New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo went 3-for-4 in the Mets' 19-9 win over the Marlins on Friday night, including a walk, a pair of home runs, four RBI, and four runs scored in the contest. The 32-year-old has been hot lately, collecting at least one hit in 12 straight games in which he logged at least two plate appearances, going 19-for-49 (.388) during that time with three doubles, three home runs, 14 RBI, and 13 runs scored. A rough 0-for-19 slump preceded this recent stretch of hitting, so he seemed due for a breakout. The left-handed slugger is now the author of a .262/.331/.451 slash line with a .338 wOBA and 120 wRC+ on the season and is just two home runs away from matching a career high of 24 set in 2023.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is starting in left field and will bat sixth for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies and left-hander Cristopher Sanchez at Citi Field. It will be the first time that Nimmo has started for the Mets since he exited last Wednesday's loss to the Washington Nationals with neck stiffness. However, the 32-year-old veteran did serve as a pinch-hitter in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Braves and will return to begin the week for the start of a crucial divisional series. Nimmo has hit a nice .308 with two RBI and a .708 OPS in 13 career at-bats against Sanchez, but it's probably a left-lefty matchup fantasy managers setting DFS lineups will want to avoid. Nimmo has hit .236 (33-for-140) on the year against lefties with only six of his 20 home runs and a 37:11 K:BB in 158 plate appearances.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) remains on the bench for Sunday's series finale against the division-rival Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. Jeff McNeil is making the start in left field for this one and will hit cleanup against Braves right-hander Bryce Elder. Nimmo is considered day-to-day, but he's missing a fourth straight game and could very well end up on the injured list with a neck injury that is not a new issue. The 32-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder hasn't been great on offense in the month of August, either, going 14-for-74 (.230) with just one home run, two doubles, eight RBI, 10 walks and 20 strikeouts in 17 games played. Check back to see if Nimmo is available for the start of a crucial divisional series on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies. McNeil ha hit just .083 with a .237 OPS in 12 career at-bats versus Elder.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Nimmo is set to miss his third game in a row due to neck stiffness. It's worth noting that Nimmo was able to get through pregame warmups before ultimately being held out of Saturday's lineup. That being said, Nimmo should be able to return to the starting lineup at some point in the next few days. In the meantime, Starling Marte will cover left field and bat sixth versus right-hander Cal Quantrill. Fantasy managers should check back ahead of Sunday's lineup to see if Nimmo is able to return.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is absent from the team's starting lineup for Friday's divisional clash against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. Tyrone Taylor will make another start in left field and will bat seventh versus Braves left-hander Joey Wentz. Nimmo is missing a second straight game with neck stiffness and could wind up on the injured list with an injury that has plagued him in the past. He's hitting only .230 (14-for-61) with a homer, two doubles and eight RBI in 17 games in the month of August, but the 32-year-old left-handed hitter has reached the 20-homer mark already for the third straight season while slashing .254/.325/.436 with a .762 OPS, 68 RBI, 62 runs scored and 12 stolen bases in 122 games. Taylor will see extended run in New York's outfield if Nimmo misses more time, but he's not as exciting for fantasy purposes.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) will take a seat for Thursday's divisional clash against the Washington Nationals in D.C. Tyrone Taylor will get the nod in left field and will hit seventh in the batting order against Nationals left-hander MacKenzie Gore. Nimmo will be left out of the starting lineup after leaving Tuesday's contest early with neck stiffness. It's something to keep an eye on for the 32-year-old, as neck issues have cropped up for him in the past. While Nimmo is day-to-day for now, this has a higher probability of turning into a trip to the injured list. Check back to see if he's available to play in Friday's series opener against the division-rival Atlanta Braves. For what it's worth, the Mets are hopeful Nimmo will be able to play this weekend. Taylor hasn't had much success against Gore, hitting .182 against him in 11 at-bats, although he does have a solo homer.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is day-to-day after leaving the team's 5-4 loss to the Washington Nationals on Wednesday with neck stiffness, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. The Mets pulled Nimmo and put Starling Marte in left field in the bottom of the third inning. Nimmo has battled occasional discomfort in his neck since running into the outfield wall in a game in 2019, but he and the Mets have done a good job managing it over the years. Nimmo entered 2025 having appeared in 150-plus games in each of the previous three seasons and has been durable again this year. Over 122 games and 511 plate appearances, the 32-year-old has slashed .254/.325/.436 with 20 homers, 68 RBI, 62 runs, and 12 stolen bases. The Mets expect Nimmo to be fine within 24 to 48 hours, which means he could be out of the lineup for their series finale against the Nationals on Thursday afternoon.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo came up with a clutch hit during Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. Nimmo didn't wait around to do the damage as he blasted a grand slam in the first inning off left-hander Carlos Rodon. He didn't do much else after that, going 1-for-4 with one homer, four RBI, and a stolen base in the blowout win. Nimmo has been on another level at the plate over the last month or so. He's hitting over .300 with 10 home runs and 25 RBI with eight steals since May 29. If available, Nimmo needs to be rostered in any fantasy formats right now.

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.
