The Milwaukee Brewers have signed Jordan Zimmermann to a minor league contract with an invitation to Major League camp.

Zimmermann, 34, pitched in just three games for the Detroit Tigers last season due to a forearm injury after going 1-13 with a 6.91 ERA in 2019.

He described his injury as a "forearm flexor thing" and returned to make three September appearances last year, going 0-0 with a 7.94 ERA. Zimmermann says he now is as healthy as he's been in a few years.

"If I didn't feel good or I didn't feel healthy, I was probably thinking about retiring," Zimmermann said. "But I started working out, started running, started throwing and doing everything I normally do. The body feels good and the mind is telling me to keep going. I'm going to definitely give it another year, and we'll see what happens after this year."
