Detroit — Finally, Tigers right-hander Michael Fulmer got a bit of good news.
When renowned orthopedic surgeon James Andrews put an arthroscope to Fulmer’s ailing right knee Thursday morning, he found relatively minor ancillary damage around the torn meniscus.
“We were pleasantly surprised with what Dr. Andrews saw when he got into the knee,” said Doug Teter, the Tigers head athletic trainer. “It wasn’t as in-depth or in need of as much work as we thought it may.”
Dr. Andrews performed a partial meniscopy to repair the lateral meniscus and he also smoothed some of the roughened bone surfaces.
