The Mariners signed Fulmer to a minor-league contract Tuesday. Fulmer had been released from his minor-league deal with the Royals this past weekend but has quickly landed a new contract. The 32-year-old has allowed three runs over 5.2 innings in the big leagues this season and holds a 3.98 ERA and 68:24 K:BB over 54.1 frames at the Triple-A level.

Fulmer signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Thursday. 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.

Fulmer elected to become a free agent Monday. Fulmer passed through waivers unclaimed after being booted off the Cubs' 40-man roster and he is now free to sign with another organization. The veteran hurler has allowed three runs with a 3:2 K:BB over 5.2 innings between the Red Sox and Cubs in 2025.

The Cubs designated Fulmer for assignment Thursday. Fulmer tossed three scoreless frames over two appearances during his brief time with the Cubs. The veteran right-hander elected free agency after being removed from Boston's 40-man roster earlier this season, and he's likely to become a free agent again if he passes through waivers.

Fulmer worked around two hits to toss two scoreless innings of relief in Monday's 8-2 loss to the Cardinals. 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.
