2023 Fantasy Outlook
Cimber is one of the softest tossers in the league, averaging just 86.5 mph on his fastball due to his submarine delivery. However, the 32-year-old was sharp for the second straight year, recording a 2.80 ERA (3.46 FIP), 1.12 WHIP and 58:13 K:BB over 70.2 innings. His 77 appearances tied Emmanuel Clase for most in the league, as Toronto featured him often, especially in high-leverage. Cimber posted career-best marks with 10 wins (tied for most among relievers), four saves and 20 holds. He figures to appear in the seventh and eighth innings again in 2023 as part of the bridge to Jordan Romano. Read Past Outlooks

Begins rehab assignment
Cimber (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Cimber didn't perform particularly well in his first rehab appearance, giving up a run on a pair of hits in his lone inning of work, but the Blue Jays will be happy to see him back on the mound after nearly a three-month absence due to a shoulder strain. The length of his absence likely means his rehab assignment won't be a short one.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
2019
Cimber enjoyed his best season to date, logging a career-best 2.26 ERA and 1.07 WHIP over a career-high 71.2 innings between Miami and Toronto. The submariner's mid-80s fastball and slider combination forced plenty of weak contact, as his 3.8% barrel percentage was in the 96th percentile and his 0.3 HR/9 was third-best in the league among qualified relievers. He induced plenty of grounders (53.8% GB%) and kept free passes to a minimum with a 5.6% walk rate. Cimber began the year in a middle relief role for Miami, but once he was traded to Toronto he began to get more high-leverage work. His 2022 role depends on whether or not the Blue Jays address their bullpen in free agency. He's unlikely to close as he has just two career saves on his resume, but should settle in somewhere between the sixth and eighth innings for Toronto.
