Cleveland Indians outfielder Bradley Zimmer (shoulder) underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder on Saturday and is expected to be sidelined for the next 8-12 months. That timeline eliminates him for the rest of the season and likely into 2019 as well. Zimmer has shown promise during his short MLB career, hitting .237 with 10 home runs, 48 RBI and 22 stolen bases over 135 games. He'll now focus on trying to rehab his shoulder and returning to full health. If Zimmer is the same player once he returns from injury is yet to be known.

Cleveland Indians outfielder Bradley Zimmer (shoulder) is having surgery on his right shoulder on Friday, according to manager Terry Francona.

He hit just .226/.281/.330 with two home runs, nine RBI and four steals in 106 at-bats before being sent to the minors, where he suffered the injury.

Cleveland Indians center fielder Bradley Zimmer (ribs) returns to the starting lineup on Saturday. Zimmer was on the disabled list since May 9 and hopefully made a full recovery from his nagging rib injury. Zimmer has been a disappointing fantasy player thus far, although he only has less than a season's worth of plate appearances to be judged on. His fantasy value is expected to derive from his speed but even then he only has 22 steals in 397 career at-bats. He will continue to bat in the bottom of the order and regularly start versus right-handed pitching unless he can make significant strides in his hitting.

He had a four-game rehab stint split between Double-A and Triple-A, which saw him register a .250 average and two steals.

He projects to bat at the bottom of the Indians order.

Cleveland Indians outfielder Bradley Zimmer was placed on the disabled list with a left rib contusion. Zimmer got hurt a week ago while making a play in the outfield, but he was trying to play through it. He'd only made one start since the injury, so he'll head to the 10-day disabled list to allow Cleveland to call up Neil Ramirez. Zimmer has struggled his way to a .224/.283/.337 line, but he should have his job waiting for him when he returns from the disabled list, which could be as soon as he's eligible.
