Nimmo revealed Sunday that he's dealt with plantar fasciitis in his left foot since May and aggravated the injury recently in Game 3 of the NLDS, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports. Nimmo noted that the foot doesn't really bother him while hitting or throwing in the outfield, but running causes discomfort. "I think when I really need it, I'm probably not 100 percent, but I can get going pretty good," he said. "But it's uncomfortable." Nimmo plans to continue playing through the injury during the NLCS and the World Series, should the Mets advance. He's slashing .241/.353/.345 with one home run in eight contests this postseason.

Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Phillies. Nimmo led off the sixth with a solo home run against Zack Wheeler to put the Mets up 2-1, which ended up being the final score of the game. The home run brought Nimmo up to 22 for the year and was his third long ball in five games. Nimmo has at least one hit in eight of his last nine games and has driven in 12 RBI over that span. His 87 RBI this season has easily surpassed his previous season best of 68, and he needs two homers over the next week to match his career-high of 24.

Nimmo went 2-for-5 with a double, a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Phillies. Nimmo launched a two-run shot off Taijuan Walker in the bottom of the third and then came right back with an RBI double in the fourth to extend New York's lead to five runs. It marked the outfielder's sixth consecutive game with at least one hit, and he's now homered in three of his last six contests. Over that latter stretch he's batting .291 (7-for-24) with nine RBI and six runs scored.

Nimmo went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 10-0 win over the Nationals. Nimmo scored the first run of the Mets' nine-run outburst in the fourth inning, and he added a homer to finish the rally. This was just his second homer over the last 25 games, though it was enough to get him to the milestone of a second consecutive 20-homer campaign. The outfielder has also topped 80 RBI for the first time (81) despite a .227/.337/.398 slash line that represents his lowest marks in each category since 2019.

Nimmo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Washington, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Nimmo posted a .544 OPS while starting the previous 13 games, and he'll receive a maintenance day Tuesday as lefty MacKenzie Gore takes the mound for the Nationals. Harrison Bader will start in center field and bat eighth.
