Nationals' Ryan Zimmerman: Returns to lineup following DL stint
Zimmerman is back in the starting lineup Tuesday against Cleveland, Dan Kolko of MASN reports.
Analysis:
Zimmerman is making his first start since returning from a rib cage injury that sidelined him since July 7. The 31-year-old will regain his normal position at first base and bat seventh against Danny Salazar and the Indians. Zimmerman will look to rebound in the second half so long as he stays healthy, as he's posted career-lows in BA (.221), OBP (.284) and SLG (.402) this season.
