The Washington Nationals have activated Ryan Zimmerman from the disabled list.

Zimmerman has been out with a Grade 3 hamstring strain since late July.

He was hitting sixth for the Washington Nationals and playing left field with Bryce Harper given the day off.

"It's exciting to at least be a part of [the playoff run] in some way, however it turns out to be," said Zimmerman, who missed the last 55 games. "Hopefully I can come back and help. Whatever capacity it is or whatever they ask me to do, I'm more than willing to do it."
