Fails to make Opening Day roster The Giants reassigned Fulmer to minor-league camp Wednesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Fulmer joined the Giants as a non-roster invitee in February, and he had a solid showing during spring training with five earned runs allowed and a 16:4 K:BB over 10.1 innings. He made just three regular-season appearances between the Cubs and Red Sox last season after missing all of 2024 due to UCL revision surgery.

Impact Fulmer got into three games in the majors in 2025 but spent most of the year at the Triple-A level, collecting a 3.39 ERA and 86:29 K:BB over 66.1 innings. The right-hander will turn 33 in March and will attempt to win one of the final spots in the San Francisco bullpen.

Inks minors deal with Royals Fulmer signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Thursday.
Impact Fulmer lost his place on the Cubs' 40-man roster last Thursday despite pitching three scoreless innings during his time with the team. He'll now attempt to work his way back into the big leagues with Kansas City, though he will first need to prove himself at Triple-A Omaha. As long as the 32-year-old's 3.00 ERA in the minors this year follows him to his new organization, it may not be long before he gets a shot with the Royals.

Happ hits leadoff HR, Boyd tosses 6 innings to help the Cubs beat the Cardinals 8-0

Tosses two clean innings Monday Fulmer worked around two hits to toss two scoreless innings of relief in Monday's 8-2 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact After Chicago starter Ben Brown was tagged for eight runs in five innings, Fulmer came on in mop-up duty with the game largely out of reach. It was the veteran righty's first appearance for the Cubs this season, as he started the year in Boston before getting cut loose toward the end of April. Fulmer previously pitched for Chicago in 2023, logging a 4.42 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 65 strikeouts across 57 innings out of the bullpen. He will likely serve as a low-leverage reliever this time around for the Cubs, which limits his fantasy appeal.

Summoned to big leagues The Cubs selected Fulmer's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Monday.
Impact Fulmer will begin his second stint in the big leagues with the Cubs, after he previously made 58 relief appearances for the club during the 2023 season. He underwent UCL revision surgery shortly after that season and didn't pitch in 2024 before catching on with the Red Sox. After being booted off the Red Sox's 40-man roster and electing free agency in April, Fulmer reunited with the Cubs on a minor-league deal and pitched effectively at the Triple-A level. He'll earn another look in the Chicago bullpen after he logged a 2.96 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 32:11 K:BB in 24.1 innings with Iowa.

Impact Fulmer was knocked around in his lone appearance with the big club, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over 2.2 innings. It was the first outing in the majors for the 32-year-old since 2023, as he missed the entire 2024 season while recovering from UCL revision surgery. It's possible there will be interest via trade or waivers in Fulmer, who offers versatility after being stretched out as a starter at Triple-A Worcester.
