Orioles' Bruce Zimmermann: Loses 40-man spot
The Baltimore Orioles designated Bruce Zimmermann for assignment Thursday.Zimmermann was pushed off the 40-man roster with the Orioles needing to clear a spot for infielder Emmanuel Rivera, who was claimed off waivers from the Marlins. The 29-year-old southpaw made 38 appearances (27 starts) with the Orioles over the previous four seasons, but even with injuries testing the big club's rotation depth in recent weeks, Zimmermann had yet to receive a call-up from Triple-A Norfolk in 2024.

Orioles' Bruce Zimmermann: Giving up too many runners
Bruce Zimmermann has allowed five runs (three earned) on 12 hits and three walks with seven strikeouts over 7.2 innings in Grapefruit League play.Zimmermann's history as a starter made it possible he'd be considered for a spot in the rotation, but all three of his spring appearances have come in relief. He's also giving up too many baserunners with a 1.96 WHIP in spring -- those kinds of numbers could lead to him being in the bullpen to begin the year if he makes the major-league roster.

Orioles' Bruce Zimmermann: Has chance at rotation spot
Bruce Zimmermann could be in the mix for a rotation spot with John Means (elbow) and Kyle Bradish (elbow) likely to miss the start of the season, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.Zimmermann covered 13.1 major-league innings last season, posting a 4.73 ERA and 14:0 K:BB. With Triple-A Norfolk, he featured as a starter, but ended up with middling results -- a 4-7 record, 4.42 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 110:39 K:BB through 99.2 innings across 21 starts. Zimmermann will need a strong spring to secure a spot in the rotation -- Cole Irvin and Tyler Wells will likely be favored to fill out that group if the Baltimore Orioles begin the year with a five-man rotation. Zimmermann could ultimately find himself in a swingman role.
