Detroit Tigers spring observations: New baby, Tarik Skubal's solid debut, more Akil Baddoo

SARASOTA, Fla. — Detroit Tigers pitcher Michael Fulmer has had a heck of a week.

The most important, life-changing part? His wife, Kelsey, gave birth to a girl, Sadie Caroline.

“Both are healthy and doing well,” Fulmer said.

While juggling daddy duties, Michael threw a bullpen to a friend back home in Oklahoma. He returned to Lakeland on Wednesday and immediately went into quarantine — everything gets complicated when players go outside of the bubble.

Fulmer was cleared to return to the Tigers' facility on Friday and made his debut on Saturday against the Baltimore Orioles, which he called a "rusty" but “good” performance.
