No one is going to feel bad for the Washington Nationals. After all, the Atlanta Braves are missing first baseman Freddie Freeman, whose .340/.389/.519 career line against the Nationals and 9 for 24 (.375/.464/.500) history vs tonight's starter for the Nats, Jordan Zimmermann, would be nice to have in the lineup, but the Nationals are banged up.
Ryan Zimmerman's working his way back from the plantar fasciitis that landed him on the DL. Jayson Werth's been able to shag flies with his glove on the left hand after suffering small fractures in his wrist on a HBP last month.
