Michael Fulmer and Chris Murphy, who missed the entire 2024 season while recovering from injury, could be ready by the start of training camp this winter.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"inline-text\">Fulmer underwent the second ulnar collateral ligament surgery of his career in Oct. 2023.\u00a0He signed a two-year minor-league deal\u00a0with the Sox on Feb. 8, 2023, so they could have him as a depth option after his recovery is completed, much like closer Liam Hendriks, who will also be available in 2025.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"inline-text\">Michael Fulmer and Chris Murphy could return to Red Sox around spring training to bolster bullpen<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"twitter\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1846631346191638765&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fbosoxinjection.com%2Fred-sox-injury-update-pitching-staff-projected-to-get-more-help-in-2025-01jaqzd43500&amp;sessionId=870d958b6c5a0d8d086d39e911dd9919d0b4d58e&amp;siteScreenName=bosoxinjection&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1846631346191638765\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"inline-text\">Rob Bradford of WEEI and the &#8220;Baseball Isn&#8217;t Boring&#8221; podcast reported on Oct. 16 that Fulmer has begun throwing off a mound and is trending toward a spring training return. He posted a 4.42 ERA over 57 innings out of the Cubs&#8217; bullpen in 2023 and a 3.94 ERA in 674 innings over his seven-year big-league career.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"inline-text\">Murphy also spent the 2204 season recovering from an elbow surgery \u2014 Tommy John, to be exact.\u00a0Chris Cotillo of\u00a0<em>MassLive<\/em>\u00a0reported\u00a0that Murphy has begun throwing with no issues.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"inline-text\">The lefty&#8217;s big league career began with the Red Sox in 2023, when he pitched to a 4.91 ERA over 47.2 innings. His season began with the WooSox as a starter, but he was later transitioned to a reliever role when he was called up to Boston.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"inline-text\">The Red Sox could use experienced, quality relief options next season after the complete bullpen implosion of 2024, but Fulmer and Murphy could be solid depth choices. Boston&#8217;s group of late-inning arms is low on lefties, and Murphy will bring a bit of diversity to the mix. Fulmer and Murphy aren&#8217;t the answer to the Sox&#8217;s late-inning woes, but they could help stabilize the staff \u2014 hopefully\u00a0alongside some top-tier free agent talent or trades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boston Red Sox&#8217;s pitching staff will need significant bolstering before the 2025 season begins.
