DETROIT -- Michael Fulmer underwent successful surgery Thursday morning on a torn meniscus in his right knee, the Tigers announced. The right-hander is expected to be ready for Spring Training.
Fulmer had a partial meniscectomy, rather than a full reattachment or reconstruction. It's an arthroscopic surgery in which the damaged part of the meniscus is cleaned up. He also had a chondroplasty, in which the bones around the meniscus are smoothed to promote healing.
"This was a really good outcome for Michael Fulmer, and us," Tigers head athletic trainer Doug Teter said.
