Zimmermann (shoulder) will start Sunday's regular-season finale against the Marlins. The Nats were thinking about pushing Zimmermann's next start back, after he was drilled in the shoulder by a Casey McGehee line drive last weekend, but Wednesday's rainout made it a no-brainer. Not only does pushing Zimmermann back give him a few extra days to let his bruising diminish, it also lines him up to start Game 2 of the NLDS next Saturday (Oct. 4).
