It was the news we all expected, yet shied away from: Michael Fulmer is heading for Tommy John surgery. Reports yesterday were that he was seeking a third opinion after having met with specialist Dr. James Andrews. The third opinion confirmed the other two and Fulmer will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery.

Fulmer began to experience discomfort in his elbow after a bullpen session. This, after he had been shut down due to decreased velocity and struggles with his lower-body mechanics.

Tough loss for the Tigers, but it’s better to have a healthy Fulmer in the future when they’re ready to actually compete.
