CLEVELAND -- Michael Fulmer will soon learn if he is able to pitch again this season.
The club announced the right-hander will get an MRI on his right knee on Monday in Detroit to explore inflammation sustained in the first inning of Saturday's 15-0 loss to the Indians at Progressive Field. Fulmer started the game, but he threw only five pitches before manager Ron Gardenhire knew something was wrong.
"It's just tough," Fulmer said in the clubhouse ahead of Sunday's season finale with the Tribe.
Fulmer faced two batters and allowed back-to-back home runs to Francisco Lindor and Michael Brantley.
