Fulmer elected free agency Monday. Fulmer had been removed from the Angels' 40-man roster and will exercise his right to free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. The 30-year-old held a 4.15 ERA and 81:40 K:BB over 86.2 innings covering eight starts and 29 relief appearances in 2024.

Fulmer was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday. Fulmer appeared in 37 games with the Angels in 2024 and posted a 4.15 ERA and 1.40 WHIP. Because he has been outrighted multiple times, he could opt for free agency and seek a new opportunity heading into 2025.

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.

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.

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.
