Detroit — Things happen for a reason. You’ve heard that old saw a million times, right? But, truth is, a lot of times things just happen and you are hard-pressed to ever figure out a rhyme or reason for it.

Michael Fulmer, though, can point to a comforting consequence of his right elbow blowing out in March. The birth of his and wife Kelsey’s first son — Miles.

“It was really something special to be there for that,” said Fulmer, who was back in the Tigers’ clubhouse Saturday visiting his teammates for the first time since he had Tommy John surgery.
