Fulmer steady as struggling Tigers face uncertain future

DETROIT (AP) Every time the Detroit Tigers lose another game, the franchise moves a bit closer to a highly murky future. It’s hard to say what the roster will look like a year from now – or even a month from now.

Amid all that uncertainty, Michael Fulmer has added some much-needed stability in the starting rotation.

After winning Rookie of the Year honors in 2016, Fulmer has been one of the most dependable pitchers in the American League so far this season. He is Detroit’s lone representative for the All-Star Game – even Miguel Cabrera didn’t make it this time – and at age 24, he could be the player the Tigers eventually try to rebuild around.
