Jordan Zimmermann

Jordan Zimmermann announced his retirement Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Zimmermann calls it a career after 13 seasons in the majors. He retired on Tuesday after pitching five and 2/3 innings for the Brewers in 2021. Zimmermann owned a career (95-91) record along with a 4.07 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 1,271 strikeouts across 1,614 innings for the Nationals/Tigers/Brewers over 13 seasons.

The Brewers have released right-handed pitcher Jordan Zimmermann, though they hope to bring him back on a minor-league deal.

Fantasy Impact

The 34-year-old was in camp as a non-roster invite and didn't make the Opening Day list. He owns a 4.06 ERA over 275 starts and two relief appearances, though he was tagged with four runs and just one strikeout over six innings of work this spring.

Jordan Zimmermann has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers.

Fantasy Impact

Zimmermann pitched just five innings last year in another injury-prone season, and his 6.91 ERA over 112 innings in 2019 shows that there may not be much left in the tank. He is irrelevant for fantasy purposes, even if he were to land a spot in the rotation.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Jordan Zimmermann threw three scoreless innings in a 6-3 win over the Cardinals in the second game of a Thursday doubleheader. Zimmermann struck out two and walked one.

Fantasy Impact

Zimmermann was activated from the IL earlier in the day after dealing with a forearm injury for the first two months of the season. His days of being a fantasy option are long past.

Jordan Zimmerman, who has been out all year with a forearm injury, has been activated from the injured list and will start Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Zimmerman should help the Tigers eat some innings down the stretch but he's not a recommended streaming option against the Cardinals in his first game back.
