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.
