Nationals | Ryan Zimmerman takes BP

Washington Nationals 3B Ryan Zimmerman (shoulder) took batting practice on the field Friday, Feb. 22. "I don't obviously just jump out there and go right into it, but it feels good," Zimmerman said. "No surprises. Just got to continue getting the throwing going, and as soon as that's ready, obviously the hitting will be ready before that." He is now up to throwing from 90 feet and is putting more oomph on the ball lately. The team will keep Zimmerman from fielding the first two weeks of spring, and he's set to serve as the designated hitter for a few starts.
