Brandon Nimmo Injury News & Updates

Nimmo landed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a sprained right shoulder.

Nimmo has dealt with more than his fair share of injury problems in the past, so it's discouraging to see him end the year injured after a pair of seasons in which he crossed the 150-game threshold for the first time. This particular injury may not be too worrisome, however, as source reports that Nimmo avoided structural damage. If the Mets had postseason baseball to look forward to, he would address the problem with an injection, but their 72-86 record means he'll instead hit the couch a few days early and let the problem heal with rest. Michael Perez was recalled to take his place on the roster.

Nimmo has an AC joint injury in his right shoulder and will undergo an MRI on Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo was held out of the lineup Sunday with an undisclosed injury, so this may be a related issue. The seriousness of the injury is not yet known, but given that the Mets have little to play for across the final weekend of the regular season, it's unlikely that Nimmo will return to the lineup.

Nimmo (undisclosed) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Marlins.

Nimmo will start in center field and bat leadoff versus the Marlins and left-hander Braxton Garrett after sitting out of Sunday's series finale at Philadelphia due to general soreness. Nimmo, 30, boasts a .333/.394/.633 slash line in 99 plate appearances since the beginning of September.

Nimmo is dealing with an unspecified injury and is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, Tim Britton of The Athleticreports.

The center fielder apparently suffered the injury Saturday on a slide into home plate, and manager Buck Showalter indicated Nimmo would have been replaced by a pinch runner had he reached during his ninth-inning plate appearance. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue, and Nimmo will have the Mets' scheduled day off Monday to rest before Tuesday's series opener versus the Marlins.

Nimmo went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, two additional runs and a walk against Miami in an 8-3 win Wednesday.

Nimmo has been scorching in September, batting .346 through 18 contests. He's gone deep five times during the month so far, though he hadn't homered in his previous 10 games before Wednesday. Nimmo has already established a career high with 24 homers on the campaign, and he needs one more RBI to tie the career-best mark of 64 he recorded last season.

Nimmo went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

Among Nimmo's three hits was a game-tying, two-run double with two outs in the ninth inning. The tenacious 30-year-old has posted multi-hit efforts in four of the last eight games, hitting .361 (12-for-36) with four doubles, one triple, four runs and four RBI in that span.

Nimmo went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, a triple and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

The Mets' leadoff hitter had no trouble getting himself into scoring position as he continued a tear that has seen him slash .333/.390/.741 over his last 13 games with 11 total extra-base hits (five doubles, a triple and five homers). Nimmo's 23 long balls on the year are a career high, and his .819 OPS has him on track to post a mark in the .800s for the fourth straight season.

Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 win over the Mariners.

He took Logan Gilbert deep in the sixth inning to get the Mets on the board. Nimmo has reached 20 homers for the first time in his career, and while his 55 RBI and 73 runs are steps back from 2022, that's more a reflection of the offense behind him than his performance as the team's leadoff hitter. Since the beginning of August, the 30-year-old is slashing .278/.364/.474 with five homers, eight RBI and 12 runs in 27 contests.

Nimmo went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Monday's 4-3 loss against Texas.

Nimmo had been mired in an 0-for-20 slump prior to Monday's contest. He opened the scoring with a two-run blast off of Jon Gray in the third inning, his career-best 19th homer of the year and his fourth in his last 14 games. The 30-year-old Nimmo is now slashing .259/.356/.435 with 72 runs scored and 53 RBI across 563 plate appearances on the campaign.

Nimmo went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Friday's win against St. Louis.

Nimmo got things started with a leadoff homer in the first inning. It was his 18th home run of the season, setting a new career high. He's collected multiple hits in six of his last seven games, raising his season slash line to .269/.366/.452 with 68 runs scored and 42 extra-base hits through 117 contests.

Nimmo went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Monday's 7-2 win over the Pirates.

Nimmo capped the scoring in the sixth inning with a solo home run off Osvaldo Bido, his 16th of the year and first since July 21. The 30-year-old Nimmo has now hit safely in six straight games, including three consecutive multi-hit efforts, going 9-for-23 (.391) in that span. His slash line is up to .261/.358/.434 with 65 runs scored, 48 RBI and three steals across 506 plate appearances on the campaign.

Nimmo has been playing through a quadricep injury since the beginning of August and will only play in Game 2 on Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo's injury caused him to miss two games at the beginning of August, and the Mets have allowed him to play through it since then. Manager Buck Showalter said he wasn't comfortable starting Nimmo in both games of Saturday's doubleheader against Atlanta because of the injury, so Nimmo will wait until the nightcap to get on the field. While playing through his injury, Nimmo is slashing .227/.346/.273 through 26 plate appearances.

Nimmo isn't in the Mets' lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Atlanta.

Nimmo has collected a hit in each of his last three games, and he'll get a breather to begin Saturday's activities. Rafael Ortega will slide to center field in Nimmo's absence, allowing Abraham Almonte to start in left and bat sixth.

Nimmo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

The 30-year-old started the past two contests after sitting out three games with quadriceps tightness, and it appears he'll receive a maintenance day for the series finale in Baltimore. Rafael Ortega will receive another start in center field in Nimmo's place.

Nimmo (quad) is starting in center field and batting in the leadoff spot Friday against Baltimore.

Quad tightness has kept Nimmo out of the lineup for each of New York's last three games, but the issue seems to have subsided ahead of Friday's series opener. The 30-year-old outfielder is slashing just .193/.277/.368 over 65 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

Nimmo (quad) is out of the lineup again Thursday against the Royals.

It's the third straight absence for Nimmo, who is working through some minor quad tightness. He assured reporters Wednesday that it's nothing serious. Rafael Ortega will get start in center field and bat ninth for the Mets on Thursday afternoon in Kansas City.

Nimmo (quad) remains out of the lineup Wednesday at Kansas City, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo was scratched from the lineup Tuesday due to quad tightness and will take another day off for rest and treatment, but it's not believed to be anything overly serious. He could return to action for the Mets in Thursday afternoon's series finale versus the Royals.

Nimmo was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to quad tightness, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Nimmo's quad started tightening up during batting practice before Tuesday's game against Kansas City and ended up being enough to keep him out of the lineup for the first time since June 4. No details have been provided regarding the severity of Nimmo's injury, but he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Nimmo was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Royals for an unspecified reason.

According to Tim Healey of Newsday, Mets manager Buck Showalter said heading into Tuesday that he had about seven lineups at his disposal based on how the roster might have changed leading up to the 6 p.m. ET trade deadline, and the final starting nine the skipper settled on didn't include Nimmo. The Mets haven't specified that Nimmo's late scratch was the result of an injury or illness, as Showalter may have just instead elected to give the center fielder a rare breather on the day the team essentially waived the white flag on contending for a wild-card spot. Nimmo had started in every game since June 4.

Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Giants.

The 30-year-old outfielder socked one of three solo shots in the third inning off Anthony DeSclafani on a day in which the Mets only managed four hits in total. Nimmo's been swinging a hot bat as the All-Star break approaches, and over his last 10 games he's batting .308 (12-for-39) with five of his 12 homers on the season.

Nimmo went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks Thursday in a loss to the Brewers.

Brett Baty launched a solo shot in the third inning for New York's first run, and Nimmo immediately followed a long ball of his own. The homer was Nimmo's third in his past three games and his seventh over his past 19 contests after he went deep just four times across his initial 60 games of the campaign. Nimmo is up to 11 long balls on the season, putting him on pace to surpass his career-high mark of 17 set in 2018.

Nimmo went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three total RBI in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Brewers.

The 30-year-old clubbed a pair of long balls off Julio Teheran for his first multi-homer effort of the campaign, and it's also just the third time this year he's driven in more than two runs in a game. Nimmo is hitting .253 with six home runs and 17 RBI through 22 games in June, but he's also struck out at a 31 percent clip. Overall in 2023 he has a .282/.371/.449 slash line with 26 extra-base hits, 38 RBI and three stolen bases in 349 plate appearances.

Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Phillies.

His third-inning shot off former teammate Taijuan Walker accounted for the Mets' only offense on the night, but it didn't make up for Nimmo's first-inning error that led to the Phillies' first two runs. The veteran outfielder has eight homers on the year, but four of them have come in the last 13 games -- a stretch in which he's slashing .250/.361/.519 with seven runs and 12 RBI.

Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a homer and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-6 loss against the Yankees.

Nimmo got the Mets on the board with a solo home run off Luis Severino to lead off the bottom of the first, tying the game 1-1. The 30-year-old Nimmo is now 6-for-20 (.300) with a pair of home runs in his last five games following a 3-for-23 (.130) stretch over his previous six contests. Overall, Nimmo's slashing .286/.378/.429 with six homers, 38 runs scored and 27 RBI through 295 plate appearances this season.

Nimmo went 1-for-5 with a grand slam, an additional run and a walk in Thursday's extra-inning loss to Atlanta.

Nimmo gave the Mets their first lead with a grand slam off Spencer Strider in the second inning, but Atlanta eventually prevailed in a slugfest. The grand slam was the first of Nimmo's career and his fifth overall long ball this season. The outfielder isn't known for his power and has never hit more than 17 homers in a campaign, though he ranks in the 86th percentile among big-league hitters in average exit velocity this season.

Nimmo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Nimmo is 3-for-20 with seven strikeouts over the past five contests, and he'll receive a breather Sunday after making 49 consecutive starts. Tommy Pham will take over in center field and at the leadoff spot in the series finale versus Toronto.

Nimmo went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs.

The Mets only mustered up six hits for the evening and Nimmo accounted for half of them. He's hit safely now in five straight games and has six multi-hit games this month but has just six extra-base hits to show for it. For the year, he's slashing .301/.381/.430 with four homers, 19 RBI, 27 runs and a 22:40 BB:K over 216 plate appearances as the Mets' main leadoff man.

Nimmo went 2-for-9 with a solo home run across both games of Sunday's doubleheader sweep of the Guardians.

He had one hit in each contest, taking Eli Morgan deep in the seventh inning of the matinee to give the Mets a crucial run in an eventual 5-4 win. Nimmo has hit safely in 10 of the last 12 games but has only two extra-base knocks among 14 hits over that stretch, giving him a .291/.374/.418 slash line on the season with four homers, three steals, 19 RBI and 26 runs in 47 games.

Nimmo went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Reds.

Nimmo notched a base hit in the third, fourth and ninth innings, with his RBI single coming in the fourth. The 30-year-old has logged multi-hit performances in three of his last five games and has been successful thus far as the Mets' leadoff hitter. He's now slashing .311/.406/.452 with 12 extra-base hits, 15 RBI, 21 runs and a 19:29 BB:K over 161 plate appearances.

Nimmo went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a double and a walk in Friday's win over Colorado.

Nimmo's solo shot in the fourth inning proved to be the difference maker in the 1-0 win Friday. It was his third home run of the season and he's up to 12 extra-base knocks after the strong performance. After a slow start, Nimmo has gone 31-for-87 (.356) over the last 21 games, raising his season OPS to .875.

Nimmo went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Thursday's win over the Giants.

The 30-year-old center fielder is on fire at the plate, producing six multi-hit performances over the last eight games and batting .528 (19-for-36) during that stretch with five doubles, a homer, six runs and eight RBI. About the only thing Nimmo isn't doing at the moment is drawing walks at his usual rate, posting a 3:4 BB:K in those eight contests, but given the damage he's doing when he swings the bat that's understandable. Nimmo's on pace to score triple-digit runs for the second straight season, and he's entrenched in the leadoff spot for the Mets.

Nimmo went 5-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers.

Nimmo put on a remarkable offensive display on Wednesday, recording five hits for the second time in his career. The veteran outfielder singled in his first at-bat to begin the game before taking Noah Syndergaard deep for a two-run blast in the fifth. Nimmo is off to an impressive start to the year, slashing .349/.481/.476 with 10 RBI and 12 runs scored through 63 plate appearances and has knocked multiple hits in six of his last seven games.

Nimmo is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

With left-hander Braxton Garrett starting for Miami, Nimmo will take a seat on the bench for the finale of the three-game series. Tommy Pham is leading off and gets the start in center in his place.

Nimmo went 0-for-1 with four walks, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 9-3 win over the Marlins.

The Mets drew 12 free passes in total on the afternoon, but Nimmo was the only one to walk more than twice. The patient leadoff hitter is batting only .227 (5-for-22) through eight games but has a .455 OBP thanks to a 10:3 BB:K, adding three runs, three RBI and two steals to his ledger.

Nimmo went 3-for-4 in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers.

All three hits were singles, and the rest of the Mets' lineup managed only five other knocks in a 9-0 loss. Nimmo is doing his job at the top of the order, going 5-for-16 (.313) through six games with a 6:1 BB:K, but the early-season struggles of the hitters behind him have led to the 30-year-old crossing the plate only once so far. Expect that to change, and quickly, given that he scored a career-high 102 runs in 2022.

Nimmo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo will get Sunday off with southpaw Trevor Rogers on the mound for the Marlins. Tommy Pham is leading off and playing center, while Tim Locastro gets the start in right. Over his fist three games, Nimmo has hit .222/.429/.333 over 14 plate appearances while picking up three RBI and a stolen base.

Nimmo went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and three RBI in an Opening Day win over the Marlins.

His third-inning sacrifice fly got the Mets on the board, and Nimmo then played hero in the seventh with a two-run double that broke open a 3-3 tie and put New York in the lead for good. The veteran outfielder has posted an OBP over .400 in three of the last five seasons and set career highs in 2022 with 30 doubles, 64 RBI and 102 runs, but it's his ability to stay healthy that will go the longest way toward determining whether he's able to build on last year's strong campaign.

Nimmo (ankle/knee) is starting in center field and batting leadoff in the Mets' season opener Thursday against the Marlins.

Nimmo sprained both his right ankle and right knee during a March 17 game in the Grapefruit League, but he returned to exhibition action just before the end of spring training and is now ready to rock for Opening Day. The 30-year-old signed a fresh eight-year, $162 million contract with New York over the winter.

Nimmo (ankle) will lead off and play center field Saturday against the Cardinals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo has been out for eight days with a low-grade sprain in both his right ankle and his right knee, but he's been trending in the right direction. Assuming he gets through Saturday's game without issues, he should be ready for Opening Day.

Nimmo (ankle/knee) is expected to return to the Mets' Grapefruit League lineup Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

This comes after Nimmo made five plate appearances, and even hit a triple, in a minor-league game Thursday in Mets camp. The 29-year-old outfielder suffered low-grade sprains to both his right ankle and right knee last week, but all current signs point to him being ready for Opening Day.

Nimmo (ankle/knee) got five plate appearances Thursday in a minor-league game, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

He hit a triple in one of those five plate appearances and ran it out well, per Healey. Nimmo has been slowed over the last week or so by low-grade sprains in both his right ankle and right knee, but he is slated to return to Grapefruit League action this weekend and seems like a good bet at this point to be ready for Opening Day.

Nimmo (ankle/knee) put in a full workout Tuesday and hopes to rejoin the Mets' Grapefruit League lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo has been nursing low-grade right ankle and knee sprains since last Friday, but his ability to take part in hitting, fielding and running work at Mets camp Tuesday bodes well for his availability for Opening Day. He'll likely continue to take part in baseball activities for the next three days with the aim of gaining clearance for the Mets' final two Grapefruit League games Saturday and Sunday. If Nimmo checks out fine coming out of those games, he should be ready to handle an everyday role in center field while serving as the Mets' leadoff man.

Nimmo (ankle/knee) ran through drills without issue Tuesday in Mets camp, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Puma writes that "team officials liked what they saw and deem Nimmo as progressing," but it remains uncertain whether the 29-year-old outfielder is going to be fully ready for Opening Day. He was diagnosed Saturday with low-grade sprains in both his right ankle and right knee, the result of a collision at second base in a Grapefruit League game last Friday.

Nimmo (ankle/knee) told reporters Sunday that he believe he'll be ready for Opening Day, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Nimmo said he was relieved to be diagnosed with sprains in his right knee and ankle, as it could have been worse. The outfielder jammed both while trying to break up a double play Friday in a Grapefruit League game, but imaging revealed no structural damage. The Mets won't take any risks in the early part of the season, but it does seem likely that Nimmo will be playing games in April for New York, even if he does open the season on the injured list.

Nimmo has been diagnosed with a low grade strain in his right knee and ankle, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

The good news is there's no structural damage according to the imaging. The bad news is that the outfielder has been diagnosed with the sprain, and will need to be evaluated on a week-to-week basis. The injury occurred when he jammed his knee/ankle into second base Friday while trying to break up a double play. Nimmo's status for Opening Day is very much in doubt, and this will be a situation that has to be monitored over the coming weeks.

Nimmo left Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins with right ankle soreness and will be undergo imagine on Saturday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

It looked like Nimmo had jammed his knee, but the Mets are saying instead it's the ankle that caused his exit. The Mets have dealt with significant injuries over the past few weeks, and the loss of Nimmo would be a massive one for both fantasy managers and New York for the coming seasons. There should be some clarity on the injury before the end of the weekend.

Nimmo has left Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins with an apparent injury, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Nimmo appeared to jam his right knee while sliding into second base, and he limped off the field with an athletic trainer as well as Mets manager Buck Showalter. The outfielder will all but assuredly go in for further testing, and there should be an update on his status well before Saturday.

Nimmo is starting in center field and batting leadoff in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.

Nimmo will see his first game action of spring training Sunday, as the Mets held him back a bit to open camp despite being in good health. The 29-year-old finally stayed healthy in 2022 and played in a career-high 151 games, and he delivered a .274/.367/.433 slash line with 16 home runs, 64 RBI and 102 runs. New York rewarded him with an eight-year, $162 million contract in December, and he's locked in as the club's center fielder for the foreseeable future.

Nimmo will make his Grapefruit League debut Sunday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Nimmo hasn't appeared in a spring game yet, but the outfielder isn't missing time for injury, but instead it's an effort to build up energy and durability after a career-high 673 plate appearances. The outfielder signed an eight-year, $162 million extension in the offseason, and he'll hit at or near the top of the lineup for the Mets in 2023.

Nimmo is likely to make his Grapefruit League debut this weekend, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports.

Nimmo hasn't appeared in a game yet this spring, but he's simply building up energy and durability for the regular season after logging a huge number of plate appearances in 2022. The 29-year-old outfielder and leadoff man re-upped with the Mets this winter on an eight-year, $162 million deal.

Nimmo is expected to make his Grapefruit League debut this week, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Nimmo has been eased along in Mets camp this spring, but there are no injury concerns at the moment. The 29-year-old re-upped with New York in December on an eight-year, $162 million pact.

Nimmo likely won't see action in Grapefruit League games until next weekend, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The 29-year-old center fielder is healthy to begin camp, but given his injury history, the Mets are taking a cautious approach with him. Nimmo returned to New York on an eight-year, $162 million contract over the winter and figures to slot back in at the top of the order thanks to his .385 career OBP -- a role that led to a career-high 102 runs in 2022.

Nimmo signed an eight-year, $162 million contract with the Mets on Thursday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

The Mets selected Nimmo 13th overall in the 2011 MLB Draft, and he's been with the team since. Barring a trade, this deal makes it extremely likely that he'll play his entire career with the club. Nimmo has a career 134 wRC+ and .362 wOBA, with his ability to get on base and make consistent contact his carrying skills. He's also a strong defensive center fielder and will be locked into the lineup at that position in 2023.

Nimmo isn't starting Wednesday against Washington.

Nimmo has been on a tear at the plate recently, hitting .500 with two home runs, two doubles, six RBI, three runs, a walk and three strikeouts over the last five games. However, he'll get a breather while Terrance Gore starts in center field and bats ninth during Wednesday's regular-season finale.

Nimmo went 6-for-8 with two doubles, two home runs and six RBI across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of the Nationals.

The center fielder had three hits and three RBI in each game, going yard in the fourth inning of the matinee before leading off the nightcap with his 16th homer of the year. Nimmo's been on fire to close out the regular season, slashing .400/.484/.582 over his last 15 games with two steals, 11 RBI and 14 runs, although Tuesday's homers were his first during that blistering stretch.

Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a walk and three runs scored in Sunday's win over the A's.

The 29-year-old outfielder continues a late-season surge from the leadoff spot, crossing the plate in the third, fourth and eighth innings in a 13-4 rout. Nimmo has four multi-hit performances in his last seven starts, batting .393 (11-for-28) over that stretch with two steals, five RBI and nine runs scored, and he's now three runs shy of reaching 100 in a season for the first time in his career.

Nimmo isn't starting Saturday against the Athletics, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Nimmo returned to the lineup Friday against Oakland and went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run. He'll get a breather while Mark Canha starts in center field and bats second.

Nimmo (quadriceps) will lead off and play center field Friday against Oakland, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Nimmo left Wednesday's game against Milwaukee due to left quadriceps tightness, but the issue turned out to be fairly mild. An MRI came back clean during Thursday's scheduled off day, so he'll avoid missing any starts.

Nimmo (quadriceps) underwent an MRI on Thursday that came back clean.

Nimmo was removed from Wednesday's game against the Brewers in the bottom of the first inning due to left quadriceps tightness, but he doesn't appear to be dealing with a particularly serious injury. He's considered day-to-day prior to Friday's series opener against the Athletics.

Nimmo (quadriceps) said after Wednesday's loss to Milwaukee that he doesn't think he's dealing with a serious injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo exited Wednesday's game in the bottom of the first inning due to left quadriceps tightness and will get an MRI on Thursday, but he didn't seem to be too concerned about the issue after the game. The 29-year-old will have at least one day to recover since the Mets have a scheduled day off ahead of Friday's series opener in Oakland.

Nimmo exited Wednesday's game against the Brewers due to left quadriceps tightness, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Nimmo reached base on a single and stole a base in the top of the first inning Wednesday, but he was replaced defensively during the bottom half of the frame. The severity of the issue isn't yet clear, but he should tentatively be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's series opener in Oakland.

Nimmo was removed in the bottom of the first inning of Wednesday's game against the Brewers with an apparent leg injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

In the top of the first inning, Nimmo reached on a single and then recorded a stolen base. He was out at his usual spot in center field to begin the bottom of the first inning, but after starter Taijuan Walker faced three hitters, Nimmo asked out of the contest while walking gingerly off the field. He may have tweaked something while recording the stolen base, which was his third in 11 games after he hadn't recorded a single steal through his first 131 contests of the season. Expect the Mets to provide an update on Nimmo's condition later Wednesday.

Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a homer, a double, three RBI, two walks and a stolen base in a 9-3 win Sunday in Miami.

Nimmo reached base safely in his first four plate appearances, including a three-run homer in the second. The stolen base was his first of the season in three attempts. He has reached base safely in 11 of his last 12 games, posting a .313/.389/.542 slash line in that span.

Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Pirates.

He spoiled a combined shutout bid by the Pittsburgh staff in the seventh inning by taking Robert Stephenson deep. Nimmo has been flashed more power than usual lately, slashing .263/.354/.509 over his last 15 games with three of his 13 homers on the season.

Nimmo went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Rockies.

Nimmo set the tone by leading off the bottom of the first inning with a solo shot off Rockies starter Kyle Freeland's second pitch of the game.

Nimmo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

The Mets will send three left-handed hitters to the bench against Reds southpaw Mike Minor, with Nimmo exiting the lineup along with Daniel Vogelbach and Tyler Naquin. Mark Canha will step in as the Mets' center fielder and leadoff batter in Nimmo's stead.

Nimmo went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 5-2 win over Atlanta.

Nimmo has started August hot, with three games of three-plus hits in his last seven. During that span, he's hit .406 (13-for-32) with three doubles, though he's added just one RBI and four runs scored. The outfielder continues to hit leadoff regularly ahead of a lineup well reinforced at the trade deadline. Nimmo owns a .273/.356/.428 slash line with 10 home runs, 40 RBI, 66 runs scored, 21 doubles and five triples through 452 plate appearances.

Nimmo went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Nationals.

The typically patient Nimmo had drawn only one free pass in his prior 12 games, but he's been swinging a hot bat by going 11-for-28 (.393) over the last six contests. He remains a fixture atop the Mets' lineup, and with 64 runs through 96 games on the season, he's closing in on his career high of 77 set back in 2018.

Nimmo went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and two total runs scored in Thursday's 8-0 win over the Cubs.

Nimmo has nine homers this year, his most since he hit 17 in 2018. He's gone deep four times in 14 games this month. The outfielder provided insurance Thursday with a sixth-inning solo shot, and he was also on base when Pete Alonso hit a two-run blast in the eighth. Nimmo has hit .259 (15-for-58) in July, and he's posted a .275/.361/.447 slash line with 33 RBI, 56 runs scored, 16 doubles and five triples through 362 plate appearances.

Nimmo went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Marlins.

He got the Mets on the board in the third inning by taking Pablo Lopez deep, Nimmo's third homer in the last five games and his eighth of the year. Over his last 16 contests, the 29-year-old is slashing a sizzling .328/.361/.582 with 11 RBI and 12 runs.

Nimmo went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's 8-3 extra-inning win over the Reds.

The outfielder capped the scoring in the 10th inning with his seventh homer of the year, a blast to right field off Dauri Moreta. Nimmo is in a groove right now, slashing .313/.341/.506 over his last 20 games with three home runs, nine RBI and 13 runs.

Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a walk and a three-run home run in Monday's 7-4 win over the Reds.

A caught stealing was the only real blemish on Nimmo's line, and his second-inning blast off Hunter Greene got the Mets on the board. The 29-year-old outfielder isn't getting on base quite as often as he did earlier in the year, but Nimmo is still slashing a robust .320/.340/.520 over his last 12 games with two of his six homers on the season, along with six RBI and seven runs.

Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Marlins.

The Mets were unable to generate much offensive production during Sunday's matchup, but Nimmo led off the game with a double before putting the team on the board with his fifth run of the season during the third inning. The 29-year-old is riding a six-game hitting streak in which he's hit .423 with a homer, three doubles, five runs and three RBI.

Nimmo went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Monday's 6-0 win over Miami.

Nimmo doubled and scored in the first inning and later crossed home again in the fifth. He has five multi-hit performances over his last 10 games, going 12-for-41 (.293) with eight runs scored. Nimmo improved his season slash line to .269/.364/.414 with 20 extra-base hits and 39 runs scored through 266 plate appearances. The 29-year-old has just one homer in his last 47 games.

Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Friday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

The 29-year-old had gone just 3-for-29 (.103) over his prior nine contests coming off a three-game absence due to a sore wrist in late May, but Nimmo looked 100 percent healthy again Friday. On the season, he's slashing .268/.373/.421 with four homers, 21 RBI and 33 runs through 52 games.

Nimmo went 0-for-5 in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Nationals.

Nimmo missed four games with a right wrist sprain, and he wasn't able to get on base in his return to the lineup. The outfielder hit leadoff in Wednesday's contest, which saw his 10-game hitting streak come to an end. Overall, he's at a .284/.376/.438 slash line with three home runs, 17 RBI, 29 runs scored, four triples and eight doubles in 191 plate appearances. Nimmo should see a near-everyday role going forward as the Mets' starting center fielder.

Nimmo is starting in center field and batting leadoff in Wednesday's contest versus the Nationals.

After missing four straight games while nursing a wrist injury, Nimmo is ready to go Wednesday. He currently has a 10-game hit streak, batting .293 with four extra-base hits, five RBI and nine runs over that stretch.

Nimmo (wrist) will sit for the fourth straight game Tuesday against the Nationals.

Nimmo has been out since Friday with a right wrist sprain, but the Mets have continued to keep him on the roster. He received a cortisone shot Saturday which was supposed to give him a chance to return as soon as Monday, but he apparently remains unavailable. Mark Canha will make another start in center field Tuesday, with Jeff McNeil taking over in left.

Nimmo (wrist) isn't in the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

Nimmo tested his wrist injury prior to Monday's matchup, but he'll ultimately remain out of the lineup for a third straight game. While Mark Canha will shift to center field while Nick Plummer starts in left Monday, Nimmo is expected to return to the lineup Tuesday, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.

Nimmo (wrist) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

The Mets will turn to second baseman Luis Guillorme to handle leadoff duties while Nimmo's sprained right wrist keeps him on the bench for a second straight game. Per Tim Healey of Newsday, Nimmo received a cortisone shot for the wrist, so he may need another day or two off to wait for the injection to take effect before he slots back into the lineup. After Sunday's contest, the Mets will begin a three-game series with the Nationals on Monday.

Nimmo isn't starting Saturday against the Phillies due to a sore wrist, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo is out of Saturday's lineup despite recording hits in each of the last 10 games, and he's apparently dealing with a wrist injury. The 29-year-old expects to receive a cortisone injection Saturday night, and he said that he'll likely be unavailable Saturday and Sunday. However, Nimmo is hopeful that he'll be able to return in time for Monday's series opener against the Nationals.

Nimmo isn't starting Saturday against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo is in the midst of a 10-game hitting streak in which he's hit .293 with two triples, two doubles, nine runs and five RBI. He'll get a rare day off while Mark Canha shifts to center field with Luis Guillorme starting at second base.

Nimmo went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run in Tuesday's 13-12 loss to the Giants. He also reached base when he was hit by a pitch for the second time this season.

Nimmo's RBI came with one out in the top of the ninth inning, with his sacrifice fly scoring the tie-breaking run. The Giants rallied for two runs in the bottom half of the inning to come away with the win, but Nimmo once again got the job done as the Mets' table setter. He'll head into Wednesday's series finale with an eight-game hitting streak, and he's gotten on base in all but one of his last 27 games. Over that timeframe, Nimmo is slashing an impressive .292/.379/.406.

Mets manager Buck Showalter said Nimmo (quadriceps) will start in center field and bat leadoff Wednesday against the Cardinals, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Nimmo's availability for Wednesday's contest was iffy heading into the day after he exited the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with a bruised right quad. The Mets put Nimmo through a pregame workout to gauge his health, and the 29-year-old apparently passed all the necessary tests to guarantee his availability.

Nimmo was diagnosed with a bruised right quadriceps after leaving Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Nimmo was hit by his own foul ball during the seventh inning and didn't take the field for the following frame, but it doesn't appear to be a serious injury. According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, the 29-year-old hopes to be back in the lineup for Wednesday's contest, so he may not miss any time.

Nimmo was removed from Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals after fouling a pitch off his foot, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

The 29-year-old was 1-for-8 with a double across both games before fouling a pitch off his foot during the seventh inning of the nightcap, and he didn't take the field for the bottom of the frame. Nimmo should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated.

Nimmo went 2-for-5 with a triple, a double, three RBI and a strikeout in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Mariners.

Nimmo extended his hit streak to 11 games during Sunday's matchup, and he drove in his first runs since May 5 while recording two extra-base hits against the Mariners. Over the last seven games, the 29-year-old has hit .423 with a triple, three doubles, five runs and three RBI.

Nimmo went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to the Nationals.

Things looked good early for the Mets after Nimmo's double on the fifth pitch of the game sparked a three-run rally, but things quickly fell apart after that. The 29-year-old outfielder has hit safely in seven straight games and reached base safely in 21 straight starts, fueling a .286/.402/.439 slash line on the season with three homers, nine RBI and 17 runs.

Nimmo went 3-for-6 with two walks and two runs scored across both games of Sunday's doubleheader split against the Phillies.

Hitting leadoff in both contests, Nimmo continues to excel as the table-setter for a Mets squad that's the first in the majors to 20 wins. After reaching base safely in 20 straight starts, he's slashing .270/.393/.427 on the season with three homers, nine RBI and 16 runs.

Nimmo is out of the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with Atlanta.

The Mets are likely just building in some rest for Nimmo during the doubleheader, as the 29-year-old had started in each of the past seven games while going 5-for-28 with a home run and five walks. Travis Jankowski will get the nod in center field and serve as the Mets' table setter in Game 1 of the twin bill, but expect Nimmo to check back into the lineup for the nightcap.

Nimmo went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-2 win over the Cardinals.

One pitch after Dominic Smith has put the Mets in the lead with two outs in the ninth inning by beating out an infield single, Nimmo gave his squad some insurance by pulling a T.J. McFarland offering down the right-field line. The homer was Nimmo's third in 14 games to begin the season, and he's also slashing .292/.393/.563 with five RBI and 10 runs.

Nimmo is not in the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Nimmo didn't start Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader after being activated off the injured list, but he started the past five games and will receive Sunday off. Travis Jankowski will roam center field in the series finale for the Mets.

Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a walk in Wednesday's loss to the Giants.

After going 0-for-3 with a walk in his return to the starting lineup Tuesday following a brief stint on the COVID-19 injured list, Nimmo was back to making regular appearances on the basepaths. The 29-year-old outfielder has a .432 OBP through nine games this season and has scored seven runs, and his .323 batting average and .613 SLG aren't bad either. Nimmo has been the leadoff hitter for all of his starts, and that doesn't seem likely to change any time soon.

The Mets reinstated Nimmo (illness) from the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday, but he's not included in the lineup for the first game of the team's doubleheader with the Giants, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo was apparently able to pass the final stages of MLB's COVID-19 testing protocols earlier Tuesday, but the Mets will ease him back in as a reserve option for the front end of the twin bill since he hasn't played since last Wednesday. Nick Plummer was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse to create room on the active roster for Nimmo, who could re-enter the starting nine for the nightcap Tuesday.

Nimmo (illness) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday as part of an outbreak within the clubhouse, but he's asymptomatic. He'll be able to rejoin the team as soon as he tests negative, but Nick Plummer and Matt Reynolds were called up to provide additional depth in his absence.

Nimmo has tested positive for COVID-19, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Nimmo wasn't in the lineup for Friday's home opener against the Diamondbacks and will need to spend some time away from the team following his positive test. He's asymptomatic, but a timetable for his return isn't yet clear. Travis Jankowski is starting in center field Friday and should see additional playing time while Nimmo is sidelined.

Nimmo isn't starting Friday's game against the Diamondbacks.

The Mets reportedly have several close contacts on the team after a staff member tested positive for COVID-19, but it's not yet clear whether Nimmo is one of those players. He had swung a hot bat recently, going 4-for-10 with two homers, three runs, two RBI and three walks in his last three appearances. Travis Jankowski will start in center field and bat eighth.

Nimmo went 1-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run in Wednesday's 9-6 win over the Phillies.

The Mets' leadoff hitter flashed his full arsenal at the plate, with his third inning blast off Aaron Nola being his second homer in as many days. Nimmo has reached base an impressive 12 times in six games to begin the season, reeling off eight hits including a double, a triple and two home runs while drawing four free passes.

Nimmo went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Phillies.

He took Zack Wheeler deep in the fifth inning, giving Nimmo his first homer of the year and breaking open a scoreless tie. The 29-year-old is off to a strong start to the season from the top of the Mets' batting order, posting a .333/.391/.619 slash line with five runs scored through five games.

Nimmo (neck) is starting in center field and batting leadoff Friday against the Nationals.

Nimmo didn't see the field Opening Day while recovering from neck stiffness, but he'll take his usual spot atop the order for New York in the second game of the season. The 29-year-old was effective in 2021 with a .292/.401/.437 slash line, but he was limited to 92 games as injuries continued to limit his availability.

Nimmo (neck) is out of the lineup for Thursday's season opener in Washington, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo seemingly demonstrated enough progress during an extended workout Wednesday to avoid going on the 10-day injured list, but he'll need at least one more day to recover from a stiff neck. The Mets will keep Starling Marte in right field for Thursday's game and instead shift Mark Canha over from left to cover Nimmo's usual spot in center.

Nimmo took batting practice and shagged fly balls Wednesday, noting after the workout that he's "a lot more optimistic" about his chances of being available for Thursday's Opening Day game against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo admitted he still wasn't sure whether he'll be part of the Opening Day lineup, but his positive workout one day after receiving a cortisone injection to ease the stiffness in his neck suggests that he's at least likely to avoid a stint on the injured list to begin the season. With rain in the forecast for Washington, D.C. ahead of Thursday's 4:05 p.m. ET first pitch, Nimmo could be hoping for a postponement to give him an extra day to heal up before the Mets play their first game.

Nimmo received a cortisone-type injection in his neck Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The injection was administered in hopes that Nimmo could play as soon as possible, but he's not guaranteed to be ready for Opening Day. Mark Canha and Starling Marte both have experience playing center field, so the Mets should have no issue filling Nimmo's spot if he's forced to miss time. Dominic Smith would likely start in left field if that happens, though that job could also go to J.D. Davis on Opening Day against lefty Patrick Corbin if the Mets are comfortable using Davis in the outfield, something which didn't happen last season.

Mets manager Buck Showalter said Monday that Nimmo won't play in either of the team's final two Grapefruit League games due to a stiff neck, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The Mets are hopeful that by holding Nimmo out of the lineup for the next two days, he'll show enough improvement to be ready to make the start in center field in Thursday's season opener in Washington. If Nimmo remains out for Opening Day, a spot in the outfield could open up for Dominic Smith, as Mark Canha would likely shift over from his normal spot in left to cover center field for Nimmo in that scenario.

Nimmo (thumb) will start in center field and bat leadoff in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins.

Nimmo's sore thumb proved to be only a minor concern, as he missed just two days as a result of the injury. Though he's getting the nod in center field Tuesday, he could see most of his action at one of the two corner-outfield spots in 2022 after the Mets picked up Starling Marte in free agency this offseason.

Nimmo is out of the lineup Sunday due to thumb soreness, but he will return to the lineup Tuesday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Nimmo has already gotten plenty of playing time this spring, logging 14 plate appearances across four games. Assuming he is able to return to the lineup Tuesday as expected, the issue should not affect his Opening Day status.

Nimmo signed a one-year, $7 million contract with the Mets on Tuesday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

Nimmo is in his final year of arbitration eligibility and is scheduled to hit free agency at the end of the season. He slashed .292/.401/.437 last season but was limited to 92 games in 2021 due to hip, finger and hamstring injuries.

Nimmo went 3-for-4 in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Milwaukee.

The outfielder accounted for half of the Mets' hits in the contest. Saturday was Nimmo's third multi-hit game in seven contests since he returned from a hamstring injury. The 28-year-old has posted a .305 batting average this year across 84 games, while adding six home runs, 24 RBI, 47 runs scored and five stolen bases.

Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a triple and an additional run scored in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Phillies.

Nimmo tripled off Aaron Nola in the sixth inning, and scored the only run against the starter. In addition, he slammed a solo home run in the eighth inning off Hector Neris. It was his first extra-base hit in 13 games since Aug. 21. The 28-year-old is slashing .303/.418/.431 with six long balls, 24 RBI, 45 runs and five steals in 329 plate appearances this season.

Nimmo (hamstring) has been activated off the 10-day injured list and is starting Friday against the Phillies, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Nimmo landed on the shelf Sept. 4 with a strained right hamstring, but he'll rejoin the active roster after being sidelined for little more than the 10-day minimum. The 28-year-old was 6-fo-13 with two walks, an RBI, four runs and a stolen base in his previous four games before going down with the injury.

Nimmo (hamstring) could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list for the team's weekend series against the Phillies, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Nimmo participated in live batting practice ahead of Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, and manager Luis Rojas was pleased with the outfielder's performance. While Rojas didn't indicate whether the 28-year-old will be available for Friday's series opener, his return is imminent following a quick recovery process.

Nimmo (hamstring) will hit on the field Wednesday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Nimmo's hitting session will be the final step in his recovery process, and he hopes to rejoin the Mets for Friday's series opener against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. The 28-year-old has made a speedy recovery since he landed on the 10-day IL on Sept. 4 and has participated in running, hitting and throwing drills across the last few days.

Nimmo (hamstring) said Wednesday that he's hopeful to return from the 10-day injured list late next week, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Nimmo is first eligible to return from the injured list Sept. 15 against the Cardinals, but with the Mets having an open date in their schedule the following day, the outfielder is most likely targeting the series in Philadelphia next weekend for his return to the lineup. Since being shut down with a right hamstring strain a few days ago, Nimmo has already resumed jogging, hitting and throwing.

Nimmo (hamstring) said Wednesday that he's ahead of schedule in his recovery, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Nimmo was placed on the 10-day IL with a right hamstring strain Saturday, and he's already resumed jogging. The outfielder didn't say whether he expects to return after spending 10 days on the shelf, but he's trending toward a relatively brief absence.

Nimmo was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain Saturday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Nimmo exited the first game of the day with what was originally called right hamstring tightness. The diagnosis has since been updated to a strain, an injury serious enough to sideline him for at least 10 days. Whether or not he'll miss more than 10 days remains to be seen. Travis Blankenhorn was called up to take his place on the roster.

Nimmo left the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals with right hamstring tightness, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo was busy early, notching two hits and a stolen base in the first inning and a half of Saturday's matinee, but that production came at a cost. With every team having a couple extra roster spots in September, the Mets can probably afford to wait a few days and gauge Nimmo's progress before making a call on his roster status.

Nimmo left the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals in the second inning, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

It was not obvious what was ailing Nimmo, but he was replaced in center field by Albert Almora. Perhaps he was injured on his successful steal attempt in the top of the second. Nimmo's availability for the nightcap is uncertain. He went 2-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored prior to exiting.

Nimmo went 0-for-1 with two walks, two hit-by-pitches and a stolen base in Sunday's 9-4 win over Washington.

That's getting on base four times the hard way, as both Washington starter Erick Fedde and reliever Sam Clay plunked Nimmo in the contest. The outfielder added his fourth stolen base of the year, but he wasn't able to score a run for all his trouble. He's slashing .287/.411/.393 with four home runs, 20 RBI, 37 runs scored and 14 doubles through 300 plate appearances.

Nimmo went 3-for-5 in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Giants.

Nimmo racked up a trio of singles atop the New York lineup and is now hitting a blistering .412 (14-34) over his last eight contests, producing multi-hit efforts in half of them. For the season, the 28-year-old is slashing .294/.413/.403 with four homers and 20 RBI in 297 plate appearances.

Nimmo went 2-for-3 with two runs and two walks in a 7-2 triumph against the Dodgers on Sunday.

Nimmo walked and scored in the first inning, walked again in the second, singled in the fifth and singled and scored in the ninth to reach base four times for the first time since July 18. The productive outing extended the outfielder's hitting streak to a modest five games, a stretch that's seen Nimmo go 9-for-22 and bump his average from .275 to .288.

Nimmo went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Dodgers.

The outfielder was responsible for the Mets' first run, knocking a solo shot off Dodgers ace Max Scherzer in the fifth inning. Nimmo hasn't provided much in the way of counting stats this year with four homers, 20 RBI, 35 runs scored and two stolen bases. He's added 14 doubles and a .283/.401/.399 slash line across 268 plate appearances. He has a meager two long balls, five RBI and nine runs scored through 20 games in August.

Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run during Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Nationals. He then went 0-for-4 in Game 2.

Nimmo's three-run shot during the second inning proved to be the difference as the Mets beat the Nationals 4-1 in the first game of the day. It was the 28-year-old's first home run and only his second RBI since he last went deep July 17, which was a span of 21 games. He has a .286/.411/.405 slash line with three long balls, 13 doubles, 18 RBI, 30 runs and two stolen bases in 55 games this season.

Nimmo is not starting Thursday's game against the Marlins, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The 28-year-old gets the afternoon off before the Mets head to Philadelphia for a three-game set. Nimmo has cooled off a bit since his post-injury surge, hitting .233 with six walks and just one extra-base hit in his last 10 games. Albert Almora is starting in center field and batting eighth Thursday.

Nimmo (hamstring) is leading off and playing center field Tuesday against the Marlins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo was set to return to the lineup Monday but was later scratched because of the hamstring issue that has been bothering him since Friday. He appears to feel at least slightly better, as he's back in the starting nine Tuesday.

Nimmo (hamstring) was scratched from Monday's starting lineup against the Marlins.

Nimmo was initially listed in the starting nine for Monday's series opener, but the team has since announced a lineup change. The outfielder has been dealing with a sore hamstring over the last few days, so it would appear he's not yet at full strength. Kevin Pillar draws another start in center field as a result.

Nimmo (hamstring) is starting Monday's game against the Marlins, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Nimmo had been out of the lineup in each last two games while dealing with left hamstring soreness, but he'll be back in action for Monday's series opener. The 28-year-old has gone 3-for-8 with a double, three runs, two walks and three strikeouts across his last three appearances.

Nimmo (hamstring) said he thinks he'll be available off the bench for Sunday's game against the Reds before returning to the lineup for Monday's series opener in Miami, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Nimmo's sore left hamstring will keep him out of the starting nine for the second straight game, but he was apparently satisfied with how he felt after testing out the injury early Sunday. Kevin Pillar will fill in for Nimmo in center field Sunday, but the latter could be ready to go for the Mets' upcoming four-game series in Miami.

Nimmo (hamstring) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Reds, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo will be held out of the lineup for the second consecutive game after leaving Friday's contest with the hamstring issue. Kevin Pillar will roam center field in his place for Sunday's series finale.

Nimmo (hamstring) is not starting Saturday's game against the Reds, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

The center fielder exited Friday's contest after feeling a pinch in his hamstring. It's unclear whether Nimmo, who has hit .282 and drawn 20 walks since returning from a shoulder injury July 3, will be available off the bench Saturday.

Manager Luis Rojas said Nimmo felt a "pinch" in his hamstring in the ninth inning of Friday's loss to the Reds, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo went 1-for-3 with a run, a walk and two strikeouts Friday, but he sustained his injury while making a diving catch in the ninth inning. He was able to remain the game and is considered day-to-day since Rojas described the injury as "something really, really small."

Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Thursday's 6-3 loss to Atlanta.

The 28-year-old continues to be an on-base machine. Over 13 games since the All-Star break, Nimmo is slashing .250/.459/.364 with nine runs and a 16:17 BB:K. His one homer and two RBI over that stretch are less appealing from a fantasy perspective, but his spot at the top of the Mets' order limits his opportunities to drive in runs.

Nimmo went 1-for-2 with a solo homer and three walks Saturday against the Pirates.

Nimmo got a hold of a Clay Holmes offering in the top of the ninth to give the Mets a 7-5 lead. It was the second homer of the year for Nimmo, who added a trio of walks to up his on-base percentage to .423. A career .258 hitter entering the season, Nimmo is hitting .312 over 131 plate appearances on the year.

Nimmo (shoulder) went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 13-4 win over Pittsburgh.

Nimmo was set to rest Thursday, but rain postponed the contest. He was good to go Friday, and he was able to make a solid impact from the leadoff spot. The outfielder is 5-for-12 with three doubles in his last four games. He's slashing .337/.430/.457 with one home run, 13 RBI, 14 runs scored, two stolen bases and eight doubles through 108 plate appearances overall.

Nimmo (shoulder) is batting leadoff and starting in center field Friday against the Pirates, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Nimmo was withheld from Thursday's starting nine due to left shoulder soreness before the contest was postponed, and he's back in the lineup Friday after the day off.

Nimmo was on the bench for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against Milwaukee and finds himself on the bench again Thursday. Kevin Pillar will receive another start in center field in his place.

Nimmo is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Brewers.

Nimmo hit leadoff in the matinee and went 1-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two strikeouts, and he'll take a seat for the nightcap with lefty Brett Anderson starting for Milwaukee. Kevin Pillar will patrol center field in his place.

Nimmo isn't starting Tuesday against the Brewers, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo was reinstated from the 10-day IL on Friday, and he was in the lineup for each of the last four games. He went 7-for-18 with a double, four runs and three RBI during that time, and he'll get a breather Tuesday. Kevin Pillar will start in center field and bat sixth.

Nimmo went 2-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored in a victory over the Yankees in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader.

In two games since being activated off the injured list, the 28-year-old has gone 5-for-11 (.455) with three runs scored and three RBI. For the year, he's slashing .338/.433/.442 through 91 plate appearances.

Nimmo (finger) went 3-for-6 with a pair of runs scored Saturday against the Yankees.

Back from his two-month injury absence, Nimmo was slotted into the leadoff spot and responded with a trio of singles, coming around two score after two of them. Nimmo's return adds a high on-base element to the top of the New York and it's certainly a welcome site for fantasy managers; Nimmo is now slashing .333/.435/.444 with a pair of steals in his 22 games this season. He can be a multi-category contributor the rest of the way if he can avoid the injury bug.

Nimmo (finger) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is batting leadoff Friday against the Yankees.

The 28-year-old will rejoin the lineup Friday after being sidelined for two months with a sprained finger on his left hand. Nimmo will work in center field and should reclaim the everyday role there if he can stay healthy. He slashed .318/.430/.439 with a homer, five doubles, eight RBI and two stolen bases in 22 games before going down with the injury.

Nimmo (finger) will remain at Triple-A Syracuse to continue his rehab assignment this week before potentially being activated this weekend, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Nimmo was previously expected to be reinstated from the injured list Tuesday, but the Mets want to see him get a bit more work at Triple-A before bringing him back to the big-league roster. He's 5-for-19 with a double, four walks and four runs in six games with Syracuse so far on the rehab assignment.

Nimmo (finger) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday in Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The 28-year-old has been with Triple-A Syracuse for the past week on a rehab assignment, and he's gone 4-for-16 with a double, two walks and four runs in five games. Nimmo has been on the shelf since early May after suffering a small ligament tear near the base of his left index finger, but he's now on the cusp of rejoining the Mets.

Manager Luis Rojas said he expects Nimmo (finger) to be activated from the injured list sometime next week, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

The 28-year-old picked up his rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse last weekend, and he's gone 2-for-7 with a walk and three runs across three appearances. The Mets begin a road trip Monday at Washington, and Nimmo is expected to rejoin the big-league roster after a couple more appearances in the minors.

Nimmo (finger) could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list during the Mets' upcoming road trip, which is scheduled to begin Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Nimmo restarted his rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, and he's gone 1-for-4 with two runs and a walk across two games. He's expected to remain with the minor-league club through the weekend, but he could rejoin the Mets as early as Monday. The 28-year-old hit .318 with a home run, eight RBI, seven runs and two stolen bases in 22 major-league games prior to his injury, and he should take over as the primary center fielder once he's cleared to return.

Nimmo (finger) will start in center field and bat leadoff in a rehab game Sunday for Triple-A Syracuse, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.

Nimmo will be making his first appearance for Syracuse -- and playing in his first game at any level -- since May 13, after his initial rehab assignment with the Triple-A affiliate was paused when he felt some renewed pain in the sprained finger on his left hand. Five weeks later, Nimmo is feeling healthy again, and he should be ready to return from the 10-day injured list at some point later this week once he ramps up a bit at Triple-A. Along with Nimmo, Michael Conforto (hamstring) is in the midst of a rehab assignment at Syracuse, so the Mets should soon be back to full strength in the outfield.

Manager Luis Rojas said Nimmo (finger) could begin a rehab assignment next week, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The 28-year-old progressed to taking batting practice this week and is nearing the final stages of his rehab work. Nimmo hasn't seen game action since early May and figures to require a handful of games in the minors to get back up to game speed. Depending when he begins the rehab stint, the outfielder could be activated by the end of June or early July.

Nimmo (finger) took batting practice on the field Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

The 28-year-old resumed light swinging last week and has now progressed to full swings in batting practice as he returns from a small ligament tear near the base of his left index finger. According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, Nimmo could begin a rehab assignment in the near future if he can avoid any setbacks in his rehab work.

Nimmo (finger) hopes to head out on a rehab assignment next week, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Upon receiving a second opinion, Nimmo learned that he is not dealing with a nerve issue but actually a small ligament tear near the base of his left index finger. It should heal on its own. He appears to be tracking toward a late-June activation from the injured list if he avoids setbacks.

Nimmo (finger) has resumed swinging, although at a low intensity, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Nimmo unsuccessfully tried to hit off a tee and soft toss last week , but had to stop because his bruised finger continued to cause him pain. He's resumed swinging, though it doesn't appear that he's close to facing high-velocity pitching. With that being said, a late-June return remains a best-case scenario for the outfielder.

Nimmo (finger) has no timetable for a new rehab assignment, Deesha Thosar of The New York Daily News reports.

According to manager Luis Rojas on Tuesday, Nimmo recently attempted to hit off a tee and take soft toss from a coach but his finger was still bothering him. The outfielder last saw action May 13 at Triple-A Syracuse before that rehab stint was cut short, and he'll need a couple weeks to get back into game shape once he's finally comfortable swinging a bat again.

Nimmo (finger) left his rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse and is rejoining the Mets to receive treatment, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

The 28-year-old began the rehab stint Thursday but was out of the lineup for Syracuse the past two days while feeling some pain in his bruised finger, leading to him rejoining the big-league club to reassess. Manager Luis Rojas said Nimmo won't take at-bats or resume a rehab assignment until the he's "100 percent pain-free," so the outfielder can be considered out indefinitely for the time being.

Nimmo (finger) remains out of the lineup for Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Nimmo began a rehab assignment Thursday but felt pain in his bruised left index finger during that game and was held out of Friday's contest. The Mets hoped for merely a one-day absence but he'll wind up missing at least one more game. His expected return to the active roster won't become clear until he gets through a rehab game or two without issues.

Nimmo felt some pain in his bruised finger during a rehab at-bat for Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday and won't play in Friday's game, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Nimmo looked to be nearly ready to return after beginning a rehab assignment Thursday, but his rehab has been put on hold for at least a day. It's not yet clear if he's suffered a significant setback or if he'll be just one day behind schedule.

Nimmo (finger) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Nimmo will play center field and lead off for the Triple-A club Thursday. The 28-year-old is eligible to be activated from the 10-day injured list as early as Friday, but it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to major-league game action.

Nimmo (finger) is taking full swings and is closer to coming off the injured list than J.D. Davis (hand), Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

This is an encouraging report from manager Luis Rojas, as it pertains to Nimmo. He suffered a bone bruise on his left index finger May 1. It is unclear if he will require a rehab assignment before being activated.

Nimmo (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list after Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The 28-year-old hadn't returned to the field since suffering a finger bruise on his left hand Saturday, and he'll now make his way to the injured list. Nimmo could rejoin the team late next week if he only spends the 10-day minimum on the shelf. Kevin Pillar is starting in Game 2 and figures to see the bulk of the time in center field during his absence for the Mets.

Nimmo (finger) isn't starting Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Nimmo will miss a third straight game due to a bruised left finger. Manager Luis Rojas said that the team will evaluate Nimmo's availability off the bench for Wednesday's matinee. Albert Almora will take over in center field and bat eighth.

Nimmo (finger) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

It's the third straight absence for the 28-year-old since suffering a bruised left finger Saturday. Kevin Pillar receives another start in center field in Nimmo's absence for the Mets.

Nimmo will sit Monday against the Cardinals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo underwent an X-ray on his left index finger Saturday after leaving that day's game against the Phillies with an injury. The X-rays were negative, but he'll sit for the second game in a row Monday. Kevin Pillar will start in center field.

Nimmo (finger) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The 28-year-old suffered a bruised finger during Saturday's game and appeared to be in considerable pain, so it's not a major surprise to see him sitting out the series finale. Nimmo had X-rays come back negative after leaving the game and should be considered day-to-day.

Nimmo had X-rays come back negative on his left index finger and was diagnosed with a contusion after exiting Saturday's game against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The 28-year-old appeared to be in considerable pain when he sustained the injury during the seventh inning Saturday, so it's a sigh of relief that he didn't suffer a fracture or aggravate the hip issue he dealt with earlier in the week. Nimmo should be considered day-to-day for the time being, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him receive the day off for Sunday's series finale.

Nimmo exited Saturday's game against the Phillies with an apparent injury, SportsNet New York reports.

The 28-year-old doubled over in pain after fouling off a pitching during the seventh inning, and he quickly left the field after a chat with the athletic trainer. He received an injection earlier in the week to address a hip impingement, and he may have aggravated that injury Saturday. Nimmo should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated by the Mets.

Nimmo (hip) is starting Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Nimmo sat out Tuesday's game due to a mild right hip impingement but will start in center field and lead off for the series finale. Nimmo said ahead of the game that he feels 95 percent healthy and hopes that he'll be available going forward, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Nimmo has a mild right hip impingement and is out Tuesday after getting a shot to alleviate the discomfort, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Jose Peraza was recalled from the alternate training site to provide some short-term depth. The Mets will likely see how Nimmo's hip responds to the shot before determining when he can return to action.

Nimmo went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Friday's 6-0 win over the Nationals.

The outfielder capped a big day at the plate with his first homer of the season, a two-run shot in the eighth inning. Nimmo has had a blistering start to the year despite the lack of power, slashing .408/.491/.551 through 14 games with seven runs and eight RBI.

Nimmo (hip) will lead off and play center field Friday against the Nationals.

Nimmo sat for a pair of games while dealing with a minor hip issue, though he was able to make an appearance off the bench Thursday. He'll reclaim his spot atop the Mets' order Friday and will look to build on his strong .386/.481/.455 line through his first 14 games.

Nimmo (hip) isn't starting Thursday's game against the Cubs, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo is still dealing with right hip stiffness, so he'll be held out of the lineup as a precautionary measure for a second straight game. Kevin Pillar will take his place in center field Thursday, batting eighth.

Mets manager Luis Rojas said Nimmo was excluded from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs due to a stiff right hip, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Nimmo is expected to be available off the bench, so the hip issue doesn't appear to be a major concern. Kevin Pillar will pick up the start in center field with Nimmo out of the lineup for the first time in the Mets' 13 games this season.

Nimmo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Nimmo had started each of the Mets' first 12 games, producing a monstrous .490 on-base percentage while hitting out of the leadoff spot in each of the past 11 contests. He'll likely be getting a pre-planned rest day Wednesday, allowing Kevin Pillar to pick up a start in the outfield. Second baseman Jeff McNeil replaces Nimmo atop the order.

Nimmo went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Phillies.

It's the third three-hit performance in the last five games for Nimmo, who just keeps getting on base. The 28-year-old sports a .464 batting average (13-for-28) and .583 OBP through eight games from the top of the Mets' order, but with most of the rest of the offense having sluggish starts to the year, he's only crossed the plate four times so far.

Nimmo went 3-for-6 with two walks, a run scored and three RBI across both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader as the Mets swept the Phillies.

The 28-year-old did a great job setting the table as the Mets' leadoff hitter in both games, drawing two free passes and scoring in the opener before lacing three singles and driving in three runs in the nightcap. Nimmo has reached base multiple times in all seven games to begin the season, and while he's still looking for his first homer. he boasts a scorching .435/.581/.565 slash line.

Nimmo went 3-for-5 with two doubles Thursday against the Marlins.

Nimmo led off the bottom of the first inning with a double -- his first extra-base hit of the campaign. He added a single and an additional double to record his second consecutive multi-hit game. Nimmo has also already drawn five walks in four contests, putting him in a strong position to rack up runs as the team's primary leadoff hitter against right-handed pitching.

Nimmo has gone 12-for-39 (.308) this spring with two doubles, a triple, a home run, a stolen base and a 6:10 BB:K this spring.

The 27-year-old appears ticketed for the leadoff spot thanks to his .390 career OBP and 15.1 percent walk rate, and Nimmo has flashed his patience once again in Grapefruit League action. With Francisco Lindor added to the lineup behind him, Nimmo could threaten 100 runs scored in 2021 if he can stay healthy.

Manager Luis Rojas said Monday that Nimmo is the most likely candidate to serve as the Mets' primary leadoff man in 2021, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Durability and defense remain concerns for Nimmo heading into his sixth season in the majors, but his ability to draw walks at sky-high rates often makes up for those shortcomings. He's posted walk rates above 14 percent in each of the past four years, boosting his career on-base percentage to .390. Nimmo's ability to get on base make him an ideal fit in the leadoff role, and if he stays healthy and sits atop the lineup throughout the campaign, he should be a plus source of runs while hitting in front of an improved Mets lineup that now includes Francisco Lindor. Rojas mentioned Lindor, Jonathan Villar, Jeff McNeil and Kevin Pillar as other players that he's considered for the leadoff gig, but Nimmo remains in the driver's seat for those duties.

Nimmo signed a one-year, $4.7 million contract with the Mets on Friday to avoid arbitration, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The 27-year-old appeared in only 69 games during 2019, but he played 55 of 60 games last season and had a .280/.404/.484 slash line with eight homers. Nimmo is expected to start in center field for the Mets in 2021, barring any additional additions in free agency.

Nimmo is not in Thursday's lineup against the Nationals.

He will head to the bench with lefty Patrick Corbin on the hill for Washington. Guillermo Heredia will start in center field and bat eighth.

Nimmo will sit Tuesday against lefty Blake Snell and the Rays.

Nimmo wasn't being platooned earlier in the year, but he's now been in the lineup against just one of the seven lefties the Mets have faced thus far in September. Guillermo Heredia gets the nod in center field in his absence.

Nimmo will be on the bench Friday against the Braves.

Nimmo sits with lefty Max Fried on the mound for Atlanta. Jake Marisnick (hamstring) starts in center field.

Nimmo went 3-for-4 with a home run, a triple, three RBI and a walk in Thursday's win over the Phillies.

Nimmo came up with a pair of big hits in the contest. The first was a two-run triple with two outs in the sixth inning to tie the score at six. Then, with the game still knotted in the ninth, Nimmo blasted a solo shot to right field off Brandon Workman to push New York ahead. The big game continued a strong stretch for Nimmo, who has collected seven multi-hit efforts since Sept. 6. He is batting .400 (16-for-40) with three homers and six RBI over that span.

Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Phillies.

He took Jake Arrieta deep in the fifth inning for the Mets' only offense of the night. Nimmo continues to do his part at the top of the order, slashing .263/.388/.468 through 44 games with seven homers, 13 RBI and 29 runs.

Nimmo slugged one of five long balls on the day for the Mets, who rolled to their biggest run total and largest margin of victory of the season. He'll start in center field and bat leadoff in Monday's series finale with the Phillies, who will bring right-hander and ex-Met Zack Wheeler to the hill.

Nimmo will sit against lefty John Means and the Orioles on Wednesday.

Nimmo hasn't been platooned this season, as Wednesday's off day marks just the third time he's been on the bench against a lefty. Jake Marisnick will start in center field in his absence.

Nimmo isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

Nimmo went 0-for-4 with a walk, one run and four strikeouts in Sunday's matinee, and he'll take a seat for Game 2. Jake Marisnick will start in center field.

Nimmo is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

Nimmo started the past 14 games and went 15-for-53 during that stretch, but he'll take a seat for Friday's matinee. Jake Marisnick (hamstring) was activated off the injured list and will start in center field Game 1.

Nimmo is not in Thursday's starting lineup against the Marlins.

Nimmo will take a seat on the bench for Thursday's series finale following a string of 14 consecutive starts during which he went 15-for-53 (.283) with four home runs and a 9:9 BB:K. Billy Hamilton is covering center field and hitting ninth in his stead.

Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Marlins.

Nimmo went 3-for-5 with a triple, a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Marlins.

He took rookie Humberto Mejia deep in the third inning for his fourth homer of the year. The 27-year-old continues to thrive at the top of the Mets' batting order, and Nimmo is slashing .297/.447/.676 over his last 10 games with a 9:5 BB:K, a double, two triples, three home runs, five RBI and seven runs.

Nimmo went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run Wednesday in the Mets' 11-6 win over the Nationals.

The big day at the plate helped Nimmo break a 3-for-26 skid through the Mets' first 10 games of August. The disciplined Nimmo still managed to rack up 13 walks during that stretch, allowing him to carry a robust .438 on-base percentage into Thursday's series finale. He'll start in center field and lead off for the Mets.

Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 16-4 loss to the Nationals.

He took Sean Doolittle deep in the ninth inning when the game was already long decided. Nimmo came into the game having gone just 2-for-20 over his last eight contests, although that "slump" came with 11 walks. On the season, the 27-year-old is slashing .226/.423/.337 with two homers, five RBI and 12 runs in 17 games.

Nimmo is not in the lineup Saturday against Miami, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Nimmo sits with lefty Daniel Castano starting for the Marlins, though there's no evidence that he'll be slipping into a platoon role any time soon, as he'd been in the lineup for each of the Mets' first 14 games this season. Billy Hamilton gets the nod in center field in his absence.

Nimmo went 0-for-2 with three walks and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Nationals.

Neither team produced much offense -- there were only 12 total hits in the game, none longer than a double -- so Nimmo's ability to get on base from the top of the Mets' order proved to be crucial. The 27-year-old is hitting only .227 (10-for-44) through 13 games, but he has 12 walks and three HBP to fuel a robust .424 OBP.

Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Red Sox.

His fifth-inning shot off Nathan Eovaldi was Nimmo's first homer of the season. The 27-year-old is off to a strong start at the plate, posting a .286/.400/.524 slash line through six games.

Nimmo will lead off and play center field for Friday's season opener against the Braves.

A neck issue limited Nimmo to just 69 games last season, and his numbers dipped from his breakout 2018 campaign, though his .221/.375/.407 slash line was still good for a solidly above-average 114 wRC+. He doesn't have the speed of a traditional leadoff man, as he's never reached double-digit steals, but his lifetime 15.2 percent walk rate and .387 on-base percentage make him an excellent table-setter. If he leads off consistently for the Mets this season, he should have plenty of opportunities to score with the likes of Jeff McNeil, Pete Alonso, Michael Conforto and Yoenis Cespedes hitting behind him.

Nimmo appeared healthy and productive in spring training before MLB was put on pause, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

The outfielder had a health scare in late February due to an irregular heartbeat, but after Nimmo underwent cardiac tests, the issue wasn't deemed to be one which would affect him on the field. He went out and proved it once he returned to action, posting a .379/.455/.552 slash line through 33 plate appearances. His OBP skills should keep him near the top of the Mets' batting order most days once the regular season begins, and while his fantasy production probably won't jump off the page, he could be a sneaky source of runs as a result.

Nimmo (chest) is back in the lineup Friday against the Cardinals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo was scratched Wednesday for cardiac tests. Per Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record, tests revealed an irregular heartbeat, but not one which is expected to affect Nimmo's ability to play. The situation appeared potentially worrisome, but he was cleared to return to action the next day and is already back in the lineup, so it doesn't seem as though his preparation for the upcoming season will be significantly impacted.

Nimmo (chest) has been cleared to resume baseball activities, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Nimmo was sent for additional tests by the team's cardiologist, but he's since been cleared to return to action. Expect the outfielder to appear in a spring game within the next few days.

Nimmo's removal from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros for cardiac tests is considered purely precautionary, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Manager Luis Rojas said he didn't know why exactly the team's cardiologist ordered additional tests for the outfielder. The Mets don't currently appear particularly concerned about the issue, though the full picture won't become clear until the tests are complete.

Nimmo was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against Houston to undergo cardiac screening, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

It's unclear what triggered the need for tests. Nimmo's expected return timeline should become clear once the results of the tests are known.

Nimmo was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

No reason for Nimmo's removal was given. He left Saturday's game against the Marlins after getting hit by a pitch. While he returned to the lineup Monday, it's possible the issue is still bothering him.

Nimmo (undisclosed) will start in center field and bat second in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The 26-year-old sat out Sunday's game against the Cardinals after being hit by a pitch a day earlier, but the one-day respite was apparently all Nimmo needed to move past the plunking. Nimmo's 2019 campaign was derailed by injury, but now that he's ostensibly healthy again, he looks poised to occupy at least a large-side platoon role in the New York outfield this season.

Nimmo (undisclosed) is not in the lineup for Sunday's spring game, according to Tim Healey of Newsday.

Nimmo was removed from Saturday's spring game after being hit by a pitch, and he will get at least one full day to rest and recover before returning to game action.

Nimmo exited Saturday's game against the Marlins for precautionary reasons after getting hit by a pitch, Andersen Pickard of MLB Daily Dish reports.

The Mets don't appear to be concerned about the issue, but the team has little reason not to be overly cautious this early in spring. The nature of Nimmo's minor injury is not yet clear.

Nimmo and the Mets agreed to a one-year, $2.175 million contract Friday, avoiding arbitration, freelance baseball writer Robert Murray reports.

Nimmo struggled earlier in the season before a neck injury sidelined him for over half the year. He rebounded well in September, giving him a .221/.375/.407 slash line (114 wRC+) in 69 games overall.
