ADAM CIMBER NEWS

Begins rehab assignment Cimber (back) began a rehab assignment with Low-A Dunedin on Thursday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cimber walked one and struck out one in two-thirds of an inning. It's not clear how many rehab appearances he'll need before being activated, but it shouldn't be too many since he's missed less than three weeks of action.

Closing in on rehab assignment Cimber (back) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Assuming he bounces back well, Cimber could be ready for a rehab assignment. He's been out since late April with a back injury but isn't far off from rejoining Toronto's bullpen.

Resumes throwing Cimber (back) threw in the outfield before Friday's game against Seattle, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact This is the first time Cimber has thrown since landing on the injured list with an upper-back strain. There is still no official return date in place for the 32-year-old reliever, but Blue Jays manager John Schneider previously expressed optimism that Cimber won't have an extended stay on the IL.

Shelved with upper-back strain The Blue Jays placed Cimber on the 15-day injured list Monday with a right rhomboid strain.

Impact Right-hander Nate Pearson was summoned from Triple-A Buffalo to replace Cimber on the 26-man active roster and in the Toronto bullpen. Cimber opened the season with four scoreless innings and scooped up a save across his first four appearances, but he's logged a 7.50 ERA and 1.67 WHIP over his subsequent seven relief outings.

Picks up rare save Cimber struck out one and did not allow a baserunner in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Thursday against the Royals.

Impact Cimber took advantage of a rare save chance, as Jordan Romano was unavailable after pitching in each of the last two days. He had little trouble protecting a three-run lead, inducing two groundball outs before striking out M.J. Melendez to end the game. Cimber has turned in four scoreless innings to begin the season, though he has walked two and also hit a batter.

Looks good Monday Cimber tossed a scoreless seventh inning in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.

Impact The groundball specialist hasn't seen much game action this spring, working 3.1 innings over four appearances, but Cimber looked ready for Opening Day on Monday and needed only 10 pitches (eight strikes) to retire the side. After recording career highs with four saves, 10 wins and 20 holds in 2022, the 32-year-old right-hander will serve in a high-leverage role once again with Toronto, but his lack of strikeouts limits his fantasy ceiling in some formats.

MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Settles with Toronto Cimber signed a one-year, $3.15 million contract with Toronto on Friday to avoid arbitration, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact In his first full season with the Blue Jays, Cimber put up a 2.80 ERA and 1.12 WHIP through 70.2 innings out of the bullpen, earning 20 holds and four saves in the process. His impressive stats were more than enough to warrant a healthy raise for the 32-year-old righty, who will most likely serve as a setup man in 2023.
