Washington activated the pair from the disabled list before their MLB series against the Atlanta Braves, the team announced on Friday.

Strasburg – a three-time All-Star and 2012 Silver Slugger Award winner – is scheduled to start for the Nationals in the second-half opener.

The 30-year-old pitcher landed on the disabled list on June 10 with right shoulder inflammation. He holds a 6-6 record with a 3.46 ERA in 13 starts this season.

Two-time All-Star Zimmerman, who is also a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger Award winner – last played in a game for Washington on May 9 because of a strained right oblique.

The 33-year-old infielder has registered a .217/.280/.409 slash line with five home runs and 16 RBIs this season.

The Nationals are in third in the National League East with a 48-48 record.
