Zimmerman (foot) was activated off the 10-day injured list Sunday and will start at first base and bat sixth against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman completed an eight-game rehab stint earlier this week to clear the way for his return to the majors after missing the last six weeks due to plantar fasciitis. The 34-year-old has struggled with a .246/.311/.390 slash line in 33 games this season and won't be asked to play a full-time role in September. According to Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports, manager Dave Martinez said he expects Zimmerman to start against left-handed pitching and serve as a late-inning defensive replacement for Matt Adams, who should retain the large side of a platoon at first base.
