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.
