LAKELAND, Fla. — Searching for his lost power and velocity, Detroit Tigers pitcher Michael Fulmer threw a bullpen on Friday morning without his knee brace, saying it was “definitely a step in the right direction.”
“Everything felt good,” Fulmer said. “I’m trying to wean off the knee brace.”
The Tigers announced on Thursday that Fulmer has been shut down indefinitely.
"He took a step back to refine his lower-body mechanics," manager Ron Gardenhire said, reading a prepared statement from a legal pad.
