DR HQ: 2013 injury risks: Third base
Mar 16 2013
Ryan Zimmerman (3B, WAS)
Zimmerman struggled with right shoulder soreness for a good chunk of the 2012 season. He then underwent surgery in October to repair damage due to a sprained A/C joint. This joint is where the end of the clavicle (collarbone) helps form the A/C joint at the top of the shoulder. Note it is not part of the main shoulder joint where the humerus (upper arm bone) inserts into the shoulder socket. Zimmerman reportedly has some signs of arthritis in the A/C joint that has caused discomfort when he throws. It could eventually force Zimmerman to move across the diamond. He is DHing right now as a precaution though expects to try it out in the field in the next couple of days.
