Ryan Zimmerman - 3B - Nationals

Ryan Zimmerman went 3-for-4 with three home runs on Wednesday, but the Nationals fell to the Orioles.

Zimmerman punished three Chris Tillman pitches to stake the Nationals to an early lead, but his effort was for naught. The homers gave him six on the year to go with 28 RBI. He's got a modest six-game hitting streak, raising his average to .298 in the process.

May 29 - 10:07 PM

Ryan Zimmerman - 3B - Nationals

Ryan Zimmerman went 2-for-4 with an RBI in the Nationals' loss to the Orioles on Monday afternoon.

Zimmerman was the only member of the Nationals with more than one hit. He's been hitting well since returning from the disabled list in early May and now boasts a .278/.370/.414 slash line in 37 total games.

May 27 - 4:20 PM

Ryan Zimmerman - 3B - Nationals

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.

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.

Depth Charts

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Kurt Suzuki
	2	Wilson Ramos D.L. The recent setback suffered by Wilson Ramos (hamstring) was minor, and is only expected to sideline him a few extra days. Manager Davey Johnson initially suggested it could add weeks to his timetable, but that appeared to be a very cautious estimate. Ramos, who has been plagued with recurring hamstring injuries, is hoping to return around the All-Star break. Jun 14
	3	Jhonatan Solano
1B	1	Adam LaRoche
	2	Chad Tracy
	3	Chris Marrero
2B	1	Danny Espinosa D.L. Danny Espinosa (wrist) could stay in the minors once his 20-day rehab window expires. Espinosa's wrist is feeling better, but it hasn't shown in his performance thus far in Triple-A, as he's hitting just .118 (2-for-17) with 10 strikeouts over his first six games. Anthony Rendon is playing well during his absence, so there's no reason to make a change if Espinosa continues to struggle during his rehab stint. Jun 19

	3	Steve Lombardozzi
	4	Jeff Kobernus
SS	1	Ian Desmond
3B	1	Ryan Zimmerman
LF	1	Bryce Harper D.L. Bryce Harper (knee) has been cleared to resume strengthening activities. Harper experienced "a little puffiness" in his left knee while doing range of motion exercises on Saturday, but that wasn't a cause for alarm. The 20-year-old will now progress from walking and jogging to running and other baseball activities. It's not clear how long the process will take, but if he keeps improving, it could happen quickly. A return before the end of the month appears realistic. Jun 17

	5	Ryan Mattheus D.L. Ryan Mattheus is expected to be sidelined 4-6 weeks with a fractured right hand. Mattheus won't require surgery, but since the injury is to his pitching hand he can't do a whole lot while out. He'll have to build his arm strength back up once out of his cast. May 24
	6	Christian Garcia D.L. Christian Garcia (shoulder, forearm) has been shut down from his rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse. Garcia has been dealing with shoulder issues and is expected to receive treatment and be rested as a precautionary measure. The Nationals want Garcia to make four or five straight rehab outings without any problems before returning from the disabled list. Garcia has yet to pitch at the major league level this season due to a partial tendon tear in his forearm. He has a 2.57 ERA and eight strikeouts in seven innings over his first five rehab appearances. Jun 15
