Fantasy Impact

Jordan Zimmermann will open the Tigers' series against the White Sox on Thursday after Wednesday's scheduled game against the Royals was postponed, according to Anthony Fenech.

Fantasy Impact

The Tigers have lost several games already due to inclement weather. Zimmermann, who wasn't a particularly attractive fantasy start anyway, is even less so now pitching in Guaranteed Rate Field.

Jordan Zimmermann pitched six solid innings during his Opening Day start. In addition to allowing four runs, Zimmermann gave up six hits.

Fantasy Impact

Overall, Zimmermann looked great during his six innings if you don’t count the fourth inning. Zimmermann should be a decent back-end-of-the-rotation starter this year in deeper leagues.

Jordan Zimmermann was named Opening Day starter for the Tigers today. He has been one of the best pitchers for the Tigers during Spring Training (1.07 WHIP in four games).

Fantasy Impact

Labeling Zimmermann the Tigers' ace has to give you confidence that he can be at least a back-end pitcher for your fantasy squad. With the improvements he has shown thus far, he is worth a late-round flyer in deeper leagues.

Jordan Zimmermann pitched 2.2 innings on Saturday in a 7-4 loss to the Rays. He gave up an home run and three runs on three hits.

Fantasy Impact

Zimmermann logged a 8-13 record with 6.08 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP. Both are career lows for the veteran. He should get plenty of work in preparation for the 2018 season.
