Zimmermann Done for Year

The Nationals Journal is reporting that Washington starting pitcher and '08 Senators alumni, Jordan Zimmermann, is done for the season. He will have Tommy John surgery next Wednesday.

Here's what Rizzo said about matters:
"The MRI films were looked at for a third time by Dr. Yocum," Rizzo said. "He confirms what the other two doctors have said, and we are scheduling a surgery by Dr. Yocum next Wednesday. Jordan will arrive in California on Tuesday. He'll have the surgery on Wednesday. And if all goes well he'll leave on Thursday."

And after that?
"He will rehab throughout the course of the rest of the season in D.C. with us. And then to be determined after that."
