Ryan Zimmerman

Ryan Zimmerman on Nationals' bench Wednesday afternoon

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Trevor Rogers and the Miami Marlins.

What It Means:

Zimmerman homered for the second time in three games on Tuesday, but it was just his second start of the month. Josh Bell is on first base Wednesday afternoon while Yadiel Hernandez is returning to the lineup to play left field and hit sixth.

numberFire’s models project Hernandez for 10.6 FanDuel points and he has a $2,400 salary on Wednesday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Nationals have an implied total of 4.3 runs. Rogers is registering a 28.2 strikeout percentage and an 8.8 walk percentage this season, with a 3.49 xERA and a .286 xwOBA.
