Detroit Tigers' Michael Fulmer vs. Pirates: 'Some of the best stuff I had' Detroit Tigers right-hander Michael Fulmer talks Wednesday, April 21, 2021, after a 3-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates at Comerica Park.
APRIL 22, 2021 • FREEP.COM
Takes loss in matinee Fulmer (1-1) allowed three runs on four hits and a walk with three strikeouts over four innings. He took the loss in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Pirates.
Impact Fulmer was initially only expected to work three innings at most, but his pitch count was low enough to stay in. That turned out to be a mistake, as the Pirates tagged him for three runs in the fourth inning. The right-hander had a 3.94 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 15 strikeouts across 16 innings this season. Fulmer is still working up his pitch count -- he threw 60 pitches Wednesday (40 strikes). He could start on short rest versus the Royals on Sunday, but he could be piggybacked again as he was against the Pirates.

Will be piggybacked Wednesday Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Fulmer will pitch only 2-to-3 innings in his start during the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Pirates before Tarik Skubal follow...
Impact Fulmer had been expected to make a more traditional start Tuesday, but that plan was thwarted after inclement weather in Detroit resulted in a postponement. Beginning Wednesday, the Tigers will begin a stretch of six games in five games, but Hinch apparently isn't planning on adding a sixth starter to the mix. Instead, the skipper is hopeful that with an abbreviated outing Tuesday, Fulmer will be ready to start on three days' rest in Sunday's series finale versus the Royals.

Earns first win since 2018 Fulmer (1-0) allowed two runs on three hits across five innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Astros. He walked one and struck out two.
Impact Fulmer was solid if not spectacular against a potent Houston lineup, and it earned the righty his first win in the majors since 2018. It's been a long road back for Fulmer, who missed all of 2019 following Tommy John surgery then logged only 27.2 innings last season as the Tigers eased him back into action. With Julio Teheran (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list, Fulmer could stick in the rotation for a bit, though Spencer Turnbull's return from the COVID-19 injured list will complicate matters. For now, Fulmer is lined up to start again Tuesday against Pittsburgh, and he'll look to build on this positive outing.

Will replace Teheran in rotation Fulmer is slated to start Wednesday's game in Houston, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.
Impact Though Derek Holland received the first chance to replace the injured Julio Teheran (shoulder) in the rotation earlier this weekend in Cleveland, he failed to capitalize on the opportunity, working only 2.2 innings while giving up three runs on four hits. Fulmer, meanwhile, thrived as a mop-up man behind Holland, striking out five over four innings of a one-run ball. On the heels of that impressive relief outing, Fulmer will get the starting nod over Holland, but he may need another strong showing versus Houston to guarantee himself future turns through the rotation. The Tigers will eventually return Spencer Turnbull from the COVID-19 injured list, and he could end up bumping one of Fulmer or youngsters Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal from the rotation.

Tigers' Teheran to miss multiple starts with shoulder strain
Detroit Tigers starter Julio Teheran has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right shoulder that bumped him from a scheduled start on FridayAPRIL 10, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pitches four innings in relief Fulmer pitched four innings in relief during Friday's loss to Cleveland. He allowed one run on two hits while striking out five.
Impact Julio Teheran (shoulder) was scratched from his start Friday and subsequently placed on the 10-day injured list, so the Tigers made it a bullpen game started by Derek Holland. Fulmer pitched the final four innings of the contest, and it's noteworthy because the righty never went beyond three innings last season, which was his first year back after Tommy John surgery. Fulmer looked good in the longer appearance, and while he's currently in the Detroit bullpen, he could work his way back into the rotation at some point.
