Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Patrolling outfield Monday
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
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' Brandon Nimmo: Resumes baseball activities
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."

Mets' Brandon Nimmo: MRI on knee shows inflammation
Nimmo had an MRI on his injured right knee Tuesday which showed inflammation, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Nimmo's one and only Grapefruit League game came last Friday, and he had been slated to return to action earlier this week but wasn't quite ready. He said Thursday that he's waiting for "the last 10 percent" of the soreness in his knee to go away before he returns to the lineup, so it sounds like it's imminent. Nimmo is also coming back from a lingering plantar fasciitis issue in his left foot. While it hasn't been an ideal start to camp, the outfielder should be fine for Opening Day if he can avoid setbacks.

Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Held out with sore knee
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Monday that Nimmo has been dealing with a sore right knee but is expected to be back in the Grapefruit League lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Nimmo made his spring debut last Friday but hadn't played since then. While Mendoza described Nimmo's knee issue as a "low level of concern," it's not ideal that the outfielder is working through another injury, after he got off to a delayed start to camp while recovering from plantar fasciitis in his left foot.

Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Making spring debut Friday
Nimmo (foot) is starting in left field and batting cleanup in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Nimmo had a delayed start to camp after dealing with plantar fasciitis last season that lingered into January, but he'll make his first start of the spring Friday. The 31-year-old had a career-worst .726 OPS in 151 regular-season games while playing through the issue last year, with a .224 batting average being a significant drop from his .278 mark across the previous three campaigns. Nimmo is currently healthy, but he's at some risk for recurrence of the injury.

Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Nearing Grapefruit League debut
Nimmo (foot) is expected to make his Grapefruit League debut soon, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Nimmo battled plantar fasciitis in his left foot for much of the 2024 season and into the offseason, as well. However, he said at the start of camp that his foot is feeling normal again, and making his first spring training appearance in early March is a typical schedule for him. There's a threat of Nimmo's foot problem flaring up again, but for now he's in a good spot with Opening Day a little more than a month away.

Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Says foot feels normal again
Nimmo said Friday that his left foot has started feeling normal again within the past month and he's running at about 90 percent of his top speed, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Nimmo dealt with plantar fasciitis in his left foot for much of the 2024 season and revealed in January that it was still bothering him. However, his foot now feels back to normal following a variety of remedies, including physical therapy, shock therapy, strengthening and a PRP injection. He also found new cleats that he believes will help. There's certainly a risk that the plantar fasciitis will crop up again, but for now Nimmo is in a good spot. He plans to play in spring games by early March, which is a normal schedule for him.
