Zimmermann (8-12) was rocked for five runs on 12 hits in five innings of work in Saturday's loss to the Indians. He struck out two in the contest.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander's struggles in the previous month carried into his first start of September, as he now has a 7.65 ERA and a 1.78 WHIP in seven starts since the start of August. His upside is also limited given his lack of strikeouts in that span, as he compiled just 19 strikeouts in that same span. Zimmermann will look to right the ship when he faces the Blue Jays in his next scheduled start.
