Fulmer allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three over three innings in Friday's start against San Diego.
Fulmer has an inside track to the starting rotation, but he hasn't pitched all that well this spring, allowing 10 runs (seven earned) on 13 hits and seven walks over five innings. After serving up back-to-back home runs Friday, he's given up four long balls and at least one in each start. His performance has allowed Hector Santiago (one run, 10 K, 10 IP) to slip into the conversation for the fifth starter spot.
