Zimmerman cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman was brought up to the big-league roster for a spot start Tuesday and was designated for assignment afterward. The 30-year-old will stick around in the Brewers organization after being outrighted. Zimmerman allowed six runs (five earned) across six innings during the start.

The Brewers designated Zimmermann for assignment Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmermann made a spot start Tuesday in San Diego, yielding six runs (five earned) over six innings of work. He'll be replaced on the active roster by Carlos Rodriguez, who will give the Brewers' bullpen some length.

Zimmermann (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks with one strikeout over six innings against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmermann ran into early trouble, giving up a grand slam to Ryan O'Hearn in the first inning and a two-run homer to Luis Arraez in the second. It was the veteran's first MLB start of 2025 and his first big-league appearance since 2023. He spent most of this season with Triple-A Nashville, where he logged a 4.11 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 28 outings (21 starts) and 138 innings.

Zimmermann will start Tuesday's game against the Padres, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmermann was promoted to the major leagues Saturday with the expectation that it would be a brief stint, but he'll remain with the Brewers a bit longer after Brandon Woodruff (lat) ended up on the 15-day injured list. Zimmermann has fared well in the minors over his last four outings, cruising to a 1.17 ERA and 0.87 WHIP with 22 strikeouts over 23.0 innings, but he'll face a tough San Diego lineup in his first big-league action of 2025.

The Brewers selected Zimmermann's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmermann has been at Nashville all season, turning in a 4.11 ERA and 1.23 WHIP alongside a 109:30 K:BB through 138 innings. Now back in the majors for the first time since 2023, the 30-year-old will provide Milwaukee with a left-handed bullpen option capable of pitching multiple innings. Joel Payamps was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Zimmermann signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Thursday and received an invitation to spring training, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmermann remained in the minors for the entirety of the 2024 season, putting up a 4.34 ERA and 1.39 WHIP over 76.2 innings with Baltimore's Triple-A affiliate. The left-hander started in 15 of his 23 appearances at Norfolk, and he's likely to continue serving as rotation depth with Triple-A Nashville.

Zimmermann cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Norfolk, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmermann hasn't pitched in the majors this season, and he was DFA'd on Thursday to clear space on the 40-man for Emmanuel Rivera. He'll continue to serve as rotational depth in Triple-A, where he owns a 4.64 ERA and 1.47 WHIP through 66 innings.

The Orioles designated Zimmermann for assignment Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmermann was pushed off the 40-man roster with the Orioles needing to clear a spot for infielder Emmanuel Rivera, who was claimed off waivers from the Marlins. The 29-year-old southpaw made 38 appearances (27 starts) with the Orioles over the previous four seasons, but even with injuries testing the big club's rotation depth in recent weeks, Zimmermann had yet to receive a call-up from Triple-A Norfolk in 2024. He's mostly served as a member of Norfolk's rotation when healthy this season, logging a 4.64 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 60:25 K:BB across 66 innings.

Zimmermann (hamstring) allowed a run on two hits and two walks while striking out four over three innings for Triple-A Norfolk in its game versus Durham on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmermann missed nearly two months with the injury. The 29-year-old southpaw has pitched exclusively in the minors this year, though he could be an option for the Orioles in the second half, as the major-league club is in need of pitching help. Zimmermann has a 4.25 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 38:15 K:BB over 42.1 innings with Norfolk and could be a spot starter or long reliever if he gets back to the majors this season.

Triple-A Norfolk placed Zimmermann on its 7-day injured list Sunday with a hamstring injury, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmermann presumably suffered the injury during his most recent outing for Norfolk on Saturday. The 29-year-old lefty remains on the Orioles' 40-man roster but has pitched exclusively at the Triple-A level so far this season, logging a 4.35 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 34:13 K:BB across 39.1 innings.
