Cincinnati – This wasn’t meant to be an organizational depth move.
The Tigers Saturday claimed right-handed pitcher Carson Fulmer off waivers from the White Sox because they think he can help them win games now.
“I don’t think we would have gone out and got him if we didn’t think he could contribute now,” manager Ron Gardenhire said. “This is a big arm and our people think highly of him. If he can figure it out, get his control – maybe Andy (pitching coach Rick Anderson) can help him out – he could be an impact guy.
