As we noted last week, Washington Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo talked at length during last week’s visit with 106.7 the FAN in D.C.’s Sports Junkies about the plan for Ryan Zimmerman as the 34-year-old infielder works his way back from a partial plantar fascia rupture that has kept him out of the lineup since July 21st.
Zimmerman returned from a 55-game stint on the Injured List for plantar fasciitis back on June 28th, for an eleven-game stretch in which he was 13 for 43 (.302/.326/.419) with five doubles before he went down with the rupture.
