Jordan Zimmermann Dealing With Forearm Tightness
5 years agoDetroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann (forearm) is dealing with tightness in his forearm, which is the same injury that shut him down for a while in 2019. It's not what you want to hear from a 34-year-old hurler that was considering retirement after the 2020 season before the coronavirus pandemic hit. Zimmermann had an ugly 6.91 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and struck out only 82 hitters in 112 innings over 23 starts. You can't trust the right-hander to stay healthy, let alone post useful numbers when he's on the mound for a rebuilding Tigers team. Hopefully this doesn't turn into a career-ending injury for him, but there's a good chance he won't be ready for Opening Day now. It'd be wise to avoid Zimmermann if you can.
