Ryan Zimmerman Homers In Spring Debut
4 years agoWashington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman began his spring Monday with a home run. Zimmerman sat out 2020 but is back for 2021 and says he feels good. With Josh Bell set to take most of the starts at first base in D.C. this year, Zimmerman is very much a role player this season. When DFS starts up and he is in the Nationals lineup, Zimmerman might be a good value option, as he was still a lefty crusher last we saw him in action: He has not had an OPS below .966 with the platoon advantage since 2016. For season-long leagues, however, Zimmerman's time on fantasy rosters is up.
