Could be back in minimum time Manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that the early diagnosis on Fulmer's strained shoulder was positive, and the Tigers are hopeful that the right-hander could return from the 10-day i...

Impact Shoulder injuries always bring some level of concern for pitchers, but Fulmer appears fortunate to at least have avoided a significant one. Hinch's hope of Fulmer coming off the IL when first eligible Sunday may be overly optimistic, but the 28-year-old will at least have a shot at returning in the minimum amount of time if he's able to resume throwing off a mound in the next few days. After being moved to a relief role in early May, Fulmer almost immediately factored into the mix at closer for the Tigers, notching four saves in five chances before he was placed on the IL. Gregory Soto and Jose Cisnero are expected to serve as the Tigers' primary late-inning options in the short term sans Fulmer.

More tests await Manager A.J. Hinch said Fulmer, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, will undergo further tests on his strained right shoulder later in the day, when the Tigers return...

Impact The Tigers don't believe Fulmer is dealing with structural damage to the shoulder, but the medical tests should provide more information about the extent of his injury and a potential timeline for his recovery. With Fulmer on the shelf for at least the next week and a half, Gregory Soto and Jose Cisnero look like the best options for saves out of the Detroit bullpen.

Tigers place RHP Fulmer on 10-day IL with shoulder injury

The Detroit Tigers have placed right-hander Michael Fulmer on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain

JUNE 6, 2021 • Associated Press

Hits IL with shoulder strain Fulmer was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right shoulder strain, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Fulmer has been unavailable in recent days because of what the Tigers described as fatigue. The right-hander has now been officially diagnosed with a shoulder strain and will require an IL stint. It's unclear when he could be able to return to the Detroit bullpen, but his placement on the injured list can be backdated to June 3, leaving him eligible to be reinstated June 13. With four saves and a 1.35 ERA to his name since the beginning of May, Fulmer had emerged as a key piece at the back of the Detroit bullpen, but his absence likely paves the way for Gregory Soto and/or Jose Cisnero to pick up most of the closing chances.

Impact Fulmer allowed an infield single to Whit Merrifield and a walkoff home run to Carlos Santana. The right-hander had allowed only one unearned run in his previous 10 innings before Sunday's disaster. Fulmer is now 4-for-5 in save chances with four holds, a 3.69 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB across 31.2 innings. He's made 13 of his 17 appearances as a reliever after he was removed from the rotation earlier in May.
