Right-hander Jordan Zimmermann, a two-time All-Star who threw the first no-hitter in Washington Nationals history, announced his retirement from Major League Baseball on Tuesday after 13 seasons. Zimmermann had been pitching for the Milwaukee Brewers this year and had a 7.94 ERA in 5 2/3 innings pitched, with the final appearance of his career coming last Friday when he threw two scoreless innings against the Miami Marlins. He was selected in the second round by the Nationals in 2007 out of ...

The Milwaukee Brewers released Jordan Zimmermann on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. The 34-year-old was unable to secure a spot on the Opening Day roster, though the Brewers are still hoping to re-sign the veteran via a minor-league deal. Zimmerman was due a $100,000 retention bonus Saturday, so the release and potential re-signing would save some money for Milwaukee. Zimmerman can be ignored in terms of fantasy production. Poor durability and a low strikeout rate are typically not a ...

The Milwaukee Brewers signed former All-Star right-hander Jordan Zimmermann to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training on Tuesday. Zimmermann will turn 35 years old on May 23 and pitched in just three games (7.94 ERA) for the Detroit Tigers in 2020 due to a forearm injury. He went 1-13 with a brutal 6.91 ERA in 2019 but was a two-time All-Star with the Washington Nationals. Zimmermann said that he's as healthy as he's been in years. He went 70-50 with a 3.32 ERA with Washington...

Detroit Tigers right-handed pitcher Jordan Zimmermann will start Sundays season finale against Kansas City, making what is likely the final start of his tenure with the Tigers. Zimmermann had signed a $110 million deal with the club ahead of 2016, and injuries have firmly scuttled his career since then, having amassed a 5.65 ERA with Detroit. He wont have much fantasy appeal in his final start, with southpaw Tarik Skubal set to serve as the bulk pitcher behind him. Should Zimmermann return to ...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann (forearm) will be placed on the 45-day injured list with a right forearm strain, according to manager Ron Gardenhire. It's the same injury that sidelined the 34-year-old veteran hurler for a good chunk of time last season. With the season shortened to 60 games in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic, it's fair to wonder if Zimmermann will even pitch this year in the final year of his deal with Detroit. The aging pitcher had an ERA over 6.00 ...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann (forearm) is dealing with tightness in his forearm, which is the same injury that shut him down for a while in 2019. It's not what you want to hear from a 34-year-old hurler that was considering retirement after the 2020 season before the coronavirus pandemic hit. Zimmermann had an ugly 6.91 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and struck out only 82 hitters in 112 innings over 23 starts. You can't trust the right-hander to stay healthy, let alone post useful numbers...

He is entering the final season of his five-year, $110 million deal...

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann was placed on the injured list on Monday with a right cervical spasm. Zimmermann, who still has one year remaining on a $110 million contract he signed with Detroit in 2016, has been a fantasy negative all year with a 1-8 record, 7.13 ERA, and just 52 strikeouts in 72 innings. Any AL-only fantasy manager who had been holding can let go now. Middle reliever Eduardo Jimenez is replacing Zimmermann on the roster.

Detroit Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said he expects starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann (elbow) to be activated from the injured list and start on Wednesday against the Pirates. The skipper said Zimmermann is "supposed to be able to go 70 pitches." The 33-year-old has been out since April 25 with a partially torn UCL in his right elbow. He was 0-4 with a 5.93 ERA, 1.35 [...]

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann (elbow, gluteus) allowed five hits (two home runs) and four earned runs while walking none and striking out six in 4 2/3 innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Toledo on Thursday night. The veteran right-hander threw 51 of his 69 pitches for strikes. The results weren't great, but it looks like Zimm came out of the outing healthy. He might need one more rehab start before rejoining the Tigers starting rotation. Zimmerman will be returning to an 0[...]
