Ryan Zimmerman drove in three runs in the Nationals' defeat of the Dodgers on Saturday in Los Angeles.

It's been a disappointing campaign for Zimmerman thus far, but he's displayed signs of an upcoming outbreak. Since returning from the disabled list (with a .226/.311/.358 batting line) on May 3, he's gone a respectable 9-for-32 (.281) over nine games with a pair of doubles, a triple, seven runs, five RBI, and two stolen bases. Zimmerman has only swatted one homer and slugged .376 so far, but the power will return eventually. May 14 - 3:39 AM

Ryan Zimmerman - 3B - Nationals

Ryan Zimmerman scored three runs in the Nationals' defeat of the Pirates on Saturday in Pittsburgh.

Zimmerman tripled and drew two walks, showing no lingering effects of his left hamstring strain during his busy day on the bases. He should catch fire very soon.

May 4 - 7:11 PM

Ryan Zimmerman - 3B - Nationals

Nationals activated 3B Ryan Zimmerman from the 15-day disabled list.

Zimmerman played just one rehab game, but it was enough to convince the Nationals that his hamstring was no longer an issue. He'll return to a .226/.311/.358 batting line with one homer and 11 RBI. Anthony Rendon has been sent down to clear room on the roster.

May 3 - 2:26 PM

Ryan Zimmerman - 3B - Nationals

Ryan Zimmerman (hamstring) said after Wednesday's rehab game with High-A Potomac that he will be activated from the disabled list on Friday.

One of Zimmerman's rehab games was rained out, but he'll be activated Friday on schedule regardless. The third baseman was hitless in three at-bats Wednesday, but, more importantly, his hamstring wasn't an issue.

May 1 - 9:40 PM

Ryan Zimmerman - 3B - Nationals

Ryan Zimmerman's (hamstring) rehab game with High-A Potomac on Tuesday was postponed due to rain.

He'll begin the rehab assignment on Wednesday instead. Assuming things go well Wednesday, Zimmerman should still be activated on Friday following Thursday's off day.

Apr 30 - 6:36 PM

Ryan Zimmerman - 3B - Nationals

Ryan Zimmerman (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Tuesday with High-A Potomac.

Zimmerman is slated to play on Tuesday and Wednesday, setting him up to be activated for Friday's series opener against the Pirates. The 28-year-old has been sidelined since April 17 with a strained left hamstring. Anthony Rendon will likely be sent down to the minors once he's ready to return.

Apr 30 - 11:27 AM

Ryan Zimmerman - 3B - Nationals

Ryan Zimmerman (hamstring) has been cleared to start a rehab assignment Monday.

Assuming he avoids setbacks, Zimmerman should rejoin the Nationals for Friday's game against the Pirates. It's the first day he's eligible to return. Steve Lombardozzi and Anthony Rendon will continue to share playing time at third base in his absence, with Rendon expected to be sent down to the minors later next week.

Apr 27 - 11:38 AM

Ryan Zimmerman - 3B - Nationals

Nationals manager Davey Johnson said Thursday that Ryan Zimmerman (hamstring) is currently 2-3 days behind Wilson Ramos' schedule.

Ramos could return from his hamstring injury as soon as Monday, so this means Zimmerman is on track to return late next week. It's not clear if he'll go out on a brief minor league rehab assignment. Steve Lombardozzi and Anthony Rendon will likely share playing time at third base until he's activated.

Apr 25 - 4:40 PM

Ryan Zimmerman - 3B - Nationals

Nationals placed 3B Ryan Zimmerman on the 15-day disabled list with a left hamstring strain.

Zimmerman had an MRI taken of his hamstring on Saturday, and the Nationals obviously didn't like what they saw. The extent of the injury is still unknown, but it was at least serious enough that the team decided to sit him down for two weeks. Anthony Rendon was recalled from Double-A Harrisburg to take his roster spot, and Zimmerman owners should run out and grab the top prospect in Zim's stead.

Apr 20 - 6:50 PM

Ryan Zimmerman - 3B - Nationals

Ryan Zimmerman is scheduled for an MRI on his left hamstring Saturday.

The severity of Zimmerman's injury will be determined by the results of the MRI. For now, the Nationals are hoping that he'll avoid the disabled list. Zimmerman hasn't played since leaving Wednesday's game and remains day-to-day. Chad Tracy would likely see regular playing time at third base if Zimmerman were to miss extended time.

Apr 20 - 1:23 PM

Ryan Zimmerman - 3B - Nationals

Ryan Zimmerman (hamstring) is not in the Nationals' lineup Saturday.

Zimmerman hasn't played since leaving Wednesday's game and remains day-to-day. The Nationals will continue to go with Chad Tracy at third base. Danny Espinosa (wrist) has finally returned to the lineup after missing the last five games.

Apr 20 - 12:39 PM

Ryan Zimmerman - 3B - Nationals

Ryan Zimmerman (hamstring) is not in Friday's lineup against the Mets.

Zimmerman left Wednesday's game with a left hamstring cramp and doesn't want to take any chances this early in the season. He should be considered day-to-day. Chad Tracy will fill in at the hot corner Friday.

Apr 19 - 4:35 PM

Ryan Zimmerman - 3B - Nationals

Ryan Zimmerman left Wednesday's game in the seventh inning after his left hamstring tightened up on him.

Zimmerman has been dealing with the ailment for a few days, but Wednesday was the first time he missed any action. Nationals manager Davey Johnson said the third baseman's removal was precautionary, though, and he expects Zimmerman to play Friday after Thursday's off day.

Apr 17 - 10:23 PM

Ryan Zimmerman - 3B - Nationals

Ryan Zimmerman is dealing with a cramp in his left hamstring.

The ailment first cropped up a couple days ago. He was able to play a full game Monday, so it's obviously not a big concern right now, but Zimmerman has been instructed to take things slowly on the basepaths. It sounds like he'll continue to play through the injury.

Apr 15 - 10:21 PM

Ryan Zimmerman - 3B - Nationals

Ryan Zimmerman had a two-run homer and a two-run single Monday versus the Marlins.

The homer off John Maine was his first of the year. He has 11 RBI, yet just three runs scored, in 13 games.

	2	Wilson Ramos D.L. Nationals placed C Wilson Ramos on the 15-day disabled list with a left hamstring strain. Ramos missed a couple weeks last month with the same injury. He doesn't think the strain is too bad, but it's possible the Nats will play it safe and hold him out longer this time around. May 16

RF	1	Jayson Werth D.L. Jayson Werth (hamstring) will not be ready for activation from the disabled list on Friday and could be sidelined for as much as two more weeks. Nationals manager Davey Johnson said he received an "alarming" report on Werth Monday, which obviously doesn't sound good. The outfielder experienced a setback with his hamstring during a rehab game last week and has yet to return to game action. He was slated to see a specialist over the weekend and evidently didn't receive good news. Roger Bernadina and Tyler Moore will continue to be the primary fill-ins for Werth. May 20

	5	Ross Detwiler Sidelined Ross Detwiler reported improvement with his back Monday and hopes to be ready to make his next start. Detwiler is hoping he'll be ready to play catch on Monday before throwing from a mound later in the week. With an off day on Thursday, the Nationals can delay Detwiler's next turn a few days. Zach Duke is making a spot start in his place on Monday. May 20

	5	Ryan Mattheus D.L. Nationals placed RHP Ryan Mattheus on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 20, with a fractured right hand. Mattheus suffered the injury Sunday after he gave up five runs on four hits and two walks over one inning against the Padres and punched his locker in frustration. No word yet on how long he'll be sidelined, but he's obviously facing an extended absence. The Nationals are calling up Yunesky Maya and Fernando Abad for some bullpen insurance. May 21
	6	Henry Rodriguez
	7	Christian Garcia D.L. Christian Garcia (forearm) has been throwing from a mound and will begin incorporating curveballs on Thursday. He'll then throw live batting practice after that before heading out on a rehab assignment, though it's not clear when he'll be ready for that. The Nats were planning on stretching Garcia out as a starter prior to his forearm injury, and they still might, but it depends on what the big club needs by the time the righty is healthy. May 8
	8	Zach Duke
	9	Yunesky Maya
	10	Fernando Abad
