New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo helped lead his team to a 7-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in the second game of a Wednesday doubleheader. After going hitless in the first game, Nimmo went 2-for-5 with a grand slam and a stolen base in the nightcap. Nimmo kicked off the scoring in the game, blasting his third career grand slam in the second inning. The veteran is now hitting .254 with 16 homers, 38 runs, 47 RBI, and eight steals across 311 at-bats. He is working on a moderate hot streak, hitting .298 with three homers and eight RBI over his past 15 contests.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a walk in his team's 11-4 win against the Philadelphia Phillies. It's the 32-year-old's second two-homer effort in the last ten days, giving him 15 on the season. Nimmo missed a few games with a calf issue in late May, but has been on a tear over the 24 games since. Across that stretch, he's 30-for-94 (.319) with five doubles, seven homers, five steals, 17 runs scored, and 14 RBI. It's raised his triple slash to a much more respectable .249/.312/.465 and boasts the highest hard-hit rate of his career (49.8%). The move up to the two-hole has done wonders for Nimmo, and he's sure to keep piling up the runs while hitting in front of sluggers Juan Soto and Pete Alonso.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk in Wednesday's 5-0 victory over the Nationals. He's enjoyed a nice start to June, picking up at least one hit in eight of ten games. The 32-year-old is slashing .236/.302/.439 with 12 home runs, 36 RBI, 32 runs, and four stolen bases this year. He is usually known more for his on-base skills than his power, but there has been a reversal so far this season. Nimmo's walk rate is all the way down to 8.0% compared to his 12.4% career mark, while he is already over halfway to his 2024 home run total. It's still a productive skill set for fantasy purposes, and he should be viewed as a top-35 outfielder moving forward.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo is not in Sunday's lineup when the Mets look to complete the three-game sweep over the Colorado Rockies. Nimmo has started each of the past five games. During this stretch, Nimmo enjoyed a surge at the plate, posting a .421/.476/.632 slash line with one double and one home run. This afternoon, Starling Marte will shift to left field and bat in the two-hole. Fantasy managers should expect Nimmo to return to the starting nine on Monday when they begin a series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Through the first 54 games of the campaign, Nimmo has held a .232/.294/.419 line with nine long balls. However, under the hood, he has generated a strong .271 xBA with a .475 xSLG, which suggests he should see some positive regression later this summer. The Mets are a top stack facing Colorado southpaw Carson Palmquist in DFS.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is back in left field and is hitting second for Monday's series opener against the visiting Chicago White Sox at Citi Field. Nimmo missed the entire three-game series versus the Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend due to neck stiffness, but he's back to begin the new week and will give it a go against the White Sox and right-hander Adrian Houser, who he has hit .571 against with a 1.768 OPS and a solo home run in seven career at-bats. The 32-year-old former first-rounder in 2011 has hit a disappointing .212 (38-for-179) with a .274 on-base percentage in 49 games in 2025, but he does have eight home runs and 27 RBI. Nimmo will be looking to snap a slump at the plate in his return on Monday after going hitless in his last 18 trips to the plate with two walks and six strikeouts in six games.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Nimmo will miss his second straight game after exiting early on Friday due to neck stiffness. This doesn't sound like something that will force Nimmo onto the injured list. Fantasy managers should consider Nimmo as day-to-day until further information is revealed. In the meantime, Jeff McNeil will shift to left field while Jared Young takes over as the designated hitter versus right-hander Landon Knack on Sunday.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) was pulled from Friday's series opener early at Citi Field against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers due to a stiff neck, according to the team. Nimmo's neck injury stems from when he collided with the outfield wall in the second inning, and the 32-year-old was then replaced in left field by Jeff McNeil following a rain delay in Queens. Before hitting the showers early, Nimmo was hitless in his lone plate appearance with a strikeout against Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw. Nimmo entered Friday's contest hitting just .213 (38-for-178) on the season with a disappointing .276 on-base percentage, but he has provided eight long balls and 27 RBI in his 49 games played for fantasy managers. McNeil would most likely see most of the starts in left field for the Mets if Nimmo's neck injury ends up sending him to the injured list.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo went 3-for-3 with three runs, a home run, and two walks during their victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Nimmo enjoyed a perfect day at the plate. Nimmo would go deep in the seventh inning with a solo shot off St. Louis reliever John King. Nimmo was dealing with an illness earlier in the week but appears to have found his footing. Over his last 12 contests, Nimmo has posted a solid .283/.320/.500 slash line with one double, three long balls, and 13 RBI. Through 31 total games, Nimmo sits with a modest .229/.279/.441 line. However, his .350 xwOBA and .274 xBA suggest he should continue to see positive regression throughout the campaign. He remains a strong option in all formats on Saturday, facing St. Louis right-hander Erick Fedde.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (illness) is back in left field and is hitting sixth in Thursday's series finale against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Zac Gallen. Nimmo missed the last two games due to an illness, but he's feeling better now and will start against the D-backs in the series finale. The 32-year-old former first-rounder was feeling good enough to appear as a pinch-hitter in Wednesday's loss. Nimmo went 4-for-6 on Monday with two home runs, a double and nine RBI in the win over Arizona before falling ill on Tuesday. He's currently hitting just .216 (24-for-111) on the year with six long balls, 21 home runs and 13 runs scored for fantasy managers. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues will want to get him back into their lineups against Gallen, who he is hitting .143 against in seven career at-bats.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (illness) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Citi Field. Nimmo had a career day with two home runs and a whopping nine RBI in Monday's victory over the D-backs but then came down with an illness and is sitting out a second straight game. Fantasy managers will have to check back to see if the 32-year-old veteran is feeling good enough to play in Thursday's series finale. Jeff McNeil will start in left field on Wednesday and bat sixth against Diamondbacks right-hander Corbin Burnes. McNeil got off to a late start this year due to an oblique injury and has gone 4-for-12 with a homer and three RBI in his first three games. He's hit .267 with a homer and two RBI in 15 career at-bats against Burnes but will be a poor DFS choice in this matchup on Wednesday.

Updating a previous report, New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (illness) is out of the lineup on Tuesday against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks with some sort of flu, according to Newsday's Laura Albanese. Nimmo is getting an IV and could be available to play off the bench. With Nimmo under the weather, Jose Azocar will man left field in Queens and will bat ninth against Diamondbacks left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. It was a bit odd to see Nimmo out of the starting lineup a day after going 4-for-6 with two home runs and nine RBI, but now we know it's because he's not feeling well. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Wednesday to see if he's feeling good enough to return to action. Azocar has four hits in his first 10 at-bats with the Mets this year, but those playing DFS will want to avoid the 28-year-old Venezuelan out of the nine-hole.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo had a career day at the plate on Monday but finds himself on the bench for Tuesday's contest against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks with left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez on the bump. Jose Azocar will start in left field and will bat ninth against Rodriguez. Nimmo went 4-for-6 with two home runs and nine RBI in the 19-5 thrashing of the Washington Nationals on Monday. It was a nice offensively explosion for the 32-year-old veteran, who is still hitting only .218 (24-for-110) on the season with 21 RBI and 13 runs scored. He ranks tied for 14th in MLB with his 21 RBI. Expect to see Nimmo back in the Mets' starting lineup on Wednesday. Azocar has four hits in his first 10 at-bats this year but will be a low-upside DFS play in the nine-hole on Tuesday against a pitcher he has never faced.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo put together an unbelievable performance against the Washington Nationals on Monday. Nimmo was quiet at the plate until blasting a three-run home run off Colin Poche in the sixth inning. He followed that up with a grand slam in the seventh inning. Nimmo wasn't done there as he smacked a two-RBI double in the eighth inning. Nimmo finished his day 4-for-6 with two home runs, a double, and nine RBI in the win over the Nats. Nimmo tied Carlos Delgado for the most runs batted in during a single game in Mets history. It has been a quiet start to the season for Nimmo, but maybe this is a sign that he's going to turn things around.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo will take a seat on Tuesday evening when the Mets continue a series against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Mets are scheduled to face Philadelphia southpaw Cristopher Sanchez. Nimmo has made just three starts against left-handed pitching through the early part of the campaign. Instead, the Mets will give Jose Azocar the start in left field. He will bat in the nine-hole. Nimmo has begun to find his footing as he has tallied at least one hit in each of his previous four games and five over his last six. Through 23 games this season, the 32-year-old has posted a modest .205/.253/.375 slash line with four home runs. However, under the hood, Nimmo has generated a 55.7 percent hard-hit rate with a .252 xBA, which suggests he should see positive regression in the coming weeks. Azocar is best to fade in DFS facing Sanchez, who enters this game holding a 2.96 ERA.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (knee) will start in the outfield in Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Nimmo, who has been dealing with a lingering knee issue, looks to get a few innings of work in today to make sure he's ready to go for Opening Day. This is an encouraging sign for Nimmo and his fantasy managers, as reports a few days ago suggested he might get some time as the designated hitter but was unsure if he would be ready for the outfield. Nimmo is coming off a below-average season for his standards, holding a .224/.327/.399 slash line. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his knee until Opening Day, but be optimistic about him playing outfield today.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (knee) is expected to be ready in time to play on Opening Day. The veteran outfielder has been dealing with a lingering knee issue, but recently received a gel injection, which appears to be helping him. Nimmo believes he'll be ready to play designated hitter, but is unsure if he's ready for the outfield yet. Nimmo continued by saying he still feels soreness in his knee and is about 80 percent healthy right now. Fantasy managers should expect to have Nimmo as part of their lineup on Opening Day, but should check back in case of a setback.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (knee) is serving as the designated hitter and is in the two-hole for Thursday's Grapefruit League contest versus the Boston Red Sox. Nimmo appears to be past his plantar-fasciitis issues from last year, but he was brought along slowly early in camp and then dealt with right-knee soreness. As a result, this is the 31-year-old veteran's second spring training game. Nimmo still has several weeks to get ready for Opening Day and has time to work his way back onto the field in the outfield. The former first-rounder has dealt with his fair share of injuries in recent seasons, but he's remarkably still managed to play in at least 151 games in each of the last three years. He also had career-highs in home runs (23), RBI (90) and steals (15) while scoring 88 runs in 2024. The injuries are a bit worrisome, but Nimmo is still a top-50 fantasy outfielder in this lineup.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (knee) resumed baseball activities on Monday, according to manager Carlos Mendoza. The manager noted that Nimmo could return to action "pretty soon." Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status but it appears Nimmo is nearing a return to the Grapefruit League. The 31-year-old has dealt with soreness in his knee which has kept him sidelined for the time being. Nimmo has also had a lingering plantar fasciitis issue in his left foot. Last season, Nimmo held a .224/.327/.399 slash line with 23 home runs and 15 stolen bases. He generated a strong .335 xwOBA and drew walks at a high 11.6 percent rate. When he is cleared to return, fantasy managers should expect Nimmo to bat behind Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor, which should provide him with elite RBI opportunities.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (knee) appears to have avoided a major injury, but has been shut down from baseball activities for a few days. Nimmo has been dealing with a lingering knee issue throughout camp. He underwent an MRI earlier in the week that didn't reveal any structural damage. The 31-year-old did receive a gel injection into his right knee on Saturday. The hope is that Nimmo can ramp up his activities after a few days of rest. Mets' manager Carlos Mendoza said he expects Nimmo to be ready for Opening Day. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation, but they shouldn't be too concerned about this being a long term issue.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (knee) said the MRI exam he had on his sore right knee on Tuesday only showed inflammation and no structural damage. Nimmo is waiting for "the last 10%" of soreness to go away before returning to the Grapefruit League lineup in the coming days. The 31-year-old's health has to be a factor as fantasy managers consider whether to roster him this year as a top-50 outfielder, considering he played through plantar fasciitis in his left foot for most of last year as well. It's good news that his knee injury isn't very serious, and he should be ready in time for Opening Day in late March. Any health concerns regarding Nimmo should be eased by the fact that he's now played in at least 151 games in three straight seasons, and although he hit just .224 in 2024, he still managed 23 homers, 15 steals, 88 runs scored and a career-high 90 RBI. Nimmo ranks as RotoBaller's No. 40 fantasy outfielder.
