Pirates' Carson Fulmer: Invited to Pirates' camp
Carson Fulmer signed a minor-league contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday and received an invitation to spring training, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.Over a career-high 86.2 innings with the Angels last season, Fulmer logged a 4.15 ERA and 1.40 WHIP across 37 appearances (eight starts). If the right-hander looks capable of offering similar ratios during spring training, he could have a decent shot at making the Pirates' Opening Day roster, though it's unclear if Pittsburgh will prefer to use him as a starter or out of the bullpen.

Angels' Carson Fulmer: Throws off mound
Carson 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.

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.
