Wire Taps: Ryan Zimmerman, Jose Lobaton begin rehab assignments; Can Trea Turner keep it going?; Clint Robinson, Matt Belisle talk altitude

Certain guys are really good in certain places - for instance, Gio Gonzalez has a 1.64 ERA at Citi Field. Other guys... not so much. Max Scherzer certainly falls into the latter category at Coors Field - heading into last night's game, Scherzer had a 5.32 ERA in Colorado - and his four inning, four run outing probably didn't help.

Here's the news from Denver.
