Boston Red Sox Call Up Former Closer to Take Place of Injured Starter on Roster

Michael Fulmer has been called up by the Boston Red Sox to fill in for Richard Fitts, who is on the 15-Day IL due to a right peck strain. Fulmer, a seasoned veteran with a 3.09 ERA in AAA, is expected to bring valuable experience following his previous successes as a starter and reliever. Having missed the entire 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery, his role remains uncertain as the Red Sox are struggling with a 7-9 record and have lost five out of their last six games.

Fulmer has a 3.09 ERA/3.31 FIP in 11.2 IP down in AAA, showcasing potential as he joins the Red Sox amidst injury issues.

Fulmer, once an All-Star, is returning to the majors after Tommy John surgery and has been effective as a reliever.
