A lingering rib muscle strain likely has brought Ryan Zimmerman's season to a premature end, according to several reports out of Washington. The Nationals third baseman was out of the lineup once again Monday and is not expected to play again in the season's final week, says the Washington Post. Zimmerman began experiencing pain in his intercostal muscle last week and appears set to miss the last 10 games on the schedule in total.
Obviously there's no reason for the Nationals to push their franchise position player at the moment. If he is indeed done, he'll have wrapped up another stellar season with a .307 average, an .898 OPS and 25 homers.
Zimmerman was limited earlier this season by a hamstring strain, leaving him with only 142 games played this year.
