8 months agoLos Angeles Angels starting pitcher
Carson Fulmer earned his first quality start of the season Thursday versus the Colorado Rockies. Fulmer tossed six innings, allowing three hits, two runs, one walk and striking out eight on the evening. Fulmer's only real blemish was a two-run homer off the bat of
Michael Toglia in the top of the second inning. It was an impressive start for the Vanderbilt Commander that has been a journeyman throughout his career. Fulmer has now made 28 appearances for the Halos this season, with four starts and has a respectable 3.69 ERA. His last four outings have been as a member of the starting rotation and he has yet to allow more than three runs in an outing. Fulmer's track record suggests that he is nothing more than a streamer and he should be left on the waiver wire when he faces the Yankees on Wednesday.

1 year agoThe Los Angeles Angels invited outfielder
Jason Martin and right-hander
Carson Fulmer, among others, to big-league spring training this year. Martin, 28, was a former eighth-round pick by the Houston Astros in 2013. The left-handed hitter made his big-league debut in 2019 with the Pittsburgh Pirates and has hit just .206 (39-for-189) with six homers, 19 RBI and five steals in 85 games over three seasons. He hasn't played in the majors since 2021 with the Texas Rangers and spent 2023 in Korea. Martin will most likely end up at Triple-A Salt Lake to start 2024. Fulmer, 30, has spent parts of seven seasons in the big leagues and has a 6.14 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in 140 2/3 career innings over 77 outings (16 starts). He gave up three runs in 10 innings for the Halos during the 2023 campaign.

Carson Fulmer, catcher
Chad Wallach, outfielder
Brett Phillips and pitcher
Jhonathan Diaz to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday. Wallach and Phillips are arbitration-eligible, so they were likely to be non-tendered. Each of the players could still re-sign with the team despite reaching free agency this offseason. Fulmer, 29, pitched in just three games (one start) for the Angels in 2023, allowing three earned runs while striking out six in 10 innings. Wallach, 31, played in a career-high 65 games this year and hit just .197 (31-for-157) with a career-high seven homers. Phillips, 29, hit .175 (11-for-63) with three homers in 39 games this year. Diaz, 27, gave up 11 runs (eight earned) in just seven innings over his four outings (one start) for the Halos in 2023.

2 years agoThe Los Angeles Angels signed free-agent right-hander
Carson Fulmer to a minor-league deal on Monday. Fulmer spent spring training trying to win a roster spot with the Seattle Mariners, but he was released and now latches on with the Angels. The 29-year-old reliever will likely report to Triple-A Salt Lake to provide the Halos with some bullpen depth for the time being. Fulmer hasn't seen any work in the big leagues since 2021, when he had a 6.66 ERA (4.69 FIP), 1.52 WHIP and 20.7 percent strikeout rate in 25 2/3 relief innings over 20 appearances out of the bullpen for the Cincinnati Reds. In six major-league seasons, he has a 6.41 ERA (5.93 FIP) and 1.58 WHIP in 130 2/3 innings. Fulmer isn't fantasy relevant.
