Manager Charlie Montoyo said Friday that Cimber may see increased save opportunities depending on matchups, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cimber earned his first save of the season Thursday against Cleveland, and he's tossed 7.2 scoreless innings across his last seven appearances. Right-hander Jordan Romano has been the favorite for save chances for most of the season, but he's recorded an 8.31 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in 8.2 innings since the start of July. While Montoyo is optimistic that Romano will be able to bounce back, the Blue Jays will turn elsewhere in some ninth-inning situations given his recent inconsistency.

Cimber picked up the save Thursday against Cleveland after tossing a scoreless ninth inning, striking out one.

EDGE Analysis

Cimber has been pitching very well of late and extended his streak of scoreless appearances to seven games, but he also recorded his first save of the campaign in a composed manner -- he needed just 14 pitches (nine strikes) to close things out in the ninth. He owns a 2.22 ERA across 47 appearances between the Marlins and the Blue Jays this season.

Cimber was added to the Blue Jays' 26-man roster prior to Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Toronto acquired Cimber along with Corey Dickerson in a trade with Miami on Tuesday. He'll officially be activated ahead of Wednesday's game and figures to immediately be a candidate for high-leverage innings after posting a 2.88 ERA across 34.1 innings with the Marlins.

Cimber and Corey Dickerson were traded from Miami to Toronto on Tuesday in exchange for Joe Panik and an unnamed pitching prospect, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The acquisition of Cimber gives the Blue Jays another competent bullpen arm. The 30-year-old righty has only struck out 15 percent of opposing batters this season but owns a 2.88 ERA in 34.1 innings, thanks in part to the fact that he hasn't given up a homer all year.

Cimber (1-2) was tagged with the loss Saturday against the Pirates after allowing an unearned run on one hit and one walk in one-third of an inning.

EDGE Analysis

Cimber pitched the 12th inning and while he retired Ke'Bryan Hayes with a flyout, he couldn't hold on and gave up the game-winning RBI on a single from Jacob Stallings that scored Adam Frazier. The 30-year-old right-hander has given up at least one run in four of his last five outings and owns a 5.68 ERA across 6.1 innings in that span.

Cimber (0-1) took the loss Friday as the Marlins fell 6-5 to the Mets in 12 innings, giving up three runs (two earned) on four hits over two innings. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

It was a worst-case scenario for Miami as the team's bullpen day ended up involving the entire bullpen. Cimber was the 10th pitcher used by the team on the night, and after he held the Mets in check in the 11th, the wheels came off in the top of the 12th. The right-hander remains a low-leverage option for the Marlins, and Cimber has yet to record a hold or save while posting a 3.27 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 16:7 K:BB through 22 innings.

Cimber was charged with three runs on two hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning during Friday's loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

After getting the final out of the sixth inning, Cimber returned for the seventh and ran into immediate trouble, giving up one run himself and then watching as Richard Bleier allowed two more inherited runners to score. Cimber has not been sharp to begin 2021, posting a 5.40 ERA and 5:5 K:BB through 8.1 innings, and he has yet to record a hold, save or decision in nine appearances.

Cimber is expected to fill a middle relief role for the Marlins this season, Jordan McPherson of The Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has looked good this spring, putting together a 1.13 ERA and 9:2 K:BB over eight innings. Cimber may not see much high-leverage work but he did record 19 holds for Cleveland in 2019, and his sidearm delivery and ability to induce groundballs could make him manager Don Mattingly's top choice when the Marlins need a double play in the late innings.

Cimber and the Marlins avoided arbitration Friday by agreeing to terms on a one-year, $925,000 deal, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The two sides won't have to start their relationship off with a potentially acrimonious arbitration hearing after Cimber was acquired from Cleveland in exchange for cash considerations in late November. The right-hander should work mainly as a low-leverage reliever for Miami in 2021.

Cimber was traded from Cleveland to Miami on Monday for cash, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was designated for assignment last week, but Miami swooped in to add Cimber to its bullpen mix. The 30-year-old righty has excelled at generating groundballs in his three-year MLB career (56.2 GB%), but he has never missed bats at a high clip. Last year he struck out five in 11.1 innings, so he is unlikely to work his way into high-leverage situations.
