Detroit — The Tigers won’t make it official just yet, but Michael Fulmer is close, very close to pitching again for the Tigers.
Like, maybe as soon as Friday.
“He’s going to throw again on Friday, up to 70 pitches,” manager Ron Gardenhire said before Tuesday's game. “We aren’t going to announce anything. We will see how it goes. He’s here and we are happy to see him.
“Everything went really good. He’s got one more hurdle to get over and we’ll go from there.”
So Fulmer, who threw a full bullpen session here Tuesday, will pitch either against the White Sox at Comerica Park or in Toledo against the Columbus Clippers.
