New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (shoulder) is back in left field and is batting third on Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Dean Kremer at Citi Field. A right-shoulder injury caused the Mets to pull Nimmo prematurely from Sunday's contest, and he missed the series opener against Baltimore on Monday, but Nimmo is back in there for Game 2 of the series. The 31-year-old veteran outfielder has hit for only a .229 clip (100-for-437) this year, but he does still have a useful .343 on-base percentage, 18 home runs and 11 stolen bases, not to mention 71 RBI and 70 runs. During his current three-game hitting streak, he's gone 4-for-12 (.333) with two homers, a triple and four RBI. Fantasy managers will want to get him back into their starting lineups on Tuesday, especially against a right-handed pitcher.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup on Monday against the Baltimore Orioles at Citi Field, but the good news is that his MRI exam came back clean, according to manager Carlos Mendoza. The Mets are calling Nimmo day-to-day after he was pulled from Sunday's game early with shoulder discomfort. It's possible that the 31-year-old outfielder will be back in action as early as Game 2 of the series against the O's on Tuesday. With Nimmo out on Monday, Tyrone Taylor is in left field and will bat eighth against Orioles left-hander Trevor Rogers. Taylor has three hits in 10 career at-bats against Rogers, but he'll give DFS gamers a low ceiling because of his spot in the eight-hole. Nimmo is currently riding a three-game hitting streak but has also missed time recently due to an illness and has gone 4-for-25 (.160) with two homers, a triple, five RBI and eight strikeouts in his last seven games.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo left Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins with shoulder discomfort according to the team. Nimmo was 1-for-3 with a solo home run before exiting the contest early. It will be worth monitoring this injury to see if it is something more serious than it sounds. Nimmo is hitting .229/.343/.414 with 18 homers and 71 RBI this season. The slash line numbers are well below his career marks as he has struggled a bit this year, especially with the batting average.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (illness) is feeling better and is back in left field while hitting third for the Mets in Friday's series opener against the division-rival Miami Marlins and right-hander Roddery Munoz at Citi Field. A stomach bug caused Nimmo to sit out of Thursday's series finale against the Oakland Athletics, but the 31-year-old outfielder is feeling better and will be back in action to start the weekend series against the Fish. He'll be hoping to pick it up offensively, as Nimmo has gone hitless in 13 at-bats in his last four games, although he has drawn four walks. He's also gone hitless in four career at-bats against Munoz. The former first-rounder has hit just .226 (96-for-425) on the year but has managed to get on base at a solid .342 clip with 16 homers, 67 RBI and 11 stolen bases for fantasy managers.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (illness) has a stomach bug and is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Oakland Athletics at Citi Field. "He didn't get much sleep last night," manager Carlos Mendoza said. With Nimmo resting on Thursday, Jesse Winker will make the start in left field for the Mets and will bat cleanup against A's right-hander Mitch Spence. Jeff McNeil will also start in right field and bat seventh. Nimmo could probably use a break, as he's gone hitless in his last 17 plate appearances over four games with an RBI and four strikeouts. The 31-year-old veteran has hit just .226 (96-for-425) on the year but has still managed a strong .342 on-base percentage with 16 homers, 67 RBI and 11 stolen bases for his fantasy managers. Check back to see if he's feeling better for Friday's series opener against the Miami Marlins.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo will head to the bench for Thursday's series finale at Coors Field against the hosting Colorado Rockies with left-hander Austin Gomber on the mound. With Nimmo getting a breather, Tyrone Taylor will make the start in left field for the Mets and will bat ninth against Gomber. Taylor has limited DFS upside out of the nine-hole for Thursday's slate of games, but the Coors Field factor is intriguing, as well as the fact that he's taken Gomber deep in his only career at-bat against him. Against lefties in 2024, Taylor has hit just .185 (15-for-81) with one of his six home runs and 21 strikeouts in 86 plate appearances. Nimmo has actually hit much better against southpaws this year, slashing .283/.362/.478, but with only four of his 16 long balls in 2024.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (foot) was replaced by Ben Gamel in left field in the seventh inning of Wednesday's loss to the visiting Minnesota Twins. Nimmo was in serious pain after fouling a pitch off his left foot in the sixth inning and initially stayed in to strike out in the at-bat before being replaced the following inning. Before hitting the showers early, Nimmo went hitless in three at-bats with two strikeouts to drop his season average to .232 and his OPS to .763. The 31-year-old will surely go for X-rays on his foot, so fantasy managers will want to check back later for more information. If Nimmo avoids any fractures, it's possible he'll be back in there for Friday's series opener on the road against the hosting Los Angeles Angels after a scheduled day off on Thursday. He came into Wednesday's contest hitting just .234 but has contributed 16 homers, 65 RBI, 63 runs scored, a .352 on-base percentage and a career-high 10 stolen bases in 101 games.UPDATE: X-rays came back negative on Nimmo's foot, and he's considered day-to-day, according to manager Carlos Mendoza.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo broke the game open in Thursday's series-sweeping win over the division-rival Washington Nationals at Citi Field, adding three more RBI to his recent hot streak. Nimmo cleared the bases with a three-run double in the fifth inning of Thursday's victory over Washington. In 23 games since June 15, the 31-year-old veteran left fielder has been one of fantasy's top players with a .333/.417/.711 triple-slash line, 16 extra-base hits, 30 RBI, 25 runs scored, and three stolen bases in 90 at-bats over this span. A popular 2024 All-Star snub, Nimmo has been one of the most rewarding forward-thinking holds in fantasy with such strong underlying metrics on Baseball Savant all year long despite his slow start to the season. The buy-low window closed long ago.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo continued his strong offensive summer in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Nationals. Nimmo went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run and a strikeout. The 31-year-old capped off a four-run second inning by hitting a Jake Irvin fastball high in the air that carried over the left-field wall. Nimmo had a very slow start to the season but has been excellent since June and now has a .252/.367/.459 slash line with 15 HR, 57 runs scored, 58 RBI, and eight stolen bases in 376 plate appearances. His batting average still has a ways to go to get to his career .268 mark, but fantasy managers will gladly take his current production.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (head) is back in left field and hitting in the two-hole for the Mets on Wednesday as they take on the division-rival Washington Nationals and left-hander Mitchell Parker in D.C. Nimmo fell at his hotel room on Sunday night and suffered a laceration on his forehead, prompting the Mets to hold him out of Monday's series opener. He was also held out of the starting lineup on Tuesday before replacing the injured Harrison Bader (head) while going 2-for-4. It's no surprise, then, that the 31-year-old left-handed hitter is back in action for the third game of the series. Nimmo is hitting a respectable .262 (22-for-84) against left-handers on the year, but with only three of his 13 long balls. He's never faced Parker in his career.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (head) is sitting out on Tuesday against the division-rival Washington Nationals for the second straight day. Nimmo slipped at his hotel room on Sunday night and suffered a cut on his forehead and is now missing his second straight game to begin the series against Washington. The 31-year-old avoided a concussion, though, so he's day-to-day and could be back in there on Wednesday. The struggling Jeff McNeil will start in left field again on Tuesday and bat ninth against Nationals rookie left-hander DJ Herz. McNeil, a former batting champion, has fallen on hard times in 2024 and is danger of losing playing time if he doesn't pick things up offensively. The good news is he's hit better against lefties this year, going 20-for-79 (.253) with a homer and six RBI, but he's a DFS fade out of the nine-hole the way he's been hitting.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo is getting the day off on Monday for the start of a series against the Washington Nationals in D.C. with a left-hander on the mound. With Nimmo on the bench, Jeff McNeil is making the start in left field and is batting ninth against Nationals left-hander MacKenzie Gore. It's a good day to get Nimmo off his feet, as he came into this one having started each of the team's last 15 games. Although McNeil is hitting .857 in seven career at-bats against Gore with a 1.732 OPS, he's struggled at the plate all year and won't be a popular addition to DFS lineups on Monday against a southpaw. The left-handed-hitting Nimmo has hit .256 (21-for-82) against lefties this year with only three of his 13 home runs.UPDATE: Nimmo slipped in his hotel room on Sunday night and got a gash on his head. He was hospitalized until Monday but doesn't have a concussion, according to manager Carlos Mendoza.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo continued his torrid stretch on Sunday, going 3-for-4 with a homer, two runs scored, and three RBI. The homer tied the game in the seventh for the Mets, but they were unable to take advantage and ended up losing 10-5 to the Houston Astros. Despite this result, the Mets have been on a roll lately, and in large part that is due to Nimmo finding his game. The lefty is now hitting .315 with 24 runs, six homers, 21 RBI, and a stolen base in June. His expected stats have been awesome all year and his fantasy numbers are starting to follow. Outfielders haven't had a great year as a whole this season, so selling high on Nimmo might not be the best course of action unless an offer is too good to resist.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo continued his hot offensive June in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Yankees. Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, three RBI, a walk, and a strikeout. Nimmo got in on the slugfest in the fourth inning, lining a Gerrit Cole offering into the right-field seats for the team's fourth HR. The 31-year-old has picked things up in June after a slow start to the season, slashing .321/.384/.590 with five HR and 17 RBI in 78 at-bats. He has been a reliable fantasy option throughout his career and thankfully appears to have gotten back on that track in June.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo is taking a seat for Wednesday's series finale against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers with a left-handed pitcher on the bump. As a result, Tyrone Taylor will get the start in left field and will bat sixth in the order against Dodgers southpaw James Paxton. Nimmo has struggled this year so far to a .215 batting average (40-for-186), but he has still provided a solid on-base percentage (.357) while taking 33 walks in 227 plate appearances. He's gone 10-for-47 (.213) against lefties with two of his seven home runs on the year. Taylor's calling card is his speed and defense in the outfield for the Mets. He's currently batting .234/.259/.336 with two homers, 16 RBI and six stolen bases in 107 at-bats for New York. Taylor has never faced Paxton in his career and has only seven hits in 40 at-bats against lefties in 2024.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo put the finishing touches on Sunday's win over the division-rival Miami Marlins, mashing a two-run home run in the ninth inning. Nimmo got a hold of an Anthony Bender changeup for a few insurance runs and his seventh homer of the campaign late on Sunday. Although the 31-year-old veteran is still batting just .217 (34-for-157) this season, he's got seven big flies, eight doubles, 29 RBI, and 29 walks for a .777 OPS through 43 outings. Nimmo moved to the third spot in New York's lineup in Saturday's game against Miami, and if his numbers begin progressing toward his .297 xBA and .556 xSLG on Baseball Savant, Nimmo could become a high-end four-category fantasy contributor. The Cleveland Guardians are on tap, but Nimmo went just 3-for-14 with one round-tripper in three games against the Guardians last year.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (illness) is back in the Mets lineup on Saturday after not starting the previous two games with a stomach bug. Nimmo will bat in the three-hole for the first time this season, as he has always served as the lead-off man in Queens. The Mets have only won one game out of their past five, so manager Carlos Mendoza could be looking to spark up the offense. As a result, shortstop Francisco Lindor will bat at the top of the order, and first baseman Pete Alonso will bat in the two-hole. Designated hitter J.D. Martinez will slot in the cleanup spot behind Nimmo. DFS players should consider stacking their lineup with Mets this afternoon as they will face southpaw Braxton Garrett, who allowed five earned runs, five hits, and two free passes in his season debut on May 12.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (illness) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday for the start of a series in Miami against the Marlins. Nimmo was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies due to a stomach bug and clearly is still not feeling well a day later. The 31-year-old should be considered day-to-day. Check back on Saturday to see if he's back in the Mets' lineup. Tyrone Taylor will make another start in left field and will head leadoff against Marlins left-hander Jesus Luzardo. Taylor has two hits and two RBI in just three career at-bats against Luzardo. However, Taylor is also hitting just .191 (4-for-21) with no homers and seven strikeouts in his 10 games played in May. Because he's hitting out of the leadoff spot, he'll have slightly more appeal as a DFS sleeper.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (illness) was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies due to a stomach bug. Fantasy managers should consider Nimmo to be day-to-day and check back on Friday to see if he's available to play in the series opener in Miami against the Marlins. With Nimmo out, DJ Stewart is playing left field and is batting fifth, while outfielder Tyron Taylor is moving up to the leadoff spot with Harrison Bader getting a day to rest. The move makes Taylor more attractive as a DFS sleeper play for Thursday's slate against Phillies right-hander Taijuan Walker. Nimmo is hitting a disappointing .215/.361/.396 on the year with six home runs, 27 RBI and 21 runs scored in 149 at-bats, but his xwOBA of .422 means he's an excellent buy-low candidate who has been squaring balls up regularly without much to show for it so far in 2024.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (intercostal) will return to the lineup on Monday and hit leadoff against the Philadelphia Phillies and left-hander Cristopher Sanchez. Nimmo left Saturday's game early with right-intercostal irritation, and that injury also prevented him from starting on Sunday. However, the outfielder was feeling good enough to come off the bench and hit a walk-off two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning. He appears to be healthy heading into the Mets' four-game set against the Phillies and will slide right back into the top spot in the batting order for New York. He is hitting .234 with six home runs and 27 RBI in 38 games this season.
