Zimmerman out as most Nats regulars start vs. Marlins
By Dan Kolko
Ryan Zimmerman is the only Nationals regular not in the lineup for this afternoon's game against the Marlins.
Zimmerman played in each of the club's four games over the last two days, starting the first game of each doubleheader.
With Zimmerman opening the day on the bench, Asdrubal Cabrera is at second with Anthony Rendon at third and Bryce Harper in left field. Williams is starting close to his full lineup as the Nats hope to get the regulars ready for the National League Division Series, which begins Friday.
Stephen Strasburg (13-11, 3.23 ERA) is making his last start of the regular season against Marlins right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (6-13, 4.44 ERA). Strasburg has been as hot as can be lately, going 3-1 with five earned runs in 33 2/3 innings for a 1.34 ERA over his last five starts.
