Brandon Nimmo's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.
