DETROIT — Detroit Tigers pitcher Jordan Zimmermann is going on the 45-day injured list because of a strained right forearm.
Manager Ron Gardenhire says the right-hander doesn’t need surgery and could return at the end of this abbreviated season.
But this move obviously means he won’t be pitching much this year, if at all.
This is the final year of Zimmermann’s contract with Detroit. He went 1-13 with a 6.91 ERA last year and has struggled to stay healthy in four seasons with Detroit.
