6 years agoDetroit Tigers outfield prospect Christin Stewart (abdomen) and starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann (abdomen) underwent core muscle surgery in Philadelphia on Thursday. According to Dr. Robert Meyers, both surgeries were a success and both players are expected to be ready for spring training in 2019. Stewart has plenty of upside and should compete for a starting role last year after hitting .267/.375/.417 with two homers and 10 RBI in 17 games to finish off the season. He had 25 homers and 80 RBI in 125 games at three minor league levels. Zimmermann had his moments but was mostly underwhelming with a 4.52 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 7.6 K/9 over 25 starts. The veteran right-hander will strictly be a streaming option in AL-only leagues in 2019.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
