VIERA, Fla. - Just as Dusty Baker promised, Ryan Zimmerman is back in the Nationals lineup today as the designated hitter. Assuming he comes through today's assignment with no ill effects from the plantar fasciitis in his left foot, Zimmerman should make his spring debut at first base in the next couple of days.

Center fielder Ben Revere, who was struck on the left shoulder by a pitch as he awkwardly swung at it yesterday, is also back in the lineup.

The Astros will pitch left-hander Dallas Keuchel today, which will be a good test for the Nationals, who are again trotting out a lineup filled with regulars. He'll be opposed by righty Joe Ross.
