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

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

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.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Nimmo (knee) resumed baseball activities Monday, Danny Abriano of SNY.tv reports.
Nimmo was given a gel injection Friday to combat soreness in his right knee and had been expected to return to Grapefruit League play Saturday or Sunday. While his recovery has taken a bit longer than expected, the Mets do not appear concerned, with Mendoza saying he's hopeful Nimmo can play in games "pretty soon." Nimmo has played just one game this spring, as he was initially held back early in camp because of a lingering plantar fasciitis issue in his left foot.
Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Will miss at least 1-2 more days

Nimmo (knee) received a gel injection Friday and will remain out of baseball activities for the next one to two days, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Diagnosed with knee inflammation, Nimmo hasn't played in a Grapefruit League game since Feb. 28, his only appearance of the spring to date. He had planned to ramp up his running to 100 percent Friday but was only able to get to 85 percent, according to manager Carlos Mendoza, so the Mets are delaying his return to the field. "We're still shooting for Opening Day," Mendoza said. "We feel like we have enough time here for him to get plenty of at-bats. Once we get closer to Opening Day, whether he's not running 100 percent, he's not getting at-bats or he's not doing any baseball activity, then we'll probably have to start having some of those conversations. That's not the case as we sit here."
