The Nationals, in search of a back-end starter, have "some interest" in reuniting with Tigers right-hander Jordan Zimmermann, per Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe.

Zimmermann spent the first seven years of his career with the Nats before signing a five-year, $110 million free-agent deal with the Tigers ahead of the 2016 season. He went 70-50 with a 3.32 ERA in 178 starts for Washington, earning two All-Star berths.
