Ryan Zimmerman going on paternity leave

Ryan Zimmerman will be placed on maternity leave. His roster spot will be filled by top prospect Trea Turner.

Fantasy Impact:

Zimmerman has been productive for the Nationals this season, and he continues to see time in the heart of their order. Still, he's lost a lot of the value that he carried as a third baseman considering the production of other fantasy first basemen. He's certainly useful, but an OPS of .763 is less impressive at 1B, especially when he's only getting on base at a .312 clip.
