Manager Dave Martinez said Zimmerman's heel is "bothering him a little bit," Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman apparently injured his heel while making a leaping catch during Tuesday's game. Martinez downplayed the severity of the issue, noting that the veteran would have been withheld from Wednesday's lineup regardless. Zimmerman should be considered day-to-day; he'll benefit from an off day Thursday before the Nationals kick off a three-game series with the Padres.

Zimmerman is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman will head to the bench after starting the past three games, going 5-for-11 with a pair of homers and a double in those appearances. Matt Adams will get the start at first base against righty German Marquez.

Zimmerman went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

With a max exit velocity of 98, Zimmerman didn't crush either pitch, but it was enough to leave the yard. The right-hander came into the day with only one home run and a .192 AVG, so the big day was a welcome sight. Zimmerman now has a slash line of .214/.318/.411 this season.

Zimmerman is on the bench Saturday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

After starting nine of the first 10 games of the season, Zimmerman has sat for four of the last nine, with Matt Adams filling in for him on each occasion. Zimmerman's .182/.292/.273 season line is likely related to his downturn in playing time.

Zimmerman is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman will give way to Matt Adams at first base in this one after starting three of the past four games. The veteran is off to a bit of a slow start to the season, hitting just .188/.298/.271 with a homer and eight RBI through 14 games.

Zimmerman is not in the lineup Saturday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman started nine of the first 10 games of the season but has now been on the bench for two out of the last three, with Matt Adams starting on each occasion. The veteran is hitting just .205, so he could be at risk for more frequent off days, though his plate discipline has been quite good, as he's walked eight times while recording just six strikeouts.

Zimmerman is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman will take a seat for Wednesday's series finale following a string of six consecutive starts. In his place, Matt Adams is starting at first base and hitting fifth. Through 10 games this season, Zimmerman is 8-for-35 (.229) with a homer, eight RBI and a 7:6 BB:K.

Zimmerman went 1-for-3 with two walks and a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

He took Aaron Nola deep in the first inning for his first blast of the season. Zimmerman is just 4-for-18 to begin the season, but his spot in the heart of the Nats' batting order has been paying off -- he has five RBI in five games.

Zimmerman will be on the bench Tuesday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman started each of the Nationals' first three games, going 2-for-12 at the plate. Matt Adams will take over at first base Tuesday.

Zimmerman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Thursday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Zimmerman homered off Chris Beck, so it wasn't the stiffest of competition. It was his second home run of the spring, but perhaps most importantly, there has been no news of injury flareups for the often sidelined Zimmerman. Assuming he remains healthy, Zimmerman should serve as the team's primary first baseman in the regular season and is projected to slot into the fifth spot in the lineup.
