Jordan Zimmermann will not make his scheduled start for the Detroit Tigers on Thursday against the Minnesota Twins.

Instead, Zimmermann will pitch a simulated game on Wednesday.

He has served two stints of a month or more on the disabled list since July with a neck injury. Against the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday, Zimmermann allowed six runs on four hits with three walks in a single inning pitched (plus four batters in the second).

"I feel good. I feel like I'm back to my old self. I just wasn't able to locate pitches and it's pretty embarrassing going one-plus innings and giving up six runs," Zimmermann said.
