Zimmer was released by the Rockies on Sunday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old was let go Sunday with the Rockies acquiring Jake Cave from the Phillies. Zimmer had a strong showing during spring training with a .341/.400/.512 slash line in 45 plate appearances.

Zimmer signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmer spent time at the Triple-A level in the Dodgers and Red Sox organizations in 2023, hitting eight homers and stealing 19 bases in 78 games. The 31-year-old has a career .631 OPS and 33.9 percent strikeout rate over parts of six major-league seasons. He'll try to win a reserve outfielder role in Colorado.

Zimmer signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Friday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmer was just released by the Dodgers earlier Friday, so it appears this deal was in the works. The veteran outfielder has managed just a .665 OPS at the Triple-A level this season but will give the Red Sox some experienced depth in center field.

Zimmer was released by the Dodgers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmer had just a .665 OPS at Triple-A Oklahoma City to earn a pink slip. Now 30, Zimmer will seek to latch on somewhere else on a minor-league contract.

Zimmer was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Dodgers on Saturday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmer was attempting to win one of the final bench spots for the Dodgers to open the season after signing as an NRI over the winter. The former top prospect hit .276/.400/.345 with a pair of stolen bases over 20 games in the Cactus League, but he'll likely begin the 2023 season as a starting outfielder for Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Zimmer agreed to a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmer will presumably be with the big leaguers in spring training, at least to begin camp. He would seem to be a long shot to make the team, though he remains viable as an outfield reserve thanks to his speed and defense. Now 30, Zimmer has struck out in more than one-third of his 975 major-league plate appearances to date while slugging .333 across 372 games.

The Blue Jays declined to tender Zimmer a contract for 2023.

EDGE Analysis

After previously being designated for assignment, Zimmer now enters free agency. Toronto took a chance on Zimmer and the experiment mostly backfired, though Zimmer remained a plus on the defensive side of the ball. Zimmer has stolen 42 bases in 372 games in the big leagues while slashing just .213/.298/.333.

Zimmer was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmer was claimed off waivers by Toronto in August but won't stick on the 40-man roster through the offseason. He appeared in 109 games between the Phillies and Blue Jays in 2022 and posted a .435 OPS.

Zimmer wasn't included on the Blue Jays' roster for the AL Wild Card Series versus the Mariners, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmer will join the Blue Jays' taxi squad ahead of the series with the Mariners as Toronto opted to keep just four outfielders for the wild-card round. The 29-year-old struggled to an anemic .124 batting average over 105 at-bats this season, making him an unlikely option at the plate moving forward if the Blue Jays' advance further in the postseason.

The Blue Jays claimed Zimmer off waivers from the Phillies on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

After he was designated for assignment by the Phillies on Saturday, Zimmer will return to the Blue Jays, who DFA'd him earlier in the month. The outfielder doesn't provide much from the plate, but he's proven to be a reliable defensive option. Since he doesn't have any minor-league options remaining, Zimmer will need to be added to the Blue Jays' active roster.
