Each week this season, we’ll take the temperature of the Nationals roster to see whose stock is rising or falling.

Team slash: .269/.336/.406
Team ERA: 2.29
Runs per game: 4.6
STOCK UP
Jordan Zimmermann, SP: 1-0/ 15.2 IP/ 0.00 ERA
For this edition of Stock Watch, we probably should have just put ‘the starting rotation’ in this section, but we’ll still single people out. Zimmermann was battling a brief bout of inconsistency — he allowed 13 earned runs in his three starts prior to last week — before he posted back-to-back stellar outings.
