Zimmerman (foot) was limited to hitting in the cage Thursday after the Nationals elected to temporarily suspend his running program, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman resumed running a few days ago but indicated he was still experiencing the effects of plantar fasciitis in his right foot. The Nationals don't seem to be viewing it as a major setback and appear optimistic that Zimmerman will be ready to run again after a few days off, but the development nonetheless pushes back his timeline for a return. Zimmerman has been sidelined since April 27 with the foot injury and will likely require a minor-league rehab assignment before being reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

Zimmerman (foot) did some running Sunday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Everything went well during Zimmerman's return to running, with the veteran noting that he wasn't as sore as he'd thought he'd be afterward. Zimmerman is expected to go through baseball activities Monday, after which a more concrete timetable for his return should emerge. According to Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic, if the veteran first baseman progresses without any setbacks this week, he could be back as soon as this weekend (the Nationals begin a three-game series with the Marlins at home Friday).

Zimmerman (foot) is close to running on the field, the last step prior to returning to the team, Byron Kerr of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman took batting practice with the Nationals on Sunday and looks poised to reach another milestone in his recovery in the coming days. If he experiences no issues with his foot once he starts running again, Zimmerman may only need a brief rehab assignment before returning from the 10-day injured list.

Zimmerman (foot) was spotted taking batting practice on the field Friday, Byron Kerr of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

As promised, Zimmerman has resumed baseball activities this week. He's been on the injured list since the end of April due to plantar fasciitis but continues to trend in the right direction. Zimmerman's next step should be to face live pitching.

Zimmerman (foot) will resume baseball activities within the next two days, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman remained in Washington for the Nationals' 10-game road trip and reportedly made some progress in his return from plantar fasciitis, but that progress evidently didn't include any baseball activities. He remains without a clear return timeline. Howie Kendrick and Gerardo Parra have been serving as the team's first basemen with Matt Adams (shoulder) also sidelined.

Zimmerman (foot) will remain in Washington during the Nationals' 10-game road trip for rehab, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman has no clear timeline to recover from his plantar fasciitis. He missed seven weeks due to the issue back in 2015 but has said that he doesn't expect to miss the same amount of time this year. Remaining home during the Nationals' road trip means he won't return before May 14.

Zimmerman said he's been dealing with plantar fasciitis in his right foot for "a couple weeks," Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman said the issue got worse after he made a catch against the Rockies last week, resulting in his placement on the 10-day IL over the weekend. The veteran first baseman doesn't have a timeline for his recovery; he missed seven weeks due to a similar issue in 2015, though he's confident it's not as bad this time around. Look for Matt Adams to fill in at first base while Zimmerman is out.

Zimmerman was placed on the 10-day injured list with plantar fasciitis in his right foot, Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman injured his foot while making a catch Tuesday against the Rockies, Mark Zuckerman of MASN sports reports. He played through the injury for a few games but it got worse, so he'll now get at least 10 days to rest. Matt Adams should fill a regular role at first base in his absence. Erick Fedde was called up to take Zimmerman's place on the roster.

ZImmerman will sit Sunday against San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran is hitting just .213/.302/.373 on the season, though he does have six hits (including two homers) in his last five games. Matt Adams gets the call at first base in his absence.

Zimmerman (heel) is back in the lineup Friday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman missed Wednesday's against the Rockies due to a minor heel issue. He's back after Thursday's scheduled day off, batting fifth and playing first base.
