While speaking to reporters, General Manager Al Avila said Zimmermann will likely be out day-to-day and it appears he won't go on the disabled list.

According to Avila, he will likely miss one start.

With a 7-2 record, Zimmermann has the second most wins in the American League for starting pitchers. His 2.52 ERA is also the best among Tigers starting pitchers.
