PITTSBURGH – Cubs reliever Michael Fulmer had been dealing with discomfort in his right forearm for a while, and the team had successfully managed his rest accordingly – until recently.
“We just felt like we hit a wall,” pitching coach Tommy Hottovy said before the Cubs’ games against the Pirates on Saturday. “We needed to kind of give it some time here.”
The Cubs put Fulmer on the 15-day injured list with a strained right forearm, retroactive to Friday.
