Kyle Zimmer News
The Kansas City Royals have requested unconditional release waivers on right-handed reliever Kyle Zimmer. Zimmer was previously designated for assignment by Kansas City as the club added Rule 5 draft-eligible prospects to the 40-man roster. The fifth-overall pick in the 2012 draft, Zimmer pitched to a 4.83 ERA and a 4.82 FIP in 54 innings for Kansas City last season, giving up 30 walks while striking out 46 batters. The 30-year-old also registered 10 holds. The Royals' current high-leverage bullpen options include Scott Barlow, Josh Staumont, and Domingo Tapia.
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Kyle Zimmer was designated for assignment Friday as the team made room for seven players on the 40-man roster. The club added pitchers Jonathan Bowlan, Collin Snider, and Nathan Webb, catcher MJ Melendez, and infielders Maikel Garcia and Nick Pratto from their own system and claimed infielder Lucius Fox from the Orioles. Zimmer appeared in 52 games for the Royals in 2021, starting two games and recording a 4-1 record with two saves and a 4.83 ERA. Of the players added, Melendez and Pratto are the highest profile, as each is a top-five prospect in the system and both have the potential to make an impact at the major-league level in 2022. Neither needs to be drafted in redraft formats to start the upcoming season.
Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Kyle Zimmer (neck) has been activated from the 10-day injured list, the team announced on Monday. Zimmer was placed on the IL earlier this month with neck spasms. Injuries have hampered the 29-year-old right-hander's season and he will surely be looking to rebound from a ghastly July that left him with a 4.83 ERA. In a coordinating move, the Royals placed left-handed pitcher Jake Brentz on the injured list retroactive to August 21 with left shoulder impingement syndrome.
