Tue Feb 15 202216:32Ryan Zimmerman Announces Retirement
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.

Wed Nov 17 202115:14Ryan Zimmerman Intends To Play In 2022
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.

Wed Sep 15 202112:44Ryan Zimmerman Homers Against Miami Tuesday
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.

Sun Sep 12 202100:06Ryan Zimmerman Hits Pinch-Hit Homer
Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman delivered a pinch-hit home run in the eighth inning of Saturday's 10-7 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. It's his 13th of the year. Zimmerman has managed 223 at-bats as a part-time player this season, producing a .756 OPS. He's more valuable to the real-life Nationals than any fantasy team, as he's only rosterable in the deepest leagues with daily lineup changes.

Wed Aug 25 202101:11Ryan Zimmerman Hits Two-Run Homer
Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman got the start against the left-handed Jesus Luzardo and the Miami Marlins Tuesday, and he responded by going 1-for-5 with a two-run home run. It's his 12th long ball of the year. Zimmerman only plays against lefties, leaving him with 208 total at-bats for the season. With a .742 OPS, he provides neither the quality or the quantity necessary to be worth a roster spot in anything but the deepest leagues with daily lineup changes.

Mon Aug 9 202100:16Ryan Zimmerman Has Three Hits, Drives In Two
Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman had a strong game against the Atlanta Braves Sunday, going 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI. Zimmerman started at first base, sliding Josh Bell to the outfield. Zimmerman stands to have greatly increased opportunity for playing time if the Nationals are comfortable with Bell on the grass, which could make Zimmerman a viable play in deep mixed and NL-only leagues. He has a .760 OPS with 11 homers in 192 at-bats.

Fri Jul 30 202101:35Rays thump Cole, Yanks with 10-run inning to avoid sweep
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Luis Patiño outpitched Gerrit Cole, Brett Phillips hit a grand slam during a 10-run sixth inning, and the Tampa Bay Rays avoided a three-game sweep by routing the New York Yankees 14-0 on Thursday. Patiño (2-2) allowed three hits in six innings. The 21-year-old right-hander, acquired in the trade that sent Blake Snell to San Diego last December, struck out eight and walked two. Cole (10-6) gave up a season-high eight runs — seven earned — on six hits over 5 1/3 innings and saw his ERA jump from 2.74 to 3.11. He had 10 strikeouts and two walks. Austin Meadows homered twice and drove in five runs for the Rays. Louis Head and Ryan Sherriff completed a four-hitter. All nine batters in the Rays’ lineup reached base in the sixth. It was the biggest scoring inning by Tampa Bay since a 10-run fifth at Miami on June 5, 2008.

Fri Jul 30 202101:15Ryan Zimmerman Reaches Four Times In Loss
Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman started Thursday's nightcap against the Philadelphia Phillies, batting third and playing first base. He went 2-for-3 with two walks, an RBI, and two runs scored. As it stands, Zimmerman has only been in the lineup against left-handed starters, but with so many players on the move that could change. Starting first baseman Josh Bell could be moved as well, or the team has been experimenting with Bell in the outfield to create room for Zimmerman. He could have value in deep mixed and NL-only leagues in that scenario.

July 27 1918 — Brooklyn rookie Henry Heitman completed one of the shortest careers in major league history. Heitman appeared on the mound against the St. Louis Cardinals, gave up four consecutive hits and then left the game, never to play a major league game again. 1930 — Ken Ash of Cincinnati got his last major league victory by throwing one pitch. Ash came into relieve in the fifth inning and got Chicago’s Charlie Grimm to hit into a triple play. Ash was removed for a pinch hitter and the Reds beat the Cubs 6-5. 1946 — Rudy York of Boston hit two grand slams and drove in 10 runs as the Red Sox beat the St. Louis Browns 13-6. 1950 — Del Ennis of the Philadelphia Phillies drove in seven runs in the seventh and eighth innings of a 13-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs.

Sun Jul 25 202122:53Red Sox score 5 runs in 8th inning, rally past Yankees 5-4
BOSTON (AP) — Held hitless into the eighth inning by Domingo Germán and looking feeble, Alex Verdugo and the Boston Red Sox suddenly erupted for five runs and stormed past the New York Yankees 5-4 Sunday. Verdugo opened the eighth with a long double for Boston’s first hit. Later, Kiké Hernández slid home headfirst on Xander Bogaerts’ sacrifice fly with the go-ahead run to cap the rally. The Red Sox won for the 10th time in 13 games against the Yankees and reclaimed first place in the AL East, a game ahead of Tampa Bay. New York fell nine games behind Boston. Boston trailed 4-0 when Verdugo doubled to deep right, and Germán was lifted after the hit. Jonathan Loaisiga (7-4) relieved, and Boston broke loose with four straight hits. Hunter Renfroe had an RBI double, Christian Vázquez singled home a run and Hernández followed with an RBI double, cutting it to 4-3. Zack Britton relieved and pinch-hitter Kevin Plawecki’s groundout plated the tying run. Hernández hustled hard and beat right fielder... [More]

Sun Jul 18 202122:51Padres, Nats recall harrowing scene after shots outside park
When the gunshots started to echo all around Nationals Park, San Diego Padres star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. quickly thought about the team's family members and friends in the seats. Tatis bolted from the bench down the left field line Saturday night, helped open a gate to the stands and began ushering a group back to the dugout for shelter. “Our family, loved ones, little kids. Feel like somebody needed to go get them,” Tatis said Sunday. “I feel like the safest place was the clubhouse and we were trying to get our families into a safe place.” The top half of the sixth inning in the game between the Padres and Washington Nationals had just ended in front of about 33,000 fans when several shots were heard on South Capitol Street, just outside the third-base side of the stadium. But in the moment, no one knew whether the rapid series of shots was coming from inside the ballpark or beyond. “It doesn’t make the situation better, but someone shooting a firearm in the stadium would have been...

Sun Jul 18 202101:41Padres-Nats game suspended after shooting outside DC stadium
WASHINGTON (AP) — The game between the San Diego Padres and Washington was suspended in the sixth inning Saturday night after a shooting outside Nationals Park that caused echoes of gunfire inside the stadium and prompted fans to scramble for safety in the dugout. The shooting, an exchange of gunfire between people in two cars, left three people injured, according to Ashan Benedict, the Metropolitan Police Department's executive assistant police chief. One of the people who was shot was a woman who was attending the game and who was struck while she was outside the stadium, he said. Her injuries weren't considered life-threatening. Two people who were in one of the cars later walked into a local hospital with gunshot wounds and were being questioned by investigators, Benedict said, and the extent of their injuries wasn't immediately clear.
