Nimmo landed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a sprained right shoulder.
Nimmo has dealt with more than his fair share of injury problems in the past, so it's discouraging to see him end the year injured after a pair of seasons in which he crossed the 150-game threshold for the first time. This particular injury may not be too worrisome, however, as source reports that Nimmo avoided structural damage. If the Mets had postseason baseball to look forward to, he would address the problem with an injection, but their 72-86 record means he'll instead hit the couch a few days early and let the problem heal with rest. Michael Perez was recalled to take Nimmo's place on the roster.

Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Likely done for season
Rotowire
Nimmo has an AC joint injury in his right shoulder and will undergo an MRI on Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Nimmo was held out of the lineup Sunday with an undisclosed injury, so this may be a related issue. The seriousness of the injury is not yet known, but given that the Mets have little to play for across the final weekend of the regular season, it's unlikely that Nimmo will return to the lineup.

Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Batting leadoff in return
Rotowire
Nimmo (undisclosed) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Marlins.
Nimmo will start in center field and bat leadoff versus the Marlins and left-hander Braxton Garrett after sitting out Sunday's series finale at Philadelphia due to general soreness. Nimmo, 30, boasts a .333/.394/.633 slash line in 99 plate appearances since the beginning of September.
Nimmo is dealing with an unspecified injury and is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
The center fielder apparently suffered the injury Saturday on a slide into home plate, and manager Buck Showalter indicated Nimmo would have been replaced by a pinch runner had he reached during his ninth-inning plate appearance. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue, and Nimmo will have the Mets' scheduled day off Monday to rest before Tuesday's series opener versus the Marlins.
Nimmo went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, two additional runs and a walk against Miami in an 8-3 win Wednesday.
Nimmo has been scorching in September, batting .346 through 18 contests. He's gone deep five times during the month so far, though he hadn't homered in his previous 10 games before Wednesday. Nimmo has already established a career high with 24 homers on the campaign, and he needs one more RBI to tie the career-best mark of 64 he recorded last season.
Nimmo went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.
Among Nimmo's three hits was a game-tying, two-run double with two outs in the ninth inning. The tenacious 30-year-old has posted multi-hit efforts in four of the last eight games, hitting .361 (12-for-36) with four doubles, one triple, four runs and four RBI in that span.
Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Piles up XBH in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Nimmo went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, a triple and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks.
The Mets' leadoff hitter had no trouble getting himself into scoring position as he continued a tear that has seen him slash .333/.390/.741 over his last 13 games with 11 total extra-base hits (five doubles, a triple and five homers). Nimmo's 23 long balls on the year are a career high, and his .819 OPS has him on track to post a mark in the .800s for the fourth straight season.
Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 win over the Mariners.
He took Logan Gilbert deep in the sixth inning to get the Mets on the board. Nimmo has reached 20 homers for the first time in his career, and while his 55 RBI and 73 runs are steps back from 2022, that's more a reflection of the offense behind him than his performance as the team's leadoff hitter. Since the beginning of August, the 30-year-old is slashing .278/.364/.474 with five homers, eight RBI and 12 runs in 27 contests.
