Brandon Nimmo DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is back in left field and is hitting second for Monday's series opener against the visiting Chicago White Sox at Citi Field. Nimmo missed the entire three-game series versus the Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend due to neck stiffness, but he's back to begin the new week and will give it a go against the White Sox and right-hander Adrian Houser, who he has hit .571 against with a 1.768 OPS and a solo home run in seven career at-bats. The 32-year-old former first-rounder in 2011 has hit a disappointing .212 (38-for-179) with a .274 on-base percentage in 49 games in 2025, but he does have eight home runs and 27 RBI. Nimmo will be looking to snap a slump at the plate in his return on Monday after going hitless in his last 18 trips to the plate with two walks and six strikeouts in six games.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Nimmo will miss his second straight game after exiting early on Friday due to neck stiffness. This doesn't sound like something that will force Nimmo onto the injured list. Fantasy managers should consider Nimmo as day-to-day until further information is revealed. In the meantime, Jeff McNeil will shift to left field while Jared Young takes over as the designated hitter versus right-hander Landon Knack on Sunday.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) was pulled from Friday's series opener early at Citi Field against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers due to a stiff neck, according to the team. Nimmo's neck injury stems from when he collided with the outfield wall in the second inning, and the 32-year-old was then replaced in left field by Jeff McNeil following a rain delay in Queens. Before hitting the showers early, Nimmo was hitless in his lone plate appearance with a strikeout against Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw. Nimmo entered Friday's contest hitting just .213 (38-for-178) on the season with a disappointing .276 on-base percentage, but he has provided eight long balls and 27 RBI in his 49 games played for fantasy managers. McNeil would most likely see most of the starts in left field for the Mets if Nimmo's neck injury ends up sending him to the injured list.
