Ryan Zimmerman Not Likely To Come Off Disabled List This Week

Read More: Ryan Zimmerman (3B – WAS), Washington Nationals

An update on Washington Nationals star third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, from the Washington Times:

While no one has said anything official regarding Zimmerman’s availability to come off the disabled list on Monday, all signs point to him not being ready to return to the active lineup on Tuesday when the Mets visit Washington, D.C.

Zimmerman hurt his side on a head-first slide in an April 9 game against the New York Mets. While the Nationals were hopeful that Zimmerman would be ready to come off the disabled list when he was eligible on Monday, it seems as if he’s not quite ready. Washington still wants to let Zimmerman resume baseball-related activities before letting him start a minor league rehab assignment, and as Times reporter Amanda Comak points out, he hasn’t started anything like that.

In Zimmerman’s absence, the Nationals have turned to Alex Cora and Jerry Hairston at third, and both are hitting .317 this season. Wait, that’s combined — Cora is hitting .150, and Hairston is hitting .167 — so Zimmerman’s return can’t come soon enough for Washington.

There is the quick update of the day.

Washington, DC (Sports Network) – Washington Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman is expected to go on the disabled list on Tuesday, according to a report on MLB.com.

Zimmerman first suffered an abdominal strain in spring training, but played in Washington’s first eight regular season games and batted .357 with one home run, five runs scored and four driven in.

The Nationals’ franchise player aggravated the injury on Saturday and was forced to sit out Sunday’s win over the Mets.

Zimmerman has played at least 142 games in four of the past five seasons. Last year he hit .307 with 25 home runs and 85 RBI.
