Brewers' Jordan Zimmermann: Joining Brewers' camp
Jordan Zimmermann signed with the Milwaukee Brewers as a non-roster invitee Tuesday.The 34-year-old recorded a strong 3.32 ERA in his first seven seasons in the league as a National, but he became an entirely different and significantly worse pitcher after signing a five-year, nine-figure deal with the Tigers, struggling to a 5.63 ERA. A forearm injury limited him to just 5.2 innings last season. There's very little in his recent track record that suggests he'll be able to fill an important role in Milwaukee, but the Brewers will be happy with whatever they get out of him given his low price tag.

Tigers' Jordan Zimmermann: Shifting to bullpen
Detroit Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire confirmed Saturday that Jordan Zimmermann will work out of Detroit's bullpen moving forward, Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News reports.Zimmermann returned from the right forearm strain that had sidelined him all season to make a start Thursday in his 2020 debut, working three innings while giving up an unearned run en route to taking a no-decision against the Cardinals. Since Thursday's game was a doubleheader that forced Detroit to run out a six-man rotation last week, Zimmermann will find himself as the odd man out as Detroit's schedule allows the team to get by with five starters the rest of the way.

Tigers' Jordan Zimmermann: Solid outing in return from IL
Jordan Zimmermann didn't factor into the decision during a 6-3 win over the Cardinals in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader, allowing one unearned run on four hits and a walk over three innings. He struck out one.Making his first appearance of 2020 after he experienced forearm tightness in July and landed on the injured list, Zimmermann tossed 24 of 42 pitches for strikes in a solid performance, but he was on the hook for the loss before the Detroit Tigers staged a late rally from a 3-0 deficit. It's not clear if the 34-year-old right-hander will remain in the rotation or move into a long relief role, but Zimmermann made a strong case for another turn.
