Adam Cimber - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Signs minor-league deal with Angels Cimber and the Angels agreed on a minor-league contract Sunday.

Impact Cimber will report to Triple-A Salt Lake, returning to the Angels organization after he was released by the team July 23. The right-hander has struggled to a 7.03 ERA and 1.40 WHIP with 19 strikeouts over 24.1 innings in 28 appearances with the Angels this season. He'll look to hit the reset button against Triple-A competition.

Cut loose by Halos The Angels released Cimber (shoulder) on July 23.

Impact Cimber was moved off the Angels' 40-man roster July 22 and was given the opportunity to find work in another organization after clearing waivers a day later. The 33-year-old right-hander had posted a 7.03 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 24.1 innings out of the Angels bullpen before landing on the injured list June 15 with shoulder inflammation. Once Cimber is healthy enough to sign with a team, he'll likely have to settle for a minor-league contract.

Impact Cimber had been on the 15-day injured list while rehabbing a right shoulder injury but is now off the team's 40-man roster. The right-handed reliever has posted an unsightly 7.03 ERA and 19:14 K:BB over 24.1 innings out of the Angels' bullpen this season.

Continues rehab in Arizona Cimber (shoulder) moved his rehab activities to the Angels' spring training complex in Arizona on July 8, per MLB.com.

Impact Cimber has thrown live batting practice but hasn't yet embarked upon a rehab assignment. It's not yet clear when a rehab stint may be in order for the right-hander, who last pitched for the Angels on June 14. Cimber is dealing with a shoulder issue that reportedly began bothering him prior to that most recent appearance.

Throwing from 90 feet Cimber (shoulder) threw from 90 feet Monday and Thursday, per MLB.com.

Impact Cimber was placed on the injured list June 15 due to right shoulder inflammation one day after a poor outing against San Francisco , though he reportedly had been getting treatment on the shoulder prior to that appearance. The righty reliever appears to be making progress in his recovery given his recent throwing. However, it's unclear when Cimber might be ready to return to the Angels' bullpen.

Right-hander Adam Cimber becomes free agent when Blue Jays decline to offer 2024 contract

Right-hander Adam Cimber became a free agent when the Toronto Blue Jays declined to offer a 2024 contract

NOVEMBER 18, 2023 • Associated Press

Begins rehab assignment Cimber (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cimber didn't perform particularly well in his first rehab appearance, giving up a run on a pair of hits in his lone inning of work, but the Blue Jays will be happy to see him back on the mound after nearly a three-month absence due to a shoulder strain. The length of his absence likely means his rehab assignment won't be a short one.

JULY 19, 2023 • BLUEJAYSNATION.COM

Transferred to 60-day IL Cimber (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Cimber remains shut down nearly a month into an IL stint with a right shoulder impingement. He's now not eligible to return until late August.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Yet to resume throwing Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Friday that Cimber (shoulder) has yet to resume throwing, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Cimber was placed on the injured list June 24 with a right shoulder impingement, which actually turned out to be a rhomboid strain. He could remain on the shelf through much -- or all -- of July.

Blue Jays place RHP Adam Cimber (shoulder) on 15-day IL The Toronto Blue Jays placed right-hander Adam Cimber on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to an impingement in his throwing shoulder

JUNE 24, 2023 • DEADSPIN.COM

Placed on injured list The Blue Jays placed Cimber on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right shoulder impingement.

Impact This will be Cimber's second stint on the injured list this season, as he previously spent nearly a month on the IL due to an upper-back strain. The 32-year-old righty holds a 7.40 ERA and 1.55 WHIP through 20.2 innings on the season -- heavily inflated by the nine runs he's allowed in 2.1 innings across his last three appearances. Bowden Francis was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move.

JUNE 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back from paternity list Cimber was reinstated from the paternity list Friday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Cimber will rejoin the team after he missed three days while with his expanding family. He'll return to the Blue Jays' bullpen while right-hander Thomas Hatch was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on paternity list The Blue Jays placed Cimber on the paternity list Tuesday.

Impact Cimber is allowed to be away from the team for three days while he spends time with his family. Bowden Francis was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo to replace Cimber in Toronto's bullpen.

JUNE 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless outing in return Cimber gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning during Tuesday's rout of the Rays.

Impact It wouldn't have been possible to find a lower-leverage spot for Cimber in his return from the injured list -- the Jays were up 20-1 when he took the mound -- but the appearance was still a success as he tossed nine of 14 pitches for strikes, and the one hit he allowed came when Christian Bethancourt fought off a fastball above the strike zone and slapped it the other way for a single. Cimber looked good early in the season before being shut down due to back issues, and if he stays healthy the sidearming right-hander should be a key part of the middle-inning bridge to closer Jordan Romano.

MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Reinstated from IL Cimber (back) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact A right rhomboid strain has held Cimber out since the end of April, but after throwing an extra bullpen session Monday, the 32-year-old righty will return to Toronto's bullpen. Cimber has allowed five earned runs through 10 innings this season with three of them coming in his last two appearances.

MAY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Activation decision Tuesday A decision on whether to activate Cimber (back) could come as soon as Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Cimber had been slated to for activation Monday, but the Jays elected to have him throw another bullpen session that day before re-evaluating him. He's been out since late April with a right rhomboid strain.

MAY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to return Monday Cimber (back) is expected to be activated from the injured list Monday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cimber rejoined the Blue Jays on Thursday after a couple rehab appearances, but the team will wait a few days before officially re-adding him to the roster. He has posted a 4.50 ERA over 11 relief outings in 2023.

MAY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Activation imminent Cimber (back) has rejoined the Blue Jays in Toronto and his activation appears imminent, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cimber has been on the shelf since April 24 with a rhomboid strain but is ready to roll now after a couple scoreless rehab appearances. He holds a 4.50 ERA over 11 relief appearances with the big club this season.
