Mets' Brandon Nimmo: On base four times in loss
Rotowire
Nimmo went 2-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored in Wednesday's loss to the White Sox.
The veteran outfielder has been an on-base machine for most of his career, but Wednesday's performance was the first time since May 5 that Nimmo has drawn multiple free passes in the same game, and only the third time he's done it in 2025. He's gotten on base seven times in three games since returning from a brief absence due to a stiff neck earlier this week, but the improved OBP may be a result of moving up in the batting order rather than improved health. After spending the season hitting in the heart of the order between fourth and sixth, manager Carlos Mendoza has slotted Nimmo into the two-hole the last three contests.

Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Two hits in return
Rotowire
Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a double in Monday's win over the White Sox.
The veteran outfielder had gone 0-for-16 over his prior six games before sitting out Saturday and Sunday with a stiff neck, but Nimmo pulled out of the skid in his return by cracking a first-inning double off Adrian Houser. Nimmo's been unable to build any momentum at the plate this season, slashing .219/.279/.404 through 50 contests with eight homers, 19 runs and 27 RBI, but as yet, his spot in the everyday lineup doesn't seem to be in jeopardy.

Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Returning to action Monday
Rotowire
Nimmo (neck) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox, starting in left field and batting second.
Neck stiffness forced Nimmo from Friday's game and kept him out for the final two games of the weekend series against the Dodgers, but he has received the green light to return against right-hander Adrian Houser. While he's been mostly healthy since turning the page on a knee issue in spring training, Nimmo is slashing just .212/.274/.397 with eight homers and one steal across 197 plate appearances so far this season.

Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Exits with stiff neck
Rotowire
Nimmo was removed from Friday's game against the Dodgers due to neck stiffness, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Getting breather Wednesday
Rotowire
Nimmo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.
Nimmo had started in every game for the Mets dating back to May 1, and the Red Sox are sending a tough southpaw (Garrett Crochet) to the hill for the series finale, so the veteran outfielder is presumably getting a planned day off Wednesday. Starling Marte will fill in for Nimmo in left field and will bat second.
