Bruce Zimmermann - Rehab moved to Triple-AZimmermann's (ankle) rehab assignment was transferred to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.
ImpactThe left-hander began his rehab stint with a start at Double-A Bowie on Saturday. He allowed three runs on five hits across 2.1 innings and will now make his next appearance with Norfolk, presumably later this week. If it ends up being his last outing in the minors, Zimmermann could be activated for the final week of the season, quite possibly to serve as a long reliever.

Mickey Jannis - Moves back to Triple-AJannis was promoted from Double-A Bowie to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.
ImpactJannis was demoted to Bowie in mid-August, and things haven't improved much for him since, as he's allowed 26 earned runs on 42 hits across 29 Double-A innings. Despite those struggles, he'll return to Norfolk and could remain there for the remainder of the season.

DJ Stewart - Placed on 60-day ILStewart was placed on the 60-day injured list with right knee osteochondral defect Tuesday.
ImpactManager Brandon Hyde said Tuesday that Stewart has been dealing with a sore knee throughout the second half of the season, and he'll undergo a procedure in the coming weeks to aid in his recovery. However, the 27-year-old is expected to be ready for spring training in 2022. He appeared in a career-high 100 games this year and hit .204 with 12 homers, 39 runs and 33 RBI.

César Valdez - Contract selected by OriolesValdez's contract was selected from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.
ImpactValdez was outrighted to Norfolk in late August, and he posted a 1.42 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 12.2 innings across nine relief appearances in the minors since then. The right-hander has eight saves in the majors this year, but he recorded a 6.65 ERA and 1.75 WHIP in 21.2 innings across his last 15 appearances prior to being sent to Norfolk, so he'll likely pitch mainly in low-leverage situations late in the season.
