Zimmerman is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Jorge Castillo of the Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman is off to an absolutely scorching hot start to begin the 2017 season, but will head to the bench Sunday for Sunday's series finale against Jeremy Hellickson and the Phillies. Adam Lind will man first base in the starter's absence. Expect Zimmerman and his 13 homers and 34 RBI to slot back in to the heart of the Nationals' lineup Monday against the Orioles.
