Jordan Zimmermann News
Right-hander Jordan Zimmermann, a two-time All-Star who threw the first no-hitter in Washington Nationals history, announced his retirement from Major League Baseball on Tuesday after 13 seasons. Zimmermann had been pitching for the Milwaukee Brewers this year and had a 7.94 ERA in 5 2/3 innings pitched, with the final appearance of his career coming last Friday when he threw two scoreless innings against the Miami Marlins. He was selected in the second round by the Nationals in 2007 out of Division III Wisconsin-Stevens Point and went 70-50 with a 3.32 ERA with Washington from 2009 to 2015. The 34-year-old finished seventh in the Cy Young voting in 2013 when he won a career-high 19 games. Zimmermann finishes with a career record of 95-91 with a 4.07 ERA.
The Milwaukee Brewers released Jordan Zimmermann on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. The 34-year-old was unable to secure a spot on the Opening Day roster, though the Brewers are still hoping to re-sign the veteran via a minor-league deal. Zimmerman was due a $100,000 retention bonus Saturday, so the release and potential re-signing would save some money for Milwaukee. Zimmerman can be ignored in terms of fantasy production. Poor durability and a low strikeout rate are typically not a recipe for success, both of which Zimmerman can attest to. He's an avoidable pitcher in all formats.
The Milwaukee Brewers signed former All-Star right-hander Jordan Zimmermann to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training on Tuesday. Zimmermann will turn 35 years old on May 23 and pitched in just three games (7.94 ERA) for the Detroit Tigers in 2020 due to a forearm injury. He went 1-13 with a brutal 6.91 ERA in 2019 but was a two-time All-Star with the Washington Nationals. Zimmermann said that he's as healthy as he's been in years. He went 70-50 with a 3.32 ERA with Washington from 2009-15 and finished seventh in Cy Young voting in 2013 and fifth in 2014. But Zimmermann went 25-41 with a 5.63 ERA in the last five seasons for the Tigers and won't be guaranteed to win a rotation spot with the Brew Crew. He should be ignored in all fantasy formats.
