Zimmerman (foot) is expected to be activated off the 10-day injured list Sunday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman completed an eight-game rehab assignment earlier this week and will work out at the team's facility Friday and Saturday before being activated when rosters expand Sunday. The 34-year-old has been limited to 33 games this season and has a .246/.311/.390 slash line with three home runs in 132 plate appearances.

Zimmerman (foot) could return from the injured list ahead of Friday's series opener against the Marlins, Byron Kerr of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman has been sidelined since mid-July due to plantar fasciitis, but he's appeared in seven rehab games over the past two weeks and appears to be on the cusp of a return. The veteran first baseman is slated to play nine innings with High-A Potomac on Wednesday, and if he checks out OK during a scheduled off day Thursday, it sounds like he'll rejoin the Nationals over the weekend.

Zimmerman (foot) is nearing a return from the 10-day injured list, Byron Kerr of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman had two hits and a walk with High-A Potomac on Sunday and is now 6-for-16 (.375 average) with three RBI and five walks in six rehab games between High-A and Double-A. Kerr's report suggests "one scenario" has Zimmerman being activated as soon as Tuesday for the start of a two-game set with the Orioles to kick off the Nationals' homestand. If not Tuesday, Zimmerman should be back later this week after another battle with plantar fasciitis, and chances are he will be the primary option at first base again upon his return.

Zimmerman (foot) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg on Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Dave Martinez said last week that Zimmerman would be activated "soon," but the tail end of his recovery apparently didn't move as quickly as expected. The 34-year-old has been sidelined due to plantar fasciitis since July 21 and should be ready to rejoin the Nationals after a handful of games in the minors.

Zimmerman (foot) is going to be activated "soon", according to manager Dave Martinez, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

He is running at 75-80 percent, and has been hitting and taking groundballs. Once he can run without restrictions, he will either head out on a brief rehab assignment or just join the big-league club right away.

Zimmerman (foot) jogged around the bases prior to Monday's game against the Giants, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman has been on the injured list since July 22 due to plantar fasciitis, though it's good to see him taking part in some running, even if it's not at full speed just yet. The Nationals have yet to provide a timetable for the first baseman's return.

Zimmerman (foot) took 15-to-20 swings Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

This marks the first time Zimmerman took swings since landing back on the injured list July 22 with a recurrence of plantar fasciitis. While the veteran first baseman is trending in the right direction, an updated timetable for his return likely won't emerge until he's cleared to resume running.

Zimmerman was placed on the 10-day injured list with plantar fasciitis on Monday, Byron Kerr of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move is no surprise after the veteran left Sunday's game against the Braves with a recurrence of the injury that cost him two months earlier in the season. He also battled the problem back in 2015. The Nationals have yet to give a target date for his return, but given his history with the injury, it's unlikely to be a short absence. Matt Adams will be the primary first baseman in his absence.

Zimmerman (foot) is not starting Monday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman wasn't expected to play after leaving Sunday's game against the Braves with a recurrence of the plantar fasciitis which cost him two months earlier in the season. The results of his MRI are not yet known, and he's yet to be placed on the injured list, but it certainly wouldn't be a surprise to see a move coming soon. Matt Adams starts at first base in his absence.

Zimmerman (foot) will undergo an MRI on Monday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman missed around two months earlier this season with the same issue, though the Nationals won't know the extent of his injury until the results of his MRI return. Matt Adams and Howie Kendrick would see more playing time at first base if Zimmerman is forced to miss an extended period of time.
