The Rockies have released outfielder , the Denver Posts Patrick Saunders reports ( ). Zimmer was in camp on a minor league deal, but became expendable when the Rox acquired another left-handed outfield option in via a trade with the Phillies . While Caves numbers have been shaky at best over the last four seasons, Cave still bring more offensive upside than Zimmer, who has hit .213/.298/.333 over 975 career plate appearances in the bigs from 2017-22. Zimmer was a top-100 prospect Nicktroy Fortune Jersey during his time in Clevelands farm system, but his bat simply hasnt translated against Major League pitching. Now entering his age-32 season, Zimmer has still carved out a niche for himself as a backup outfielder and pinch-runner due to his excellent speed (42 steals in 50 career chances) and all-fields defense. This skillset gives Zimmer a pretty decent chance of catching on with another team in need of extra defensive help, whether as upper minors depth or on the bench of a big league roster. Zimmer last appeared in the majors in 2022 as a member of the Blue Jays, and he spent last season playing with the Triple-A affiliates of the Dodgers and Red Sox. Justin Brummett Jersey
