Chicago Cubs reliever Michael Fulmer is expected to miss the 2024 season following elbow surgery.
The 30-year-old right-hander had UCL revision surgery on his right elbow on Wednesday, the team confirmed Thursday.
He ended the season on the 60-day injured list after going 3-5 with a 4.42 ERA and two saves in 58 games (one start).
The timing is terrible for Fulmer, who is set to become a free agent after playing on a one-year, $4 million contract.
Fulmer is 37-50 with 19 saves and a 3.94 ERA in 262 games (90 starts) with the Detroit Tigers (2016-18, 2020-22), Minnesota Twins (2022) and Cubs.
He was an American League All-Star with Detroit in 2017.
