Fulmer will likely be on the shelf for longer than the minimum 10 days after suffering a left oblique strain Friday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. "[The injury] is going to put him out for a while," Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said.
Fulmer injured his oblique during a light bullpen session Friday ahead of his scheduled start Sunday. It's expected that long reliever Blaine Hardy will move into the rotation to take Fulmer's spot, likely for multiple turns. More updates on Fulmer's status should surface as he resumes playing catch, but the injury would at least seem to take any possibility of a trade to a contending club at the deadline off the table.
