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 this week.

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.

Nationals placed 3B Ryan Zimmerman on the disabled list with a left hamstring injury on Saturday.

Zimmerman had an MRI taken on 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.

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 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.
