New York Mets catcher Tomas Nido is slated to make his first start of the 2024 season as the New York Mets look to complete a three-game sweep against the Los Angeles Dodgers and continue their six-game win streak. Nido was promoted from Triple-A Syracuse yesterday when Francisco Alvarez (thumb) was placed on the injured list. Nido struggled at the plate last season as he hit for a .125/.153/.125 stat line across 61 plate appearances. The 30-year-old should be expected to serve as the backup catcher in Queens behind Omar Narvaez for the foreseeable future. Nido will have trouble finding a path to fantasy relevance in a limited role and due to his past struggles in the batter's box. He is best left as a desperation option in DFS but has a difficult matchup today as he will face Tyler Glasnow.

The New York Mets are expected to designate catcher Tomas Nido for assignment, according to a source. The team will go with a catching tandem of prospect Francisco Alvarez and Omar Narvaez (calf) moving forward. Nido is strong defensively behind the plate, but he doesn't hit much and has gone just 7-for-56 (.125) in 22 games this year for the Mets with one, RBI, two walks and 18 strikeouts in 61 trips to the plate. If the 29-year-old clears waivers, there's a chance he could remain with the organization in the minor leagues. The 29-year-old backstop has a .213/.249/.308 career slash line with a .557 OPS and 13 home runs in 274 major-league games.

The New York Mets reinstated catcher Tomas Nido (eye) from the 10-day injured list on Thursday and designated catcher Gary Sanchez for assignment in a corresponding move. Nido missed some time with vision issues, but apparently he's fixed them and is ready face big-league pitching again. Omar Narvaez (calf) is nearing a return from his injured-list stint as well, so for now, Nido will split playing time behind the plate in Queens with youngster Francisco Alvarez. The 29-year-old Nido offers very little fantasy-wise in the deepest of leagues with a .213 career average and only 13 home runs in seven big-league seasons. Sanchez is likely to join Triple-A Syracuse after going 1-for-6 with an RBI and three strikeouts in three games played for the Mets.

The New York Mets placed catcher Tomas Nido (eyes) on the 10-day injured list with a vision issue, according to MLB.com. The 29-year-old was in the middle of a horrible start to the season offensively, slashing .118/.148/.118 in a backup role. In a corresponding move, the club recalled Michael Perez from Triple-A. The former fifth-rounder has played parts of five seasons at the big league level but hasn't hit much, batting .174 with a .545 OPS in his career. Perez will backup Francisco Alvarez, who was already the starting catcher in New York, so this news doesn't change much for any fantasy manager.

The New York Mets and catcher Tomas Nido agreed to a two-year, $3.7 million deal on Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the deal. The contract covers Nido's remaining arbitration-eligible years and will pay him $1.6 million in 2023 and $2.1 million in 2024. The 28-year-old backstop hit .239/.276/.324 with a .600 OPS, three home runs, 28 RBI and 31 runs scored in 313 plate appearances and a career-high 98 games for the New York Mets in a backup role in 2022. Nido will be the team's No. 3 catcher this year behind Omar Narvaez and prospect Francisco Alvarez, so he will carry virtually zero fantasy appeal unless there is an injury ahead of him.

New York Mets catcher Tomas Nido (hand) was removed from Friday's game against the San Diego Padres due to a left hand contusion. Patrick Mazeika entered the contest in the sixth inning to take over behind the plate. Nido underwent X-rays after the game and they came back negative. He is currently the team's primary catcher with James McCann (oblique) on the injured list. It's unclear at this point whether or not Nido will miss time with the injury. If he were to wind up joining McCann on the injured list, there's a good chance the Mets would be forced to call up their top prospect, catcher Francisco Alvarez.

New York Mets catcher Tomas Nido (forearm) underwent an MRI on his left forearm on Sunday. According to Nido, the MRI showed "nothing newsworthy." Mets manager Buck Showalter stated that Nido wasn't available for Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs unless an emergency came up, but it did not. With fellow catcher James McCann (oblique) on the injured list, Nido's health is particularly worth watching. The team has top catching prospect Francisco Alvarez waiting in the wings at Triple-A. It seems as if Nido will avoid the injured list this time around, meaning the team will continue forward with Nido and Patrick Mazeika until McCann is back.

The New York Mets placed catcher Tomas Nido (thumb) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. His 2021 season is now over. The team called up fellow catcher Patrick Mazeika from Triple-A to fill his roster spot. Mazeika will serve as a backup to starting catcher James McCann the rest of the way. Nido is dealing with a sprained left thumb. This is his third trip to the injured list due to the same injury. The 27-year-old appeared in a career-high 58 games this year and slashed .222/.261/.327 with three home runs, 13 RBI and 16 runs.

NEW YORK (AP) — Outfielder Brandon Nimmo was activated from the injured list by the New York Mets before Friday's Subway Series opener with the Yankees after missing two months because of a detached hand ligament. Nimmo was set to bat leadoff and play center field at Yankee Stadium. He hit .172 (5 for 29) with a double and no RBIs during a nine-game injury rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Syracuse. New York also reinstated Marcus Stroman from the bereavement list. He is scheduled to start Saturday, when the Yankees start ace Gerrit Cole. Right-hander Jeurys Familia and catcher Tomas Nido were activated from the 10-day injured list along with Nimmo. Left-hander David Peterson was placed on the 10-day injured list with right side soreness, a move retroactive to Thursday. He left Wednesday night's start at Atlanta after three innings because of pain. Right-hander Thomas Szapucki, catcher Patrick Mazeika, infielder Travis Blankenhorn were optioned to Triple-A Syracuse. New York also obtained left-hander Anthony Banda from San Francisco for minor league infielder Will Toffey. The 27-year-old Banda was assigned to Syracuse. He is 3-2 with a 6.86 ERA at Triple-A Sacramento this season and has a 4-3 record and 5.96 ERA in five major league starts and 13 relief appearances, with Arizona in 2017 and Tampa Bay from 2018-20. Toffey hit .178 with six homers and 16 RBIs this year for Double-A Binghamton. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mookie Betts hit three home runs in a game for the sixth time in his career, matching a major league record, and the Los Angeles Dodgers launched six long balls in all Thursday night during an 11-2 rout of the San Diego Padres.Betts tied a mark shared by Sammy Sosa and Hall of Famer Johnny Mize. The 2018 AL MVP went 4 for 4 with five RBIs and was hit by a pitch in the leadoff spot, where manager Dave Roberts has been reluctant to lock him in.Corey Seager, AJ Pollock and Austin Barnes also homered for the Dodgers. Seager returned after missing five games because of lower back discomfort. Barnes and Betts went back-to-back.With a chance to tie the big league mark of four home runs in one game, Betts reached on an infield single in the seventh.

CHICAGO (AP) — Yu Darvish took a no-hitter into the seventh inning in his third straight dominant start, and the major league-leading Chicago Cubs defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 4-2 on Thursday night.Darvish allowed just one hit — Justin Smoak’s solo homer with one out in the seventh inning on his 98th pitch — before Casey Sadler relieved to start the eighth. The 33-year-old right-hander from Japan struck out 11 and threw 104 pitches.Before Smoak’s drive, Darvish allowed only three baserunners. He walked Ben Gamel in the second and Orlando Arcia in the fifth, and hit Christian Yelich with a low pitch in the first. Kyle Schwarber homered early as Chicago improved to 13-3 for the first time since 1907.

NEW YORK (AP) — Tomas Nido had his first two-homer game as a professional, hitting a two-run shot in the fourth and a grand slam in the fifth to lead the New York Mets to an 8-2 win over the Washington Nationals on Thursday and a split of the four-game series.Nido is just the fifth catcher in Mets history to hit at least two homers and collect at least six RBIs in a game. Dominic Smith homered in the second and Pete Alonso had an RBI single in the eighth for the Mets, whose second straight win may have been a costly one. Left fielder Jeff McNeil was carted off after crashing into the wall while robbing Asdrubal Cabrera of a two-run extra-base hit to end the first inning.Smith, Alonso and Luis Guillorme had two hits each.McNeil’s catch cost the Nationals against rookie David Peterson (3-1), who allowed an unearned run and didn’t surrender his lone hit until Yan Gomes led off the fifth with a single. Peterson walked two, struck out three and retired 11 of 12 batters before Gomes’ hit.Jared... [More]
