Michael Fulmer damaged the meniscus in his right knee:
At the very least, however, it’s unlikely Fulmer will pitch again this season, ending what has been a frustrating 2018 campaign for him. It also means that Fulmer’s goal of ending the season healthy is out.
Fulmer, the American League Rookie of the Year Award winner two years ago and an All-Star selection last year, entered the season coming off surgery to reposition the ulnar nerve in his right elbow after experiencing numbness and tingling in his arm last year. His arm has been healthy this season, but an oblique strain suffered just after the All-Star break sidelined him for five weeks before the knee became a problem.
Getting Fulmer back to full health for 2019 would help the Tigers improve on 2018, but they could also some good, young hitters. Most of the early prime hitters on the team this season posted very poor OBPs.
