Carson Fulmer - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Denied Opening Day roster spot The Pirates reassigned Fulmer to minor-league camp Sunday.

Impact Fulmer is expected to open the season at Triple-A Indianapolis after he was unable to secure a bullpen role with the Pirates coming out of camp. The 32-year-old righty appeared in 13 big-league games with the Angels in 2025, pitching to a 5.83 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 26:11 K:BB in 29.1 innings.

Makes spring debut Fulmer (elbow) struck out a batter over two perfect innings of relief Friday in the Pirates' 7-5 win over the Tigers in Grapefruit League play.

Impact Fulmer was credited with a save in his first appearance of the spring, after he had been delayed due to his late signing in addition to completing his recovery from a right elbow strain that caused him to close last season on the shelf. Since the right-hander is attending camp as a non-roster invitee, he'll be facing an uphill battle to win a spot in the Pirates' Opening Day bullpen, but he put a strong foot forward Friday.

Lands MiLB deal with Bucs Fulmer agreed to a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Monday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact The deal includes an invitation to big-league spring training, which will give Fulmer the opportunity to compete for a spot in the Pirates' Opening Day bullpen. The 32-year-old righty didn't pitch after Aug. 23 last season after sustaining a right elbow strain, but with the offseason to recover, he should be at or near full health. Fulmer made 13 appearances out of the Angels bullpen prior to being shut down with the injury, turning in a 5.83 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 29.1 innings.

Elects free agency Fulmer (elbow) cleared waivers Thursday and elected free agency.

Impact Fulmer turned in a 5.83 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 29.1 innings with the Angels this year before a right elbow strain put an early end to his season in August. The 31-year-old will now have the freedom to choose where he begins the 2026 campaign, though he will likely have to settle for a minor-league pact this winter.

Sent outright to Triple-A The Angels outrighted Fulmer (elbow) to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Impact Fulmer can decline the outright assignment and elect free agency if he wants, but it's unclear what his intentions are. The righty's 2025 season ended in prematurely due to an elbow strain, but he did not require surgery and should heal after an offseason of rest.
