Cubs reliever Michael Fulmer was 3-5 with a 4.42 ERA in 58 games last season after signing a one-year, $4 million contract.

The Cubs expect reliever Michael Fulmer to miss the 2024 season after he had surgery on his pitching elbow. The right-hander underwent UCL revision surgery, a procedure that has a recovery projection similar to that of Tommy John surgery, on Wednesday. He missed the 2019 season with the Tigers because of Tommy John surgery.

The 30-year-old Fulmer was 3-5 with a 4.42 ERA in 58 games last season after signing a one-year, $4 million contract.
