Ryan Zimmerman News
Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman announced his retirement on Tuesday. Zimmerman spent 16 years in the big leagues, all with the Nationals. He was drafted in the first round in 2005 after the team moved from Montreal to Washington, and he ends his career as the franchise's leader in games played (1,799), runs scored (963), hits (1,846), total bases (3,159), doubles (417), home runs (284) and RBI (1,061). The 37-year-old made two All-Star teams and helped the Nationals win their first World Series title in 2019. Zimmerman finishes his career with a career .277/.341/.475 slash line in 7,402 total plate appearances.
Free-agent first baseman Ryan Zimmerman made a radio appearance Wednesday morning in which he stated, "I still definitely am planning on playing, but we'll see what happens. No decisions either way yet." Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo has made it clear on multiple occasions that the decision to return is entirely up to Zimmerman, and a roster spot will be available if he chooses to continue his career. Zimmerman, 36, has played his entire 16-year career with the franchise. In 2021, he slashed .243/.286/.471 with 14 home runs in 273 plate appearances.
Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman hit a prodigious home run to right-center field against the Miami Marlins Tuesday. It was his 14th homer of the season and his only hit in five at-bats. Zimmerman has slashed .297/.321/.604 against lefty pitching this year, making him a viable play on those days when Washington draws a lefty. It would be hard to roster him in weekly leagues, but in deeper daily formats he's worth an add.
