Carson Fulmer will have to wait a little longer to show he can be a reliable member of the White Sox major league bullpen. But Monday was a good start. Or, rather, a good relief.
Fulmer was promoted to the big league team ahead of Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays, and a few hours later, he made his first pitching appearance in the big leagues since last May. He was good. But he was never going to get a chance to stick this time.
Manager Rick Renteria revealed that the plan was always to have Fulmer available as bullpen insurance for Monday's game after six relievers were used in Sunday's loss to the Seattle Mariners.
