For 1st time in 657 days, Fulton takes hill for Marlins JUPITER, Fla. -- Marlins left-hander Dax Fulton had grown so used to watching games over the past 657 days that he got caught napping in Wed...
Faces hitters Thursday Fulton (elbow) threw live batting practice to a number of hitters Thursday, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Impact The extent of Fulton's throwing session isn't fully known, but the fact that he was facing hitters in the early stages of camp is a sign that he's healthy again after he missed the entire 2024 season while recovering from his second career Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in the summer of 2023. Despite the major red flags on his health record, the Marlins still protected Fulton from the Rule 5 Draft this winter and added him to their 40-man roster. The 23-year-old lefty isn't expected to be a factor in the majors anytime soon, as he'll need to prove his health and turn in quality results in the upper levels of the minors before he makes his big-league debut.

Joins 40-man roster The Marlins selected Fulton's (elbow) contract from Double-A Pensacola on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact Fulton was limited to 33 innings in 2023 and didn't pitch at all in 2024 while recovering from his second Tommy John surgery. The 23-year-old had the operation in June of 2023, so he should be healthy for the start of the 2025 season.
