Is he really that fragile? If they were that worried, they wouldn't play him at 1B for full AL series. He looks more fit than he ever has and his PF is in the past. It's time to play him every 3 out of 4 games as long as he's hitting like a top 5 hitter in the league. He's also a perfect guy to protect Soto in the lineup.
This happens like every season the last ten years. Zim gets hot, hurts something, disappears for two months, then comes back and takes like 100 PAs to get his swing back.
If he wanted to start every day, he would be. He'd walk into Martinez' office and tell him to start him.
Its not a playoff team. Bell is finally starting to come around. Just enjoy this last little bit of Zim
