In the New York Mets' win over the Rockies on Friday, Brandon Nimmo played a crucial role, going 2-for-3 with a walk, double, home run, RBI, and run scored. His home run was the lone score in the game. Nimmo was on a brief dry spell before the contest, with just four hits and zero walks in his last 25 at-bats. Despite this, he has a season batting average of .311 with three home runs, 18 runs, 14 RBIs, and three stolen bases.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo led his team to a 3-2 win over Oakland on Saturday. The 30-year-old went 2-for-4. However, his most significant accomplishment on the day was a go-ahead RBI double in the seventh, which eventually sealed the deal. The Mets have now won three-straight games, with Nimmo one of the players responsible. He's batting .289 this season with 12 hits. He also had eight RBI, with five coming in the last three games. He'll look to close out the series with the A's versus JP Sears. Nimmo has gone 2-for-3 lifetime against the lefty, although he'd be a must-start regardless of who is on the bump based on his stellar play of late.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo is back in the starting lineup on Monday after he started on the bench against a southpaw on Sunday. Nimmo is starting in center field and is back in his usual leadoff spot on Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Freddy Peralta. The 30-year-old is off to a slow start in 2023, going 2-for-10 with a double, three RBI, a run scored and a stolen base, but he also has four walks and no strikeouts in the first four games. Nimmo should remain in most starting lineups in single-year leagues for his great on-base skills. With Nimmo back in there on Monday, Tommy Pham will head back to the bench.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (ankle, knee) tripled in five plate appearances in a minor-league spring game on Thursday. Nimmo has been out of Grapefruit League action for the last week due to low-grade sprains in his right ankle and right knee, but Thursday's performance was a good sign for his availability on Opening Day a week from now. When healthy, the 29-year-old will hit leadoff for the Mets and is an excellent source for on-base percentage and runs scored atop one of the best lineups in baseball. Injuries have been Nimmo's downfall, but he played in a career-high 151 contests in 2022 and hit .274/.367/.433 with a league-leading seven triples, 16 home runs, 64 RBI and 102 runs scored in 673 plate appearances.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (ankle, knee) may play in Grapefruit League games this weekend. Nimmo played in a minor league game on Wednesday, and manager Buck Showalter said he's hopeful Nimmo and reliever Brooks Raley (hamstring) will play this weekend. Nimmo suffered a sprained right knee and ankle last Friday, but he seems to be progressing quickly. Barring any setbacks, he may be ready for Opening Day, where he'll sit atop a loaded Mets' lineup, as he gets on base and scores a ton of runs.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (ankle, knee) tested his sprained ankle/knee on Tuesday at camp. Team officials liked what they saw from him and said that Nimmo is progressing, although it's unclear what that means for his availability on Opening Day on March 30. The 29-year-old is dealing with low-grade sprains in both his right ankle and right knee, so there's a good chance he won't be ready for the start of the 2023 regular season. But if Nimmo does open up on the injured, he may not be there for long. When healthy, he's an excellent on-base machine for the Mets and fantasy managers alike, and he's also a great source of runs atop a stacked New York lineup.

New York Mets centerfielder Brandon Nimmo (leg) was diagnosed with a low-grade sprain in his right knee and ankle. Nimmo was in the act of sliding toward second base in Saturday's matchup against the Miami Marlins and failed to execute a proper slide. He was forced to exit the game and reported pain in his right knee the following morning. According to Mets GM Billy Eppler, the 29-year-old is on a week-to-week basis which puts his Opening Day status in jeopardy. The Mets are hoping to reinstate him as early as possible but will take every precaution to ensure that he heals completely. In 2022, Nimmo slashed .274/.367/.433 with 16 home runs and a .800 OPS. The Wyoming native is hoping to put together another healthy season as the Mets compete for their third title.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (knee) was removed early during Friday's Grapefruit League matchup against the Miami Marlins. The left-handed slugger jammed his knee while sliding into second base. Nimmo needed assistance to get off the field, but the severity of the injury is unknown. The expectation is that the organization is going to have Nimmo undergo additional testing. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Nimmo.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo is making his Grapefruit League debut on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Luis Patino. Nimmo is starting in center field and hitting in his usual leadoff spot in the batting order. The 29-year-old has been healthy this spring, but the Mets opted to hold him back to give him some extra rest this spring. Injuries have been an issue for Nimmo in the past, but he played in a career-high 151 games in 2022 and slashed .274/.367/.433 with an .800 OPS, 16 home runs, career-high 64 RBI, career-high 102 runs scored and three stolen bases in 673 plate appearances. Durability is an issue, but fantasy managers are getting a strong on-base guy and plenty of runs if they draft Nimmo.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo is healthy, but he's taking a slow progression in spring training by design and expects to make his Grapefruit League debut toward the end of this week. He took swings during live batting practice on a back field on Sunday. The Mets are just being cautious with their 29-year-old leadoff man after he signed an eight-year, $162 million deal to remain with the team in free agency over the winter. In his seventh season with the Mets last year, Nimmo slashed .274/.367/.433 with an .800 OPS, 16 home runs, career-high 64 RBI, career-high 102 runs scored and three stolen bases in 151 games played. Given his presence at the top of one of the best lineups in baseball, Nimmo is an excellent source of runs and on-base percentage for fantasy managers.

The New York Mets agreed to re-sign outfielder Brandon Nimmo to an eight-year, $162 million deal on Thursday, according to sources familiar with the deal. The Mets keep their on-base machine of a center fielder, and the biggest payroll in baseball only gets bigger. The former first-rounder will remain the team's leadoff man with a career .385 on-base percentage in his seven major-league seasons with the Mets. Nimmo doesn't have a ton of pop (career-high 17 home runs in 2018), but he's an excellent table-setter and is a great target in OBP and runs scored in fantasy. In a career-high 151 games in 2022, the 29-year-old hit .274/.367/.433 with an .800 OPS, 16 homers, a league-high seven triples, 64 RBI, 102 runs scored and three stolen bases.

The New York Yankees are expected to meet with free-agent outfielder Brandon Nimmo at the Winter Meetings this week in San Diego. The Yankees are looking for two outfielders, so they could sign both Nimmo and Aaron Judge, although that would also bloat their budget considerably. If the Yankees sign both Nimmo and Judge, they'd have arguably the best defensive outfielder in baseball along with Harrison Bader. New York has also discussed Andrew Benintendi and Japanese star Masataka Yoshida. The San Francisco Giants, Tampa Bay Rays, Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets are also in the running to sign the on-base machine this offseason. Nimmo would be particularly attractive in fantasy atop the Yankees powerful offense, especially if they re-sign Judge, too.

The New York Yankees are believed to be on the list of teams to visit with free-agent outfielder Brandon Nimmo. The fit is somewhat curious, though, unless the Yankees are unable to re-sign superstar slugger Aaron Judge. The San Francisco Giants, Tampa Bay Rays, Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets are also believed to be involved with Nimmo. The 29-year-old outfielder is one of the best on-base men in all of baseball, so he'd be a great fit at the top of any contending team's lineup. Nimmo has a .385 career on-base in seven big-league seasons with the Mets, and he had a .274/.367/.433 slash line with an .800 OPS, 16 home runs, a league-leading seven triples, 64 RBI, 102 runs scored and three stolen bases in 673 plate appearances and 151 games.

The San Francisco Giants, Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays are among many teams interested in free-agent outfielder Brandon Nimmo. The New York Mets are also interested in bringing the table-setter back. The Seattle Mariners have also been mentioned as suitors. Nimmo is expected to land a five-year deal worth more than $100 million this winter, which would likely be too costly for the penny-pinching Rays. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter has an impressive .385 career on-base percentage, which makes him very attractive to contending teams as a top-of-the-order hitter. In 151 games for the Mets in 2022, he hit .274/.367/.433 with an .800 OPS, 16 home runs, a league-leading seven triples, 64 RBI, 102 runs scored and three stolen bases.

San Francisco Chronicles' Susan Slusser reported Tuesday that the San Francisco Giants have checked in on free-agent outfielders Brandon Nimmo and Cody Bellinger. The Giants agreed to a one-year deal with Mike Yastrzemski earlier in the off-season, but they could still use a good deal of help at the position. Nimmo would provide a reliable source of offensive production and solid defense. He had a successful 2022 season with the Mets, slashing .274/.367/.433 with 16 home runs, 64 RBI, and three stolen bases. Bellinger would provide defense and speed but would be a much bigger unknown offensively, as he struggled with the Dodgers during the 2021-22 seasons but showed strong skills earlier in his career.

The Toronto Blue Jays are showing interest in free-agent outfielder Brandon Nimmo, according to sources. The trade of Teoscar Hernandez to the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday has freed up a spot in the Toronto lineup for them to add the left-handed bat that they've lacked. Nimmo and his on-base skills would be a perfect fit for Toronto's potent lineup and make him even more attractive in fantasy. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter has a strong .385 on-base percentage in his seven major-league seasons, and he finished 2022 by hitting .274/.367/.433 with an .800 OPS, 16 home runs, league-leading seven triples, 64 RBI, 102 runs scored and three stolen bases in 673 plate appearances over a career-high 151 games.

The Seattle Mariners have expressed formal interest in free-agent outfielder Brandon Nimmo, according to sources. The Mariners are looking for a left-handed bat and improved on-base percentage, and Nimmo would bring both of those things to Seattle. Nimmo is a native of Wyoming and has posted a strong .385 on-base percentage in his seven MLB seasons with the New York Mets. In a career-high 151 games in 2022, he hit .274/.367/.433 with an .800 OPS, 16 home runs, a league-leading seven triples, 64 RBI, 102 runs scored and three stolen bases in 673 plate appearances. Nimmo was already a very attractive fantasy commodity for his OBP, contact skills and runs while in New York, but he'd be just as attractive with a move to the up-and-coming M's.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo had a big day at the plate on Tuesday in the doubleheader sweep of the Washington Nationals. Nimmo finished 6-for-8 with two doubles, two home runs and six RBI. Heading into the final game of the regular season on Wednesday, the 29-year-old is hitting .274/.367/.433 with an .800 OPS, 16 home runs, 64 RBI, 102 runs scored and three stolen bases in 580 at-bats across a career-high 151 games in 2022. The Mets are hoping that Nimmo can continue to swing a hot bat heading into this weekend's wild-card series against the San Diego Padres, especially with Starling Marte (finger) looking unlikely to make his return.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (quad) is not in the lineup on Saturday vs. the Oakland Athletics. Nimmo appears to just be getting the day off even though he did tweak his left quad on Wednesday against the Brewers. He has appeared in games since then so Saturday just looks to be a day of maintenance for the on-base machine. There's a strong chance that he returns to the Mets' lineup on Sunday. In the meantime, former Athletic Mark Canha will be starting in center field in Nimmo's absence.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (quadriceps) is back in center field and batting leadoff on Friday against the Oakland Athletics and left-hander Cole Irvin. Nimmo won't end up missing much time after he left the game early on Wednesday with left quadriceps tightness, and he's back in the starting lineup after Thursday's off day. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter should be returned to starting lineups in single-year formats on Friday. Against lefty pitchers, Nimmo has been solid, hitting .262 (49-for-187) with five of his 14 home runs against them. In the month of September, he's gone 18-for-72 (.250) with two home runs, 12 RBI, 14 runs scored and three stolen bases in 20 games played.
