Out of the lineup for the second time in three days, this time for a huge matchup against the New York Mets, Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman has a new injury he is dealing with. Zimmerman has soreness in his left oblique after hurting the muscle during a swing in Monday’s loss.
Zimmerman missed Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Braves with a sore left foot. It was related to his plantar fasciitis, an injury that he returned from on July 28 after missing over six weeks.
Manager Matt Williams described Zimmerman’s status as day-to-day.
“We’re trying to calm that down as much as we can today.
