On Monday morning, I was talking with Detroit Tigers general manager Al Avila.

“Are you concerned about Michael Fulmer?” I asked.

Fulmer, one of the Tigers' pitchers, had been struggling with a knee injury.

“It’s a process,” Avila said. “It’s his third knee surgery, and it’s a process about him being able to bounce back from that and feeling good about his mechanics. So it’s a process. Yeah, we are concerned. At the same time, we are hopeful that he can come back.
