Zimmerman, 35, was the first draft selection ever made by the Nationals after the franchise relocated from Montreal; the first baseman was the fourth overall pick in the 2005 draft. Zimmerman wound up making his debut for the Nats the following September.
The two-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger has transitioned to a bench role late in his career and hit .257/.321/.415 with six homers and nine doubles last year over 52 games.
