Unlikely to pitch again this season Fulmer is dealing with a right elbow strain and probably won't return to pitching this season, per MLB.com.

Impact Fulmer was originally diagnosed with elbow inflammation when he landed on the injured list Sunday, but further testing revealed a strain. The injury may not require surgery, but it's serious enough to likely end his 2025 campaign. If that's the case, Fulmer will finish the season with a 5.83 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 26:11 K:BB over 29.1 innings across 13 appearances with the Angels.

Shelved with elbow inflammation The Angels placed Fulmer on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right elbow inflammation.

Impact According to MLB.com, Fulmer sustained the injury while throwing a changeup during his relief appearance in Saturday's 12-1 loss to the Cubs. Before departing, Fulmer was charged with six earned runs on seven hits and one walk over 1.1 innings, bringing his ERA up to 5.83 for the season. Though the Angels are labeling his injury as inflammation, Fulmer will undergo further testing as the team looks to rule out a more significant issue to his elbow, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register.

Tosses 85 pitches in bulk relief Fulmer tossed five relief innings against Detroit on Sunday, allowing two runs on one hit and four walks while striking out three batters in a no-decision.

Impact Jack Kochanowicz started for the Angels and was roughed up, giving up seven runs (six earned) over three-plus frames. Fulmer entered in the fourth and remained on the mound for the remainder of the contest, throwing 85 pitches to Kochanowicz's 84. While Fulmer was wild -- only 49 of his offerings were strikes, and he walked four batters -- the only hit he gave up was a two-run homer by Riley Greene. The right-hander's pitch count was his second-highest of the season, falling just shy of the 88 he tallied against Texas on July 10, suggesting that he's capable of handling a starter's workload despite exclusively working out of the bullpen since joining the Angels' organization in early June. Kochanowicz was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake following Sunday's poor outing, and while Los Angeles has not yet announced how it plans to handle his spot in the rotation, Fulmer is a logical candidate to step into a starting role given his unplanned piggyback and hefty workload Sunday.

Contract selected by LAA The Angels selected Fulmer's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Impact Fulmer began the season in the Pirates' organization but was released last month and then signed a minor-league deal with the Angels. He appeared in nine games for Salt Lake, registering a 1.54 ERA and 12:6 K:BB across 11.2 innings of work. Fulmer will fill a middle-relief role for the Halos.

Gets MiLB deal with Angels The Angels signed Fulmer to a minor-league contract Wednesday.

Impact Fulmer had spent the season at Triple-A Indianapolis in the Pirates organization, posting a 4.64 ERA and 38:16 K:BB over 42.2 innings in six starts and seven relief appearances before being released Monday. The 31-year-old was in the majors with the Angels for 40 games from 2023 to 2024, collecting a 4.00 ERA and 87:44 K:BB across 96.2 frames. Fulmer will provide swingman depth at Triple-A Salt Lake.

Minors deal with Angels The Angels signed Fulmer to a minor-league contract Wednesday.

Impact Fulmer had been at Triple-A Indianapolis in the Pirates organization, where he posted a 4.64 ERA and 38:16 K:BB over 42.2 innings in six starts and seven relief appearances. The 31-year-old was in the majors with the Angels for 40 games from 2023 to 2024, collecting a 4.00 ERA and 87:44 K:BB across 96.2 frames. Fulmer will provide swingman depth at Triple-A Salt Lake.

Headed to Triple-A Fulmer was reassigned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

Impact Fulmer signed a minor-league deal with Pittsburgh in December, producing a 4.15 ERA with five strikeouts over 8.2 innings in six appearances, including one start, during spring training. The right-hander will look to impress with Indianapolis in order to potentially get a shot with the Pirates' major-league roster down the road this season.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Invited to Pirates' camp Fulmer signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Friday and received an invitation to spring training, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Over a career-high 86.2 innings with the Angels last season, Fulmer logged a 4.15 ERA and 1.40 WHIP across 37 appearances (eight starts). If the right-hander is able to offer similar production during spring training, he could have a decent shot at making the Pirates' Opening Day roster, though it's unclear if Pittsburgh will prefer to use him as a starter or out of the bullpen.

DECEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Elects free agency Fulmer elected free agency Monday.

Impact Fulmer had been removed from the Angels' 40-man roster and will exercise his right to free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. The 30-year-old held a 4.15 ERA and 81:40 K:BB over 86.2 innings covering eight starts and 29 relief appearances in 2024.

OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A Fulmer was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

Impact Fulmer appeared in 37 games with the Angels in 2024 and posted a 4.15 ERA and 1.40 WHIP. Because he has been outrighted multiple times, he could opt for free agency and seek a new opportunity heading into 2025.

OCTOBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Activated, returning to bullpen The Angels reinstated Fulmer (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Sunday, and he'll shift to a relief role, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The right-hander was operating as a starter when he landed on the injured list with elbow inflammation in late August, but he'll shift to a relief role now that he's recovered from the injury. Fulmer is returning to the active roster without a rehab assignment, so the move to relief is likely allowing him to more quickly rejoin the Angels.
