Zimmerman close to being cleared for fielding
Ryan Zimmerman - 3B - Washington Nationals
March 9, 2013 - 3:40 PM ET
Ryan Zimmerman (shoulder) likely won't play the field for at least another week.
Zimmerman is being used exclusively at DH in spring training, but has been making throws to second base for several days now. The Washington Times doesn't expect him to return to the field until March 18, when the Nationals will no longer have a designated hitter in the majority of their games.
