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

Looks good Monday
Cimber tossed a scoreless seventh inning in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.
ANALYSIS
The groundball specialist hasn't seen much game action this spring, working 3.1 innings over four appearances, but Cimber looked ready for Opening Day on Monday and needed only 10 pitches (eight strikes) to retire the side. After recording career highs with four saves, 10 wins and 20 holds in 2022, the 32-year-old right-hander will serve in a high-leverage role once again with Toronto, but his lack of strikeouts limits his fantasy ceiling in some formats.

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.
