Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Out against southpaw
Rotowire
Nimmo is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Phillies.
It's southpaw Cristopher Sanchez on the bump for the Phillies' so the left-handed-hitting Nimmo will be given a day off. Jose Azocar is covering left field and batting ninth for the Mets.
Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Athletics.
Nimmo snapped the shutout in the sixth inning when he took J.T. Ginn deep to right field for a solo homer, the Mets' only run of the game. Nimmo has started the season slashing .208/.259/.472 with four home runs and nine RBI but zero steals across 58 plate appearances.
Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Caps off blowout win with homer
Rotowire
Nimmo went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Monday's 10-4 win over Miami.
Nimmo put the finishing touches on Monday's rout with a two-run shot in the sixth inning to push the Mets in front 10-1. The veteran outfielder was limited in spring training due to a knee issue, but each of his four regular-season appearances have come in left field thus far, and Nimmo shouldn't struggle for RBI opportunities in 2025 while batting in the heart of New York's star-studded lineup.
Nimmo (knee) will start in left field and will bat second in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.
Nimmo made his spring debut in left field back on Feb. 28, but after experiencing right knee soreness coming out of that contest, he was held out of action for nearly two weeks before returning to the lineup as a designated hitter Thursday. He made another start at DH on Saturday, and with Nimmo having thus far experienced no setbacks with his knee, the Mets appear to be comfortable with testing him out in left field again. The Mets could still look to manage Nimmo's workload in the outfield early on during the season, but the fact that he's available to play defense again in Grapefruit League play suggests that he's in line to make the Opening Day roster.
Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Could be limited to DH duties
Rotowire
Nimmo (knee) said Friday he should be available to serve as the Mets' designated hitter on Opening Day but may not be ready to play the outfield, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
The outfielder had a delayed start to camp while finishing up his recovery from the plantar fasciitis that plagued him in 2024, and some soreness in his right knee cropped up in early March. Nimmo estimated that he's feeling about 80 percent healthy after returning to the lineup as a DH on Thursday, and his status is worth monitoring during the final stretch before Opening Day.

Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Back in lineup at designated hitter
Rotowire
Nimmo (knee) will start at designated hitter and bat second in Thursday's Grapefruit League contest versus the Red Sox, Manny Gomez of NJ.com reports.
Nimmo will be making just his second start of the spring after he was initially held back early in camp because of a lingering plantar fasciitis issue in his left foot and more recently dealt with right knee soreness. He'll need to show he can play the outfield without the knee flaring up on him, but all signs point to Nimmo being ready to go for Opening Day.
