Michael Fulmer To Move Into Tigers Rotation
4 years agoDetroit Tigers pitcher Michael Fulmer will move into the team's starting rotation with Julio Teheran (shoulder) placed on the injured list. Fulmer will likely make his first start of the year on Wednesday against the Houston Astros. Fulmer has pitched well out of the bullpen this year. He's made three appearances, pitching seven innings and allowing four hits, no walks and two earned runs while striking out 10. His velocity has been up on each of his three main pitches this year, his slider, four-seam fastball and sinker. Fulmer has had a rough couple of years. He underwent Tommy John surgery and missed all of 2019, then posted an 8.78 ERA over 27.2 innings in 2020. He might be on the verge of a bounce-back season, so make sure to monitor his first start on Wednesday.
