Ryan Zimmerman

Ryan Zimmerman sitting out Friday for Nationals

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman is not in the lineup on Friday against the New York Mets.

What It Means:

The Nats are giving most of their starters the night off Friday, so Adam Lind is taking over first base for Zimmerman and hitting cleanup against right-hander Rob Gsellman.

Our models project Zimmerman for a .273 batting average, with 2 home runs, 5 RBI, and 5 runs scored over 37 plate appearances remaining this season.
