Nationals' Ryan Zimmerman: Taking a seat Thursday

Zimmerman is not in the Nationals' Thursday lineup against the Rockies, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

He'll miss another shot at enjoying Coors Field after leaving the yard Wednesday, with Adam Lind taking his spot at first base. Zimmerman is off to a monstrous start to 2017 (.387/.439/.800 with eight home runs and 21 RBI in 82 plate appearances) but will cool his jets a bit before likely returning Friday.
