Adam Cimber Fantasy Stats

Free-agent right-handed reliever Adam Cimber and the Los Angeles Angels agreed to a one-year, $1.65 million deal on Wednesday, according to sources. The 33-year-old was non-tendered by the Toronto Blue Jays and will now join the recently signed Luis Garcia and closer Carlos Estevez in the back end of the Angels' bullpen for the 2024 season. This past year was a lost one for Cimber, as he didn't pitch at all in the second half due to a shoulder injury and posted an ugly 7.40 ERA in only 20 2/3 innings pitched before his injury. He had a nice 2.80 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, four saves and 58 strikeouts in 70 2/3 relief innings over a career-high 77 relief appearances the year prior in Toronto, though. The soft-tossing submariner doesn't miss many bats, but he could be valuable in deep holds leagues if he's healthy in 2024.

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Adam Cimber picked up the save in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Kansas City Royals. Cimber didn't allow a baserunner and struck out one in his inning of work. He hasn't allowed a run over 4 innings so far this season. The Jays went to closer Jordan Romano on consecutive days before this one, so he was presumably unavailable. Cimber will likely only see save opportunities in situations like today, so he won't be very valuable outside of saves plus holds leagues unless Romano is out of action. If Romano were to miss games, Cimber would be the go-to option out of the Toronto bullpen.

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Adam Cimber worked a perfect ninth inning on Thursday to close out the team's 4-1 win over the Rays to earn his fourth save of the season. The right-hander got a pair of groundouts and a strikeout on 10 pitches to end the contest with closer Jordan Romano getting the night off after working the past two nights. Cimber has found some fantasy value this season with a 7-2 record, 3.58 ERA, and a 1.04 WHIP with nine holds through 32 2/3 IP. He may run into a few more saves and wins the rest of the way and would likely be the closing handcuff if Romano were to ever miss any time.

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Adam Cimber threw a perfect inning to earn the save during Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Seattle Mariners. He retired the side to earn his third save of the season. Toronto's primary closer Jordan Romano (illness), remains day-to-day with a non-COVID-19-related illness. Cimber will continue to handle closing duties while Romano is sidelined. This season, the 31-year-old has converted all three save opportunities with a 2.20 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, and 11 strikeouts over 16 1/3 innings. Fantasy managers should add Cimber in all league formats while he's the closer in the short-term, especially managers who have Romano on their roster.

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Adam Cimber was called upon in the ninth inning in Thursday's game versus the Indians, pitching a perfect frame to seal the 3-0 win. It was just the second save of his four-year career as he mowed down his former club with a groundout, flyout, and a strikeout. Cimber has been lights-out since he was acquired by the Jays in late-June with one run allowed in 13 1/3 IP (0.63 ERA) and an 11/1 K/BB. With Jordan Romano struggling of late, Cimber could see some more save chances going forward, but seeing how the team as a whole is 27th in the league in saves, opportunities will be few and far between.

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Adam Cimber closed out the 3-0 victory against the Cleveland Indians on Thursday, picking up his first save this year. Cimber, acquired from the Miami Marlins on June 29 along with Corey Dickerson, has put up solid numbers out of the pen this season, posting a 2.22 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, with 32 K and 12 BB in 48.2 IP. The save comes a day after Jays closer Jordan Romano threw 27 pitches and gave up two runs. The move doesn't signal a change of closers and he may only be third on the closer depth chart after the trade for Brad Hand at the deadline. He isn't relevant in most leagues and should only be scooped up in very deep or AL-only leagues.

The Miami Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays completed a trade on Tuesday that will send injured outfielder Corey Dickerson (foot) to Toronto. The Marlins also send reliever Adam Cimber to the Blue Jays and will receive infielder Joe Panik and minor league relief pitcher Andrew McInvale in return. Dickerson hasn't played since June 13 and is expected to be out a few more weeks, but he will eventually return to a .263/.324/.380 batting line. The Blue Jays have several outfielders with significantly more upside, so it remains to be seen how Dickerson will make his way into that lineup. For the Marlins, it frees up space for Jesus Sanchez to play left field for the rest of the season. The key piece in the deal for the Blue Jays is Cimber, who can immediately throw in high-leverage innings for a struggling Toronto bullpen.

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Adam Cimber pitched a scoreless seventh inning in Thursday's 6-0 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Cimber walked one, but needed just 16 pitches to get through the inning without allowing any other base runners. He struck out one in the process. Cimber has had a pair of "blow up" appearances, but has otherwise been extremely solid out of the Marlins bullpen. Over his last 11 outings, Cimber has a 0.77 ERA. He's settled into a middle relief/seventh inning role, but could work his way into more significant innings if injuries or (more) ineffectiveness strikes the back end of the Marlins bullpen.

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Adam Cimber provided two scoreless innings and finished Friday's 6-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Cimber came in to pitch the eighth inning and stayed on for the ninth as well. He allowed only one hit and struck out one, lowering his ERA to 2.93. Cimber has only allowed runs in three of his 15 games this season and has been excellent outside of a three run appearance back on April 23. Cimber doesn't have the huge strikeout numbers to make him a particularly worthwhile mixed league option, but if he continues pitching well, he could move into more and more significant innings in the Marlins bullpen.

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Adam Cimber recorded four outs in Sunday's Grapefruit League finale against the New York Mets. Cimber's 1 1/3 innings included one walk and two strikeouts. He wraps up spring training with a strong 1.13 ERA and should be a key member of a much-improved Marlins bullpen. He'll likely begin the season in some kind of middle relief role, but he has the stuff to work his way into a setup role and could develop some holds league value as the season carries on.
