Jordan Zimmermann scratched from rehab start, but no need for panic
Jordan Zimmermann was scheduled to make a rehab start tonight for Class A Potomac, but he had to be scratched because of a stiff neck, according to a Nationals spokesman. He will be evaluated Tuesday and will likey pitch later this week instead.
Nationals officials stressed Zimmermann's neck ailment is not a serious setback. They expect a simple check Tuesday and that Zimmermann will resume his rehab from Tommy John surgery, which is ahead of schedule.

So much for all the 2nd half pitching help we've been reading about, would've been nice.

So POT starts Alaniz instead tonight, and JZimm skips a turn in the rotation. It just pushes him back closer to a true 12-month return (which the FO would prefer to see).
