Detroit Tigers' Michael Fulmer has 'absolutely zero' concerns about spring training debut
LAKELAND, Fla. — Detroit Tigers right-hander Michael Fulmer didn't look like himself Wednesday afternoon.
"It felt a little rusty," Fulmer said Thursday morning.
"It's kind of to be expected. Nothing moved the way it should."
The 29-year-old, who transitioned from a starter to a reliever last season, pitched the fifth inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Joker Marchant Stadium for his spring training debut.
Fulmer threw eight of 19 pitches for strikes and recorded one out before Tigers manager AJ Hinch removed him from the game. He allowed two runs on two hits and one walk, without a strikeout.
