TYLER ZUBER NEWS

Optioned to Triple-A The Rays optioned Zuber to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Impact Zuber was with the Rays for two days, allowing one run over 1.2 innings in a relief appearance Monday versus the Yankees. He's being replaced on the roster by Tyler Alexander, who will handle bulk relief duties Tuesday in Toronto.

Called up from Triple-A The Rays recalled Zuber from Triple-A Durham on Sunday.

Impact Tampa Bay added Zuber to its 40-man roster over the All-Star break, and the righty reliever will now make his return to the big leagues for the first time since 2021 after getting recalled. Zuber missed all of the 2022 season and a large chunk of the 2023 campaign while he battled shoulder impingement syndrome, but he's been healthy and effective since joining the Rays on a minor-league deal in mid-May. Over 21.2 innings out of the Durham bullpen, Zuber logged a 2.49 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB.

Added to 40-man roster The Rays selected Zuber's contract Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Durham.

Impact This would seem to be related to the Rays wanting to prevent Zuber from exercising an opt-out clause in his minor-league contract. The 29-year-old reliever holds a 2.49 ERA and 29:6 K:BB over 21.2 innings this season at Durham. He has not appeared in the majors since 2021.

Cut loose by Cleveland The Guardians released Zuber on Sunday.

Impact Zuber had attended camp as a non-roster invitee, but he never made a serious push for a spot in the Guardians' Opening Day bullpen. The 28-year-old right-hander made 54 relief appearances with the Royals between the 2020 and 2021 seasons, but he hasn't seen any action in the big leagues since while struggling to bounce back from right shoulder impingement syndrome, a condition that first surfaced when he attended spring training with the Diamondbacks in 2022.

Cut loose by Arizona The Diamondbacks released Zuber on July 3.

Impact The 28-year-old right-hander has previously made 54 appearances in the majors with the Royals, but he hasn't surfaced in the big leagues since 2021 while struggling to return to form following a lengthy bout with right shoulder impingement syndrome. Before getting released, Zuber logged 20.2 innings at Triple-A Reno this season, pitching to a 5.23 ERA and 1.50 WHIP.

Returns from shoulder injury Triple-A Reno reinstated Zuber (shoulder) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Zuber's next appearance out of the Reno bullpen will be his first in affiliated ball since 2021 after he endured a lengthy recovery from right shoulder impingement syndrome. The 27-year-old has previously made 54 relief appearances in the majors with the Royals, but he'll need to string together several quality innings in Reno before he gets a call-up from the Diamondbacks.

Throws first bullpen session Zuber (shoulder) posted a video to his personal Twitter account Friday of his first bullpen session of the spring.

Impact "Been a long time coming," Zuber tagged the short clip, "but finally off the mound!!" The 27-year-old right-hander missed the entire 2022 campaign after being diagnosed with shoulder impingement syndrome, but he could emerge as a middle relief option for the Diamondbacks at some point in 2023 if he has better luck on the health front.

FEBRUARY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Outrighted to Triple-A Zuber (shoulder) was outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Friday.

Impact Zuber hasn't pitched in a game since 2021 due to right shoulder impingement syndrome. He was claimed off waivers from Kansas City in October, but will have to start the season in Triple-A before the Diamondbacks feel comfortable bringing him back to the majors.

Claimed off waivers Zuber (shoulder) was claimed off waivers by the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

Impact Zuber missed the entire 2022 campaign due to right shoulder impingement syndrome but resumed throwing off flat ground in recent weeks. He'll likely compete for a spot in Arizona's big-league bullpen if he's healthy in time for spring training in 2023.

OCTOBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Throwing again Zuber (shoulder) posted a video Wednesday on his personal Twitter account showing him throwing off flat ground.

Impact In the video, Zuber looked to be throwing at close to his usual velocity, albeit not off a mound. The 27-year-old right-hander missed the entire 2022 season while recovering from right shoulder impingement syndrome but looks on pace to be fully cleared in advance of spring training.
