New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo is out of the lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday with a sore wrist. Manager Buck Showalter said that it's a "day-to-day" thing and that there is no structural damage. Nimmo will receive a cortisone injection Saturday and will miss the weekend, but intends to return on Monday. That is good news for fantasy managers, as Nimmo has been on a roll this season, slashing .293/.386/.452 as the Mets primary leadoff hitter.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (quad) has been diagnosed with a bruised right quad. According to Mets manager Buck Showalter, Nimmo is day-to-day. Nimmo suffered the injury in Game 2 of the team's doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday after he fouled a ball off of his leg. After the game, Nimmo underwent X-rays that came back negative. He stated that his availability for Wednesday's game will depend on how he feels in the morning. This is all good news for fantasy managers as it appears Nimmo may not even miss a game due to this injury. The 29-year-old is off to a great start to the year, slashing .292/.397/.458 with three home runs, 12 RBI and 20 runs over 33 games.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (foot) was removed from Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the St. Cardinals after fouling a pitch off his foot. He went 1-for-8 with a double across both games before exiting Game 2 early. The severity of Nimmo's foot injury is unknown at this time, and he's considered day-to-day. This season, Nimmo has been solid for fantasy managers, slashing .292/.397/.458 with three home runs, 12 RBI, and 20 runs scored over 33 games in 2022. Stay tuned for further updates.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo isn't starting the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves. Right-hander Charlie Morton is on the mound for Atlanta. The 29-year-old will head to the bench with Travis Jankowski starting in center field and batting leadoff instead. Nimmo is batting .254 with a .369 on-base percentage and three home runs in 85 plate appearances this season. Jankowski, meanwhile, is hitting .318 with a .400 on-base percentage and a pair of stolen bases in 25 plate appearances. He's worth a look as a low-cost DFS sleeper out of the leadoff spot on Tuesday.

New York Mets outfielders Brandon Nimmo and Mark Canha are not in the Game 1 lineup on Tuesday against the San Francisco Giants for the first game of a doubleheader. Both players have been on the COVID-19 list, but the Mets activated Nimmo on Tuesday. It's possible that he'll be back in the starting lineup for Game 2. The 29-year-old hasn't played since last Wednesday. Canha wasn't activated on Tuesday, but he could return as early as Wednesday after going on the COVID-19 list last Friday with Nimmo. Jeff McNeil will continue to play left field and lead off in Game 1 on Tuesday, while Travis Jankowski is back in center field and batting eighth against Giants right-hander Alex Cobb.

New York Mets outfielders Brandon Nimmo and Mark Canha are out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It appears both players have caught COVID-19 after being in close contact with a staff member who had it as well. Fantasy managers can expect to be without both Nimmo and Canha for a few days. Travis Jankowski is in center field and batting eighth versus righty Zach Davis. Jeff McNeil will bat leadoff and play left field in this one. McNeil is the much better fantasy option and DFS play for Friday's slate.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is set to lead off and play center field in the team's second game of the season against the Washington Nationals on Friday. Nimmo was held out of action on Thursday as he was dealing with a stiff neck. Mark Canha started in center field on Thursday and J.D. Davis served as designated hitter. Davis is sitting for Friday's game while Canha is shifting to left field. Nimmo is one of the best contact hitters on the Mets. Last year, he slashed .292/.401/.437 over 92 games. He'll be the team's primary leadoff hitter this year, though he may occasionally sit against lefties, who he has struggled against over his career.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is preparing to test his stiff neck through some on-field work ahead of Thursday's season opener against the Washington Nationals. Mets beat writer Anthony DiComo states that Nimmo is feeling better today and that there appears to be a chance that Nimmo will be in the starting lineup, despite the fact that the team has already submitted a lineup card without Nimmo included. DiComo also added that it's likely, at the very least, that Nimmo will be available off the bench for the game. Starling Marte is currently set to lead off for the Mets and play right field with Jeff McNeil in left field, Mark Canha in center field and J.D. Davis at designated hitter.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is still being evaluated. He still has a chance to start on Opening Day on Thursday against the Washington Nationals, but he could also sit out a few days or hit the injured list, according to manager Buck Showalter. We probably won't know for sure until Thursday, but Showalter was optimistic on Nimmo on Tuesday. Regardless, the 29-year-old shouldn't have to miss much time to begin the season if he's not in the lineup on Thursday. He was able to take batting practice and shag fly balls on Wednesday, a day after receiving a cortisone injection. Nimmo doesn't have a ton of power, but he's an excellent fantasy asset on on-base-percentage leagues.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) received a cortisone-type injection in his neck and remains questionable for Opening Day on Thursday against the Washington Nationals. Manager Buck Showalter remains optimistic and said, "We should get good results." Nimmo was held out of Grapefruit League action on Monday and Tuesday due to neck soreness. If the 29-year-old is forced to miss a few games to open the regular season, the Mets could use either Mark Canha or Starling Marte to fill in in center field. The Mets are having outfielder Travis Jankowski travel with them to begin the season as an insurance policy. Nimmo has played over 100 games in a season just once in six MLB seasons, but he's an excellent on-base asset in fantasy when he's healthy.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) will not be in the lineup for Monday or Tuesday's Spring Training games, according to manager Buck Showalter. However, the team is hopeful that Nimmo will be good to go for Thursday's season opener. Nimmo is currently dealing with neck stiffness. The 29-year-old figures to be the team's primary leadoff hitter this year. However, we may see him sit against lefties rather often. The left-handed Nimmo improved against southpaws last year, slashing .306/.429/.398, but in 2020, he only managed a .196/.317/.333 slash line in same-handed matchups.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo, who will be a free agent after the 2022 season, said he hasn't had any contract extension talks with the team. However, he said he's interested in signing a long-term extension with the Mets. "This is all I've known, being a New York Met, and I like the direction this team is heading," Nimmo said. The 28-year-old is the table-setter for the Mets and is an excellent target for those in leagues that count on-base percentage, as he sports a career .393 OBP in six big-league seasons with the Mets. However, Nimmo has played in over 100 games in a season just once. If he can stay healthy in 2022, he should have a productive season given New York's improved lineup. In 92 games last year, Nimmo hit .292/.401/.437 with eight home runs and 28 RBI in 386 plate appearances.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo had a standout day at the plate Friday, going 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in a 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Nimmo now has eight home runs on the season to go with 51 runs, 27 RBI, and five steals in 316 at-bats. His .854 OPS is excellent, but he'll need to increase his counting stats in order to become a steady fantasy option.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) returned from the injured list on Friday and went 1-for-5 with a run scored in the Mets 4-3 loss to the Phillies. Nimmo had last played on September 4, so his stint on the IL was relatively short. Nimmo has been one of the few consistent hitters for the Mets in 2021, slashing .300/.417/.411 with five home runs, 23 RBI, 43 runs scored, 15 doubles, and five stolen bases over 78 games. Nimmo remains valuable in all formats, particularly in leagues that have on-base percentage as a scoring category, for his solid help with ratios, as well as runs scored.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) is progressing fast after injuring his leg and landing on the 10-day injured list on September 4. According to Anthony DiComo, Nimmo has been sprinting and hitting on the field. He's eligible to be activated on Wednesday, but the team might wait until the weekend to bring him back. Nimmo's been one of the few bright spots in the Mets lineup this season, slashing .302/.420/.415 with five home runs and five stolen bases over 77 games. He isn't the best outfield option in most leagues with his career .441 slugging but is very valuable in OBP formats. Until he's back, expect Kevin Pillar to remain in center field. He's hitting .224 but can be a streaming option with his 14 HRs in 108 games.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The lefty hitting outfielder injured his leg while running out a ground ball during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. This is a significant blow to the Mets who are fighting for a playoff spot. Nimmo was an important part of their offense and is now expected to miss significant time. Albert Almora Jr. and Kevin Pillar are expected to see more playing time. However, neither of them are reliable options at the plate and won't produce the same type of numbers as Nimmo.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo picked up five hits, including a double, in the Mets doubleheader sweep of the Miami Marlins on Monday. Specifically, Nimmo went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI, and one run scored in the Mets 6-5 Game 1 win. In Game 2, Nimmo went 2-for-3 with a run scored in the Mets 3-1 win. Nimmo is now batting .298/.417/.416 on the season with five home runs, 22 RBI, and 39 runs scored in 255 at-bats over 74 games. Nimmo remains an elite option for batting average and on-base percentage in all fantasy formats for the stretch run in September. Nimmo should also contribute to run totals for fantasy managers hitting atop the Mets lineup with his elite on-base skillset, should the Mets plate runs more consistently over the final four weeks of the season.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo went 3-for-5 in the Mets 3-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. With the Mets offense continuing to struggle, Nimmo and Pete Alonso stand out right now as the only two batters in the lineup swinging a hot bat. Nimmo is now batting .429/.500/.571 in 28 at-bats over his last seven games. Though Nimmo was struggling at the beginning of August, he has clearly put that rough stretch behind him. Nimmo has managed to raise his average to .294 on the season, to go with a .413 on-base percentage, four home runs, 20 RBI, and 37 runs scored in 69 games. While Nimmo will not post huge HR and RBI totals, he remains an elite option for batting average and OBP in all fantasy formats. If and when the Mets decide to start scoring runs, Nimmo should also contribute to run totals for fantasy managers hitting atop the Mets lineup with his elite on-base skill set.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo went 2-for-3 with two runs scored, and two walks in the Mets 7-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. Nimmo has now gone 5-for-8 with a home run, three runs scored, and two walks over his past two games. Prior to this outburst, Nimmo had gone just .224/.325/.299 with one home run, eight runs scored, four RBI, 10 walks, and two doubles over his prior 77 at-bats. Over the past two games, Nimmo has managed to raise his on-base percentage from .397 to .408 on the season. With Nimmo heating up again at the plate, fantasy managers should be sure to get him back into lineups when the Mets return home on Tuesday to begin a three-game series against the Giants. Nimmo will help fantasy managers with ratios and runs scored in all formats.
