PERSONNEL DEPT.

After his first game off in more than a year, 3B Ryan Zimmerman was back in the lineup last night in Houston. Zimmerman's on-base percentage of .252 heading into the night was the fourth lowest among National League regulars. . . . OF Elijah Dukes continued his rehabilitation stint at Class AAA Columbus, and Manager Manny Acta said there is still no timetable for his return. Dukes entered last night's game hitting .286 (4 for 14) in four games.

BY THE NUMBERS

QUOTABLE

"Just starting to cut the cord a little bit, because the familiarity's not there."

Manager Manny Acta, on the Astros,

with whom he spent the first 16 years

of his career. He left in 2002.
