Carson Fulmer, White Sox 2015 first-round pick, goes to Tigers on waiver claim

The White Sox first-round pick from the 2015 draft is no longer part of the organization.

Carson Fulmer, who the White Sox designated for assignment Thursday, was claimed off waivers by the Detroit Tigers on Saturday.

Fulmer, who the White Sox selected with the No. 8 pick in the 2015 draft, was highly touted coming out of Vanderbilt but struggled to find success as a big leaguer.
