New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is preparing to test his stiff neck through some on-field work ahead of Thursday's season opener against the Washington Nationals. Mets beat writer Anthony DiComo states that Nimmo is feeling better today and that there appears to be a chance that Nimmo will be in the starting lineup, despite the fact that the team has already submitted a lineup card without Nimmo included. DiComo also added that it's likely, at the very least, that Nimmo will be available off the bench for the game. Starling Marte is currently set to lead off for the Mets and play right field with Jeff McNeil in left field, Mark Canha in center field and J.D. Davis at designated hitter.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is still being evaluated. He still has a chance to start on Opening Day on Thursday against the Washington Nationals, but he could also sit out a few days or hit the injured list, according to manager Buck Showalter. We probably won't know for sure until Thursday, but Showalter was optimistic on Nimmo on Tuesday. Regardless, the 29-year-old shouldn't have to miss much time to begin the season if he's not in the lineup on Thursday. He was able to take batting practice and shag fly balls on Wednesday, a day after receiving a cortisone injection. Nimmo doesn't have a ton of power, but he's an excellent fantasy asset on on-base-percentage leagues.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) received a cortisone-type injection in his neck and remains questionable for Opening Day on Thursday against the Washington Nationals. Manager Buck Showalter remains optimistic and said, "We should get good results." Nimmo was held out of Grapefruit League action on Monday and Tuesday due to neck soreness. If the 29-year-old is forced to miss a few games to open the regular season, the Mets could use either Mark Canha or Starling Marte to fill in in center field. The Mets are having outfielder Travis Jankowski travel with them to begin the season as an insurance policy. Nimmo has played over 100 games in a season just once in six MLB seasons, but he's an excellent on-base asset in fantasy when he's healthy.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) will not be in the lineup for Monday or Tuesday's Spring Training games, according to manager Buck Showalter. However, the team is hopeful that Nimmo will be good to go for Thursday's season opener. Nimmo is currently dealing with neck stiffness. The 29-year-old figures to be the team's primary leadoff hitter this year. However, we may see him sit against lefties rather often. The left-handed Nimmo improved against southpaws last year, slashing .306/.429/.398, but in 2020, he only managed a .196/.317/.333 slash line in same-handed matchups.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo, who will be a free agent after the 2022 season, said he hasn't had any contract extension talks with the team. However, he said he's interested in signing a long-term extension with the Mets. "This is all I've known, being a New York Met, and I like the direction this team is heading," Nimmo said. The 28-year-old is the table-setter for the Mets and is an excellent target for those in leagues that count on-base percentage, as he sports a career .393 OBP in six big-league seasons with the Mets. However, Nimmo has played in over 100 games in a season just once. If he can stay healthy in 2022, he should have a productive season given New York's improved lineup. In 92 games last year, Nimmo hit .292/.401/.437 with eight home runs and 28 RBI in 386 plate appearances.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo had a standout day at the plate Friday, going 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in a 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Nimmo now has eight home runs on the season to go with 51 runs, 27 RBI, and five steals in 316 at-bats. His .854 OPS is excellent, but he'll need to increase his counting stats in order to become a steady fantasy option.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) returned from the injured list on Friday and went 1-for-5 with a run scored in the Mets 4-3 loss to the Phillies. Nimmo had last played on September 4, so his stint on the IL was relatively short. Nimmo has been one of the few consistent hitters for the Mets in 2021, slashing .300/.417/.411 with five home runs, 23 RBI, 43 runs scored, 15 doubles, and five stolen bases over 78 games. Nimmo remains valuable in all formats, particularly in leagues that have on-base percentage as a scoring category, for his solid help with ratios, as well as runs scored.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) is progressing fast after injuring his leg and landing on the 10-day injured list on September 4. According to Anthony DiComo, Nimmo has been sprinting and hitting on the field. He's eligible to be activated on Wednesday, but the team might wait until the weekend to bring him back. Nimmo's been one of the few bright spots in the Mets lineup this season, slashing .302/.420/.415 with five home runs and five stolen bases over 77 games. He isn't the best outfield option in most leagues with his career .441 slugging but is very valuable in OBP formats. Until he's back, expect Kevin Pillar to remain in center field. He's hitting .224 but can be a streaming option with his 14 HRs in 108 games.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The lefty hitting outfielder injured his leg while running out a ground ball during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. This is a significant blow to the Mets who are fighting for a playoff spot. Nimmo was an important part of their offense and is now expected to miss significant time. Albert Almora Jr. and Kevin Pillar are expected to see more playing time. However, neither of them are reliable options at the plate and won't produce the same type of numbers as Nimmo.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo picked up five hits, including a double, in the Mets doubleheader sweep of the Miami Marlins on Monday. Specifically, Nimmo went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI, and one run scored in the Mets 6-5 Game 1 win. In Game 2, Nimmo went 2-for-3 with a run scored in the Mets 3-1 win. Nimmo is now batting .298/.417/.416 on the season with five home runs, 22 RBI, and 39 runs scored in 255 at-bats over 74 games. Nimmo remains an elite option for batting average and on-base percentage in all fantasy formats for the stretch run in September. Nimmo should also contribute to run totals for fantasy managers hitting atop the Mets lineup with his elite on-base skillset, should the Mets plate runs more consistently over the final four weeks of the season.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo went 3-for-5 in the Mets 3-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Thursday.

Nimmo is now batting .429/.500/.571 in 28 at-bats over his last seven games. Though Nimmo was struggling at the beginning of August, he has clearly put that rough stretch behind him. Nimmo has managed to raise his average to .294 on the season, to go with a .413 on-base percentage, four home runs, 20 RBI, and 37 runs scored in 69 games. While Nimmo will not post huge HR and RBI totals, he remains an elite option for batting average and OBP in all fantasy formats. If and when the Mets decide to start scoring runs, Nimmo should also contribute to run totals for fantasy managers hitting atop the Mets lineup with his elite on-base skill set.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo went 2-for-3 with two runs scored, and two walks in the Mets 7-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday.

Over the past two games, Nimmo has managed to raise his on-base percentage from .397 to .408 on the season. With Nimmo heating up again at the plate, fantasy managers should be sure to get him back into lineups when the Mets return home on Tuesday to begin a three-game series against the Giants. Nimmo will help fantasy managers with ratios and runs scored in all formats.

He has seen his on-base percentage drop from .427 (on July 30) to .397 over this period. Nimmo, along with the majority of the Mets offense, has really struggled in August. Fantasy managers may wish to fade Nimmo in the short term until such time that he can get his bat going again. Once he does, he should help managers with ratios (especially OBP) and runs scored in all formats.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo drove in all four runs in the Mets 4-1 win over the Nationals in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Thursday. Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, scored once, and (as mentioned) had four RBI.

Fantasy managers should keep Nimmo active in all formats, particularly in leagues with on-base percentage as a scoring category.

Albert Almora Jr. is getting the start in center field for the game while Jonathan Villar is leading off.

The 28-year-old hasn't faced Luzardo yet this season but is hitting .348/.464/.413 overall against lefties in 2021. Luzardo, on the other hand, has been struggling this season and has a 6.87 ERA over 38 innings pitched.

Nimmo had not appeared in a game since being pulled on Friday with what was being described as a "pinch" in his hamstring.

The Mets have a reputation for either withholding injury information or being overly optimistic. If Nimmo is deemed healthy enough to play, he should be in fantasy lineups in all formats.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) could miss a few games. Nimmo "pinched" his hamstring during Friday's matchup against the Reds, although he hasn't yet been ruled out for the remainder of the series. Skipper Luis Rojas labeled the injury as "really, really small," so that's good news for fantasy managers. More information on his status should come sometime soon. However, if Nimmo can't go on Saturday against Cincinnati, Kevin Pillar will likely enter the starting lineup.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, and two runs scored in the Mets 6-3 loss to the Braves on Thursday. Nimmo continues to get on base regularly as a table-setter for the Mets who have had issues scoring all season. Over his past 15 games, Nimmo has posted a .231/.429/.346 slash line with 10 runs scored. Although his batting average has been subpar over this time frame, he is still hitting .297/.425/.412 over 44 games on the season. Nimmo should continue to perform as a tremendous leadoff hitter for the Mets through the second half. If the Mets can further bolster their lineup before the trade deadline, his potential to score runs and accumulate RBI would also be enhanced. Fantasy managers should keep Nimmo active in all formats, especially in leagues with on-base percentage as a scoring category.
