Tigers Place Michael Fulmer On 10-Day DL

By Jeff Todd | August 3, 2017 at 5:56pm CDT

The Tigers have placed prized righty Michael Fulmer on the 10-day DL, as Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports. He has been diagnosed with ulnar neuritis in his right elbow.

While any elbow-related issue is always cause for some concern, there’s no reason to think there is any structural problem here. As manager Brad Ausmus noted, it is sometimes necessary to treat this issue with surgery — see, e.g., here — but that’s not currently an option. Regardless, there is no reason to think the nerve issue could balloon into a larger issue.

For the time being, Fulmer will simply take a week off while receiving treatment for inflammation. The idea, he says, is “to give me time to let the nerve calm down a little bit.” Fulmer added that he has experienced these symptoms — “numbing and tingling in the last two fingers” — for some time, but never previously during a game.

Fulmer, 24, will hope to bounce right back onto the mound after a brief layoff, though surely the club will be watching closely and won’t take any chances. After all, he is one of the best young starters in baseball. Fulmer has thrown 299 1/3 innings of 3.31 ERA ball since the start of the 2016 season, and won’t qualify for arbitration until after the 2018 season — when he’s lined up to be a Super Two.

      Given their spot in the standings, probably best to give Fulmer as much time off as they can.

        Yup no need to rush this guy. Didn’t Tigers limit his innings first year?

      Oh well now that the Tigers know that, I’m sure they will rush him back.

      I have great pitching. In additon to Fulmer, I have Kershaw, Syndergaard, and A Sanchez.

        You need to pick up Bartolo Colon.

    Giving the fact that they are not making the playoffs and he is the future ace shut him down the rest of the year

    I guess the injury bug has now moved on to former Mets as well.
