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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Recalled from Triple-A Zimmermann was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.
Impact Zimmermann will return to provide length for what is essentially a bullpen game Sunday, headed up by Adam Plutko. The long ball has been a problem for Zimmermann at the highest level; he has given up nine homers in 37 big-league innings. The lefty has a 5.40 ERA and 1.63 WHIP for the Orioles this season.
MAY 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Optioned by Baltimore Zimmermann was optioned to the Orioles' alternate training site Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Zimmermann will head to the minors after failing to work five innings for the third consecutive start. He surrendered 11 runs (10 earned) and walked five while fanning 11 across 13 innings during that stretch. Isaac Mattson was recalled in a corresponding move.
MAY 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Lasts just 4.2 innings Zimmermann didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Athletics. He gave up four runs (three earned) on seven hits and two walks while fanning four across 4.2 innings.
Impact Zimmermann couldn't even get out of the fifth inning, though that has been the case in each of his last three starts now. The left-hander has allowed at least three earned runs in all but one of his outings to date and it's safe to say things haven't gone as good as he would've hoped to begin the year. He owns a 5.40 ERA across 30 innings of work so far, and he will for a better performance in his upcoming start -- scheduled for next week at home against the Red Sox.

Impact Zimmermann gave up homers to Aaron Judge and Kyle Higashioka and couldn't even finish the fourth inning -- the Orioles were losing 4-0 when he departed the game. The left-hander has lost his last three starts and has allowed three or more earned runs in four of his first outings this season. He will try to bounce back in his next start, scheduled for Sunday on the road against the Athletics.
