Carson Fulmer Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Carson Fulmer (elbow) felt something in his elbow in his start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Aug. 25 but pitched through it without any issues. But his elbow continued to bother him when he tried to throw a bullpen session, and he was put on the 15-day injured list on Aug. 30. Fulmer has progressed to playing light catch and he is still hoping to return at some point before the end of the season at the end of September. He is continuing to ramp up his throwing program. The 30-year-old has operated as a swing man for the Angels in 2024, going 0-5 with a 4.15 ERA (4.56 FIP), a 1.31 WHIP and a 79:37 K:BB in 32 appearances (eight starts) over 80 1/3 innings before his injury. At this point with the Angels playing out the string, it feels unlikely that we'll see Fulmer pitching again in 2024 at the big-league level.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Carson Fulmer earned his first quality start of the season Thursday versus the Colorado Rockies. Fulmer tossed six innings, allowing three hits, two runs, one walk and striking out eight on the evening. Fulmer's only real blemish was a two-run homer off the bat of Michael Toglia in the top of the second inning. It was an impressive start for the Vanderbilt Commander that has been a journeyman throughout his career. Fulmer has now made 28 appearances for the Halos this season, with four starts and has a respectable 3.69 ERA. His last four outings have been as a member of the starting rotation and he has yet to allow more than three runs in an outing. Fulmer's track record suggests that he is nothing more than a streamer and he should be left on the waiver wire when he faces the Yankees on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Carson Fulmer was surprisingly solid on the mound during Sunday's outing against the Seattle Mariners. The right-hander threw 4 2/3 scoreless innings while striking out seven batters during Sunday's win. This was Fulmer's second big league start since the 2019 season. He has allowed two runs over 13 2/3 innings with 17 strikeouts. Fulmer is making a case to remain in the rotation following the All-Star break.

The Los Angeles Angels invited outfielder Jason Martin and right-hander Carson Fulmer, among others, to big-league spring training this year. Martin, 28, was a former eighth-round pick by the Houston Astros in 2013. The left-handed hitter made his big-league debut in 2019 with the Pittsburgh Pirates and has hit just .206 (39-for-189) with six homers, 19 RBI and five steals in 85 games over three seasons. He hasn't played in the majors since 2021 with the Texas Rangers and spent 2023 in Korea. Martin will most likely end up at Triple-A Salt Lake to start 2024. Fulmer, 30, has spent parts of seven seasons in the big leagues and has a 6.14 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in 140 2/3 career innings over 77 outings (16 starts). He gave up three runs in 10 innings for the Halos during the 2023 campaign.

The Los Angeles Angels outrighted right-hander Carson Fulmer, catcher Chad Wallach, outfielder Brett Phillips and pitcher Jhonathan Diaz to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday. Wallach and Phillips are arbitration-eligible, so they were likely to be non-tendered. Each of the players could still re-sign with the team despite reaching free agency this offseason. Fulmer, 29, pitched in just three games (one start) for the Angels in 2023, allowing three earned runs while striking out six in 10 innings. Wallach, 31, played in a career-high 65 games this year and hit just .197 (31-for-157) with a career-high seven homers. Phillips, 29, hit .175 (11-for-63) with three homers in 39 games this year. Diaz, 27, gave up 11 runs (eight earned) in just seven innings over his four outings (one start) for the Halos in 2023.

The Los Angeles Angels signed free-agent right-hander Carson Fulmer to a minor-league deal on Monday. Fulmer spent spring training trying to win a roster spot with the Seattle Mariners, but he was released and now latches on with the Angels. The 29-year-old reliever will likely report to Triple-A Salt Lake to provide the Halos with some bullpen depth for the time being. Fulmer hasn't seen any work in the big leagues since 2021, when he had a 6.66 ERA (4.69 FIP), 1.52 WHIP and 20.7 percent strikeout rate in 25 2/3 relief innings over 20 appearances out of the bullpen for the Cincinnati Reds. In six major-league seasons, he has a 6.41 ERA (5.93 FIP) and 1.58 WHIP in 130 2/3 innings. Fulmer isn't fantasy relevant.

The Seattle Mariners signed free-agent right-hander Carson Fulmer to a minor-league deal on Friday. Fulmer did not make any appearances at the major-league level in 2022, instead spending his season at Triple-A Oklahoma City in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization. He went 6-6 with a 2.86 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 35 walks and 62 strikeouts in 56 2/3 innings pitched over 49 appearances (one start). The 29-year-old former first-rounder has six years of big-league experience, most recently making 20 relief appearances for the Cincinnati Reds in 2021, when he had a 6.66 ERA (4.69 FIP), 1.52 WHIP and 24 strikeouts in 25 2/3 innings. Fulmer has a rough 6.41 career ERA in the majors with a 1.58 WHIP in 130 2/3 frames.

The Cincinnati Reds claimed right-hander Carson Fulmer off of waivers after the Pittsburgh Pirates released him last week. Fulmer, a former first-round draft pick of the Chicago White Sox, posted a 4.35 ERA and 11 strikeouts, and five walks in 10 1/3 innings of work in 2020. He will look to catch on in the Cincinnati bullpen after spending time with four clubs last season.

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Carson Fulmer was designated for assignment on Sunday following the Pirates' acquisition of reliever Duane Underwood Jr reports Jake Crouse of MLB.com. Fulmer had just earned a win on Saturday against the Yankees after allowing one hit with three strikeouts over two scoreless innings of work. The Pirates have made several acquisitions early this year to shore up their bullpen, and given Fulmer's track record through his career it's no surprise he was the odd man out in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Carson Fulmer allowed only one hit over two scoreless innings while striking out three on Saturday to earn the win over the Yankees. After surrendering two runs in one inning during his first spring appearance, Fulmer has now allowed only one baserunner and no runs while striking out four in his last three innings. Fulmer has yet to come close to living up to his potential as a former No. 8 overall pick, but he did see a career-best performance in 2020 where he posted a 23.9 percent strikeout rate while lowering his WHIP to 1.258. While the rest of the numbers aren't exactly great the uptick in strikeouts was a positive sign from Fulmer, and as he now enters his age-27 season it's possible more improvement could be in store this year. If Fulmer continues to put up performances like today through the rest of Spring Training, he could end up as a deep sleeper in saves-plus-holds formats.
