"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Washington Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman got five at-bats in a simulated game as he tries to work himself back into the lineup after a hamstring injury.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Zimmerman is scheduled to play in another simulated game on Friday and at that time, it will be determined when he will be able to return to active duty.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Zimmerman has not played since July 22 after suffering a Grade 3 hamstring strain.\r\n\r\n\r\n\t&lt;strong&gt;CORCORAN&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;strong&gt;Nationals, Orioles clinch respective divisions&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"He had a full workout. He hit in the cage, he did a full day's work,\" Nationals manager Matt Williams said, according to MLB.com. \"He said he felt great afterward, so we'll push him to five innings [Wednesday] and see where he is at after that.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Williams said that Zimmerman will play leftfield, third base and first base when he returns from the disabled list.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Zimmerman is hitting .282 with five home runs and 36 RBI in 53 games this season for Washington, which clinched the National League East on Tuesday with a win over Atlanta.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- &lt;em&gt;Scooby Axson&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
