Return delayed by ankle setback Zimmermann (biceps) won't return Sunday as previously expected after spraining his ankle while exercising, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Biceps tendinitis has sidelined Zimmermann for more than two months. He was on the verge of a return before suffering the setback in a training-room accident. Exactly how serious of a setback the sprain is remains to be seen. Keegan Akin will get the nod Sunday against Boston.

Expected to make next start Zimmermann (biceps) is expected to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list in time to make his next turn through the rotation, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact Zimmermann made his third rehab start at Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday and allowed two walks in five hitless innings. The right-hander has been on the injured list with biceps tendinitis since mid-July, but he tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Boston on Sunday.

AUGUST 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Strong in rehab start Zimmermann (biceps) allowed just two walks over five hitless innings, striking out one and earning the win over Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Impact Zimmermann was quite literally unhittable in his third rehab start. He has allowed just two runs (one earned) on five hits and eight walks across 11 innings in his three rehab starts. It's possible the southpaw could be back with Baltimore as early as Sunday versus Boston if he stays on regular rest.

AUGUST 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for second rehab start Zimmermann (biceps) is scheduled to make the second start of his rehab assignment Thursday at Triple-A Norfolk, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact After being placed on the 10-day injured list June 18 with left biceps tendinitis, Zimmermann was cleared to begin his rehab assignment at High-A Aberdeen last weekend. He tossed three innings in that start, giving up two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out four. Zimmermann tossed 55 pitches in that outing, and if he can push into the 70-to-80 range Thursday, he could slot back into the Baltimore rotation for his next start.

Moving rehab to High-A Zimmermann (biceps) is moving his rehab assignment to High-A Aberdeen on Saturday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact The southpaw is expected to need at least two rehab starts before he could potentially rejoin the Orioles' big-league roster. Zimmermann is still likely at least 10 days away from being activated.

JULY 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Conducting rehab in FCL The Orioles assigned Zimmermann (biceps) to the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Monday to begin a rehab program.

Impact Zimmermann looks to be ready for game action after being shut down for just over a month with left biceps tendinitis. The rookie southpaw will most likely require at least two rehab outings in the minors to ramp up for his pitch count, making mid-to-late August a reasonable estimate for his return to Baltimore's rotation. Before hitting the injured list, Zimmermann went 4-4 with a 4.83 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and a 53:20 K:BB across 59.2 innings with the Orioles.

JULY 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Could return in August Zimmermann (biceps) could return in early-to-mid-August, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact This is the third time since he was placed on the IL on June 18 that the O's have estimated he was two or three weeks away, so we'll take this timetable with a grain of salt. Once healthy, Zimmermann would likely be sent to the minors to build back up.

JULY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Rehab pushed back Zimmermann's (biceps) rehab has been pushed back another week or two, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact The Orioles announced in late June that Zimmermann would miss two or three more weeks, and his recovery will extend another week or two as a precautionary measure. A clear timetable for the southpaw's return to game action hasn't yet been established, but he'll likely be sidelined at least through the All-Star break.

JULY 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out two or three more weeks Zimmerman (biceps) will miss two or three more weeks, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Zimmerman hasn't pitched in over a week due to left biceps tendinitis, and he's still not particularly close to returning to action. He's on track to return in early or mid-July.

Out with biceps tendinitis Zimmermann was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with left biceps tendinitis. The move is retroactive to June 15.

Impact The left-hander was scheduled to start Friday's game versus the Blue Jays but now finds himself sidelined with a biceps injury. It's a tough break for Zimmermann, who pitched well over his past four starts with a 3.43 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB across 21 innings. It's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined. Tom Eshelman had his contract selected from Triple-A Norfolk and will start in his place for the Orioles.

JUNE 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Takes loss Sunday Zimmermann allowed three runs on six hits and three walks with three strikeouts over 5.2 innings, taking the loss versus Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Impact The southpaw was solid but not spectacular, throwing just 56 of his 95 pitches for strikes. Zimmermann allowed a decisive two-RBI single to Taylor Walls in the fourth inning, and Baltimore's offense didn't get him off the hook. For the season, Zimmermann has a 4.83 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 53:20 K:BB across 59.2 innings. He projects to make his next start versus Toronto during next weekend's series.

Myriad O's Thoughts: Bruce Zimmermann's reset; Rule 5 keepers; Camden Yards' rules Zimmermann struggled with command and threw 90 pitches in five innings but tied his career-high with seven strikeouts in Tuesday's victory.

JUNE 9, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Picks up second straight win Zimmerman (4-3) recorded the win Tuesday against the Mets after allowing two runs on two hits with seven strikeouts and two walks across five innings.

Impact The 26-year-old wasn't overly efficient as he needed 90 pitches to get through five frames, but he's now given up five runs with a 20:5 K:BB over 15.1 innings across his past three starts. Zimmerman tentatively lines up to make his next turn through the rotation Sunday at Tampa Bay.

JUNE 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Notches third win Zimmermann (3-3) earned the win Tuesday versus the Twins after allowing two runs on six hits with seven strikeouts and two walks over 5.1 innings.

Impact The 26-year-old set a season high with the seven strikeouts and has given up three runs across 10.1 innings with a 13:3 K:BB in his past two starts. Zimmermann has a 4.96 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 43:15 K:BB over 49 innings (10 starts) in 2021.

JUNE 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in no-decision Zimmermann allowed a run on six hits and a walk with six strikeouts in five innings versus the White Sox on Thursday. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact The southpaw left with the game tied 1-1 after a strong pitching duel with White Sox starter Dylan Cease. Zimmermann has given up one run in two of his last three outings, although a five-spot versus Washington came in between the two better efforts. The 26-year-old has a 5.15 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 36:13 K:BB across 43.2 innings. He lines up to face Minnesota next week.

MAY 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Lasts three innings Saturday Zimmermann allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk with two strikeouts over three innings versus Washington on Saturday. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Zimmermann took a turn as the fifth starter and got through the order with relative ease the first time. The second turn didn't go as well for the southpaw, who allowed a grand slam to Josh Harrison in the third inning. Zimmermann has logged a 5.59 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 30:12 K:BB across 38.2 innings. He's started seven of his eight appearances, but the 26-year-old may not be a long-term solution for Baltimore's lack of starting pitching depth this season.

MAY 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Stepping in as fifth starter Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Zimmermann will start Saturday's game against the Nationals, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact The rookie will re-enter the rotation as a replacement for long reliever Adam Plutko, who faltered in a spot start last weekend against the Yankees. After Plutko was pounded for four runs before exiting after one inning, Zimmermann excelled in mop-up duty, limiting the Bronx Bombers to one run on two hits and one walk while striking out six over 5.2 frames. The strong outing in relief was enough to earn Zimmermann another look in a starting role, but fantasy managers should temper expectations for the lefty. In his first six outings as a starter before being demoted to the minors, Zimmermann posted a 5.40 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 6.6 K/9 across 30 innings.

Earns win against Yankees Zimmermann (2-3) allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out six in 5.2 innings to pick up the win against the Yankees on Sunday.

Impact Zimmermann was called up Sunday and served as a bulk reliever after starter Adam Plutko gave up four runs in the first inning. Zimmermann got some help from Baltimore's offense to pick up his second win of 2021. It's not yet clear whether the left-hander will remain on the major-league roster going forward or whether he'll reclaim a role as a starter.
