9 Days Washington Nationals Comment

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.

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.

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.

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 two 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.

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.

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.
