The Mets are finalizing a trade that will send Nimmo to the Rangers in exchange for infielder Marcus Semien, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Nimmo is coming off a 2025 campaign during which he posted a .760 OPS with 25 home runs, 92 RBI and 13 stolen bases over 652 regular-season plate appearances. He also played in a career-high 155 contests and has been relatively durable in recent campaigns, logging at least 151 appearances every year since 2022 despite managing a foot injury. Nimmo should immediately take on a starting role in the Rangers' outfield and will be looked to for some pop, as he's averaged 24 regular-season long balls over the past three years. However, his defense has slipped of late (probably at least in part due to the foot issue), and he has five years remaining on his current deal, which may explain why the Mets decided to move him. Nimmo has a full no-trade clause in his contract, but he's already approved the deal, per Will Sammon of The Athletic.

Nimmo went 3-for-4 with one RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Cubs. This was Nimmo's fifth multi-hit effort over his last 11 games, a span in which he has hit .319 (15-for-47). He has added three homers and 11 RBI in that span despite racking up 13 strikeouts. The outfielder is up to a .264/.326/.442 slash line with 25 homers, 92 RBI, 81 runs scored, 27 doubles and 12 stolen bases through 152 games this season. He'll set a career high in games played when he next takes the field.

Nimmo will start in center field and bat cleanup in Tuesday's contest versus the Cubs. Nimmo has plenty of past center-field experience, but this will be just his fifth appearance and first start at the position this season. Starling Marte will start in left field for the Mets.

Nimmo went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in Thursday's 6-1 win over San Diego. Nimmo extended New York's lead to 5-1 in the third inning with his homer off lefty Wandy Peralta, his 24th of the year to match a career high. The 32-year-old Nimmo has gone 6-for-20 (.300) with a pair of homers in his last five games. Overall, he's batting .261 with a .768 OPS, 86 RBI, 76 runs scored and 12 stolen bases through 612 plate appearances this season.

Nimmo went 3-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI and two additional runs scored during Friday's 19-9 win over the Marlins. Nimmo helped the Mets jump out to an early lead with a three-run homer off Eury Perez in the first inning before belting a solo shot in the sixth. Nimmo is now up to 22 home runs on the season, which is two off from his career high that he set in 2022. Outside of Aug. 20 to 24 -- when he was dealing with nick stiffness -- Nimmo has collected at least one hit in each of his last 14 games, going 19-for-49 (.388) with 13 runs, three homers and 14 RBI over that span.
