Jordan Zimmermann: Cut by Brewers

Zimmermann was released by the Brewers on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The 34-year-old was unable to secure a spot on the Opening Day roster, though the Brewers are still hoping to re-sign the veteran to a minor-league deal. Zimmermann was due a $100,000 retention bonus Saturday, so the release and potential re-signing would save some money for Milwaukee.
