• Angels' Carson Fulmer: Activated, heading to bullpen

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  The Angels reinstated Fulmer (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Sunday, and he'll shift to a relief role, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. The right-hander was operating as a starter when he landed on the IL with elbow inflammation in late August, but he'll shift to a relief role now that he's recovered from the injury. Fulmer is returning to the active roster without a rehab assignment, so the move to relief is likely allowing him to more quickly rejoin the Angels.

• Angels' Carson Fulmer: Throws off mound

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Fulmer (elbow) threw a bullpen session Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. Friday marks the first time Fulmer has thrown off a mound since he landed on the injured list in late August due to right elbow inflammation. It's still unclear if the right-hander will be able to pitch again before the end of the season, though the Angels likely won't be in any rush to insert him back into their rotation given the fact they have already been eliminated from playoff contention, and the 30-year-old journeyman likely isn't in their future plans.

• Angels' Carson Fulmer: Resumes playing catch

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Fulmer (elbow) has been playing light catch and is hoping to return to game action before the end of the season, per MLB.com. Fulmer landed on the injured list Aug. 30 due to right elbow inflammation. He first noticed the issue during his Aug. 25 start but continued pitching, and he attempted to throw a bullpen session days later before the decision was made to put him on the IL. While the injury doesn't appear to be serious and there remains a chance of Fulmer returning to action this season, the Angels are unlikely to rush his recovery since they are well out of the playoff race.

• Angels' Carson Fulmer: Placed on injured list

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  The Angels placed Fulmer on the 15-day injured list Friday due to right elbow inflammation, retroactive to Aug. 27. Fulmer allowed two runs and struck out eight batters over six innings during his last start Saturday, but he appears to have come away from the outing with elbow problems. He'll be forced to sit out until at least Sept. 11, and the 30-year-old may not have a rotation spot waiting for him when he returns -- the Angels are calling up top prospects Samuel Aldegheri and Caden Dana from Double-A Rocket City to bolster their rotation.

• Angels' Carson Fulmer: Still winless despite quality start

  27D ago • By RotoWire

  Fulmer (0-5) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Saturday, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks with eight strikeouts over six innings. Fulmer's eight punchouts tied a season high, but he unfortunately matched up against Bowden Francis who didn't allow a hit until the ninth inning. While Fulmer hasn't routinely worked deep into games, the 30-year-old has allowed three earned runs or fewer in seven of eight starts since being moved into the rotation July 14. On the season, he owns a 4.15 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 79:37 K:BB across 80.1 innings and lines up to face the Mariners at home next week.
