Ryan Zimmerman sitting for Washington on Monday

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman is not starting in Monday's series opener against right-hander Dakota Hudson and the St. Louis Cardinals.

What It Means:

Zimmerman is being replaced on first base by Howie Kendrick. The almost 35-year-old veteran has gone hitless in four of his last five games.

Zimmerman is averaging 8.7 FanDuel points in 42 games for the Nationals this season.
