Michael Fulmer Looks Good In Intrasquad Action
4 years agoDetroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer (elbow) looked good on Wednesday during a brief, two-inning, 25-pitch outing in the team's intrasquad game. It was an important milestone in his recovery from Tommy John surgery last March, and he will look to prove to the Tigers that he belongs in the Opening Day rotation over the next couple of weeks. The 27-year-old right-hander was the American League Rookie of the Year in 2016 and was an All-Star in 2017, but he was disappointing with a 4.69 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 7.5 K/9 in 24 starts in 2018. Fulmer has never been one to miss bats, with a 7.0 K/9 in 456 innings over three years, and fantasy owners will want to see him rebound before they invest in him. Detroit is likely to play it safe with him in 2020, too, which will make it even more difficult for him to achieve any fantasy interest.
