Updating a previous report, Washington Nationals 1B Ryan Zimmerman (foot) is hoping to return to game action within the next 10 days. He has been taking batting and fielding practice recently, along with doing soft-tissue exercises, but has been taking it slow when it comes to baserunning. Tip: Zimmerman estimates that he will need 40-50 at-bats during spring training in order to be prepared for the regular season. The 31-year-old has been a major injury risk over the last two years, with just 156 games played since the beginning of the 2014 season, and was sidelined for one month due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot in 2015. He should be viewed as a shaky starting option at first base due to his inability to remain healthy.     shares share tweet sms send email
