Nationals' Ryan Zimmerman: Placed on disabled list

The Nationals placed Zimmerman on the 15-day disabled list Friday with a left rib cage strain, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

The nature of Zimmerman's injury is unclear, and further details have not been released, so it remains to be seen how long he will be sidelined. He will benefit from the upcoming All-Star break, but he will be sidelined at least until July 22. With Trea Turner being called up Friday, the Nationals will likely get creative with their infield assignments during Zimmerman's absence.
