The St. Louis Cardinals signed left-handed pitcher Bruce Zimmermann to a minor league deal after he was outrighted off the Brewers’ 40-man roster and elected free agency. Zimmermann spent the previous two seasons in the Orioles’ and Brewers’ minor league systems, with a brief MLB appearance in 2025 where he allowed five earned runs over six innings. With a career 5.57 ERA in 158 1/3 MLB innings, he may serve as Triple-A depth for the Cardinals, who are focusing on younger pitchers. If promoted, Zimmermann could face waivers due to his lack of minor league options.
