Zimmerman "won't be 100 percent until next year" but still expects to start a good portion of games the rest of the season, Mark Zuckerman of CSN Washington reports. Zimmerman participated in some instructional league games earlier in the week, and was activated as expected on Saturday. Zimmerman should provide the Nationals with another good bat despite not being 100 percent, and could see time at third base, first base and left field over the remainder of the regular season and into the playoffs.
