This business stinks. Keegs is a treasure. Could make a best-selling book out of a collection of his ledes.

Tigers released 27 minor-league players today, their first round of releases this year aside from Alex Wilson. The moves coincided with Draft signings and undrafted free-agent deals. Moves normally would've happened at end of Spring Training 1.0 or post-Draft.

Fulmer said he has not talked with Gardenhire or pitching coach Rick Anderson about his potential role. Not surprisingly, he's willing to do whatever helps the team.

RT @MandyBell02: Carrasco on his health: "A year ago I was giving the news to my teammates and everyone. ...I had some ups & downs but I was really strong to do everything. ... I worked so hard to get to this point right here. I feel fine. I just want to get back to the mound and start pitching."

That question was asked. "I would say close to it," he said. "Maybe my basketball days in high school I was in a little better shape. But those were my 6-minute mile days."

One thing that stood out about Michael Fulmer's bullpen session today is that he's in much stronger, slimmer shape. Working out in Lakeland since last fall made a difference, he said. Also, getting a meal service. "I still can't cook," he said.

#Tigers Michael Fulmer on taking the field during COVID today: "It was pretty weird. It was more weird in the clubhouse wearing masks."

#Tigers Michael Fulmer on helping to nurture young pitching prospects: "The thing I tell them is to ask questions and not be afraid to approach anybody. They do a good job of asking questions and wanting to learn."

RT @MarkZuckerman: Davey Martinez: Welington Castillo, who might've made the roster as a 3rd catcher, has decided not to participate.

#Tigers Michael Fulmer on no fans: "It's going to be tough...I don't know if I might have to shoot a shot of 5-Hour Energy."

#Tigers Michael Fulmer: "I haven't checked velo numbers. It's going to take a little bit; everything feels great and I feel strong ... it's going to take some game action to get used to throwing 100 percent again."

#Tigers Michael Fulmer said he changed his diet. "You either order out or learn how to cook food." He started order meal-prep deliveries and he and his wife have been cooking together.

#Tigers Fulmer said his first pitch off the mound today was dotted on the corner of the strike zone. He joked that he wanted to drop the ball and walk off the mound after that.

#Tigers Fulmer: When (COVID) started, it gave me more time to rehab. The closer I got to being official done with rehab, the more I wanted baseball to come back.
