Jordan Zimmermann Heading To 45-Day Injured List
4 years agoDetroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann (forearm) will be placed on the 45-day injured list with a right forearm strain, according to manager Ron Gardenhire. It's the same injury that sidelined the 34-year-old veteran hurler for a good chunk of time last season. With the season shortened to 60 games in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic, it's fair to wonder if Zimmermann will even pitch this year in the final year of his deal with Detroit. The aging pitcher had an ERA over 6.00 and a very mediocre strikeout rate in 2019 and already was a pitcher to avoid in most fantasy leagues this year. Pitching prospect Casey Mize might enter the Tigers rotation sooner than later.
