Fulmer was the 2016 AL ROY and a 2017 All-Star while playing for Detroit, but he hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2023 with the Cubs. He had elbow surgery following that season, but the Red Sox signed him to a minor-league deal in February 2024 despite the procedure.
The 32-year-old righty has a 3.09 ERA with 18 strikeouts in three games for Worcester this season. He also pitched in five games for Boston during spring training, posting a 0.79 ERA.
The New York Mets took Fulmer in the first round of the 2011 draft. He boasts a 3.94 career ERA in 262 major-league games.
