This was reported by Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Bruce Zimmerman joined the Brewers on a lower league contract. This deal includes an invitation to huge league camp.

Over 158.1 career huge league innings spanning the 2020-2023 seasons, Bruce Zimmerman has a career 5.57 ERA. A pliable left side toss generates a lot of ground balls and hits the strike zone. Given the high volume of balls in play, he could benefit from Milwaukee’s excellent infield defense if his services were needed in the huge leagues.
