NYM • Outfielder • #9

If there’s a time to do it, it’s probably with David Peterson, he of the 55% groundball rate, on the mound. Still, weakening the defense to play Starling Marte, rather than Cedric Mullins, against a right-hander doesn’t really seem like an upgrade. Nimmo, the Mets’ primary center fielder from 2020-23, has played eight innings in center over the course of four games this year. He started 22 games in center and 120 in left last year.

The Padres brought in Wandy Peralta to face Nimmo with two on in the third, and Nimmo responded with his seventh homer off a lefty this year. He’s hit 24 homers total this season, matching his career high from two years ago. Nimmo has been slumping somewhat of late, in part because he’s striking out so much; today’s game was the fifth in a row in which he fanned twice. He still has a fine .261/.326/.442 line for the season.

The Mets put up 19 runs – a franchise record for home games – and Nimmo was at the center of many of them. It’s also comforting to know that both of his home runs came before this game got out of hand late as position players wound up pitching for each side. Still, he had three balls in play hit at least 103 mph and has been red-hot of late with 14 RBI and a 1.004 OPS over his last 15 games. It’s been a very up and down season for Nimmo, but right now he’s certainly up.

Nimmo is batting sixth tonight against a tough lefty in Christopher Sánchez. He’s typically hit third against right-handers lately, but DH Starling Marte is there tonight.

Nimmo missed a fourth straight start with a sore neck, but the fact that he pinch-hit seems like a good sign for his availability going forward. It should be safe to keep him active in fantasy leagues this week.

There’s been no indication that Nimmo is in danger of landing on the injured list, but he’s going to sit out his fourth consecutive game on Sunday afternoon. It’ll be Jeff McNeil heading out to left field on the heels of Saturday’s two-homer effort with Brett Baty covering second base and Ronny Mauricio getting into the lineup at the hot corner.

Nimmo will sit out his second straight game after making an early exit from Wednesday’s contest with neck stiffness, which has been a recurring problem for him the past couple years. It’ll be Tyrone Taylor in left field on Friday night for the second straight game.

No real surprise here after Nimmo was removed from Wednesday night’s contest with neck stiffness, which has been a recurring issue the past couple years. The 32-year-old corner outfielder is presumably day-to-day heading into Friday’s series opener against Atlanta. It’ll be Tyrone Taylor taking over in left field on Thursday afternoon.

Nimmo was replaced by Starling Marte in left field in the second inning of Wednesday’s showdown after grounding into a double play in his lone at-bat. The 32-year-old on-base machine, who also dealt with neck issues back in May, is presumably day-to-day for now. There should be an update on his status heading into Thursday’s series finale.

Nimmo’s three-run blast gave the Mets an 8-5 lead, and also was the third homer that Spencer Strider allowed in the contest. It gives the 32-year-old an even 20 roundtrippers in 2025, and it’s his first in the month of August. Perhaps this helps Nimmo get going, as he had just a .437 OPS this month prior to that homer.

The homer was a leadoff blast against Brock Burke in the first. Nimmo’s OPS by month this year: .677, .762, .879 and now .920. If the trend continues, he’ll match Aaron Judge by Aug. 2026.

Nimmo had a strong game in what was otherwise a rough night for the Mets. He walked, stole a base, and scored a run in the second inning and then started their last-second rally with a double in the ninth. After a slow start, Nimmo has quietly put together one of the best all-around of his career thus far with 18 homers, 11 stolen bases, and a .793 OPS through 94 games.

Nimmo led off the game with a single off of Tomoyuki Sugano and raced around to score the first run on an RBI ground out off the bat of Juan Soto. The 32-year-old outfielder also smacked a one-out single in the fifth inning and swiped second base before being stranded there. On the season, he’s now hitting .260/.319/.470 with 18 homers, 53 RBI and 10 stolen bases in what has been a very productive first half.

He also swiped a base. Nimmo set the tone for this one in the first inning, belting his fourth career slam off left-hander Carlos Rodón. He’s batting .311 with 10 homers, 25 RBI and eight steals in 35 games dating back to May 29.

The Mets are treating Freddy Peralta like he’s a left-hander by starting Marte and dropping Nimmo from his usual second spot in the lineup, and it’s not a bad idea; Peralta has reverse splits in his career. Nimmo is also 0-for-8 against him lifetime. It’s Marte’s first start against a righty since Mark Vientos came off the injured list.

Francisco Lindor, Nimmo and Juan Soto not only homered consecutively in the third inning, but it was the 15th homer of the year for all three. Soto went and hit his 16th later on. Nimmo got a scare tonight when Jeff McNeil nearly instigated a collision with him in left-center, but he saw it coming just quickly enough to get out of the way. The two-homer game was his second this month and ninth all-time.

Nimmo certainly loves playing against the Nationals. This was his second multi-homer game of the season, and both have come against them. He tied a franchise record with nine RBI in his other two-homer game, so only driving two runs this game is a bit of a disappointment. Nevertheless, Nimmo has looked much more like himself since moving back to the two-hole in the Mets’ lineup and feels well on his way to a strong summer hitting in the heart of this fantastic lineup.

Nimmo experienced calf cramping Saturday, which likely had something to do with him being out of the starting lineup today. He should be back in there Monday against the Dodgers.

In spite of his OBP struggles this season, Nimmo was elevated to the second spot in the Mets lineup after the team decided to drop Juan Soto and Pete Alonso to third and fourth. It’s not necessarily a great thing for his fantasy value, since hitting fourth below those two guys was an excellent situation, too, but if it leads to some more patience at the plate from Nimmo, it might pay off for the Mets. He came into today with a .274 OBP.

Nimmo will sit out his second straight game on Sunday night after making an early exit from Friday’s extra-inning showdown with neck stiffness. It’ll be veteran Jeff McNeil heading out to patrol left field in his absence. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

Nimmo appeared to re-aggravate an ongoing left knee issue during Tuesday’s game at Chase Field on an awkward play in the left-field corner, but managed to remain in the contest. The 32-year-old on-base machine will likely be limited to DH duty for the next couple days in an effort to keep him off his feet and manage the issue. It’s a positive sign for the Mets and fantasy managers that he’s able to remain in the lineup without needing extra time off.

The Cardinals had no answers for Nimmo in this one, as he reached base safely in all five of his plate appearances and sprayed the ball all over the park. His fifth inning single was right in the middle of the Mets’ rally that chased Sonny Gray from this game and his seventh inning homer was merely icing on the cake. It had been a trying season for Nimmo, until this week. It started with a four hit, two home run, nine RBI game and then this three hit, two walk performance. In just four games, he’s gone from a .575 OPS to a .720 OPS.

Nimmo will miss his second consecutive contest as he continues to deal with flu-like symptoms. It’s possible he’ll be available off the bench, if needed, for a late-game situation. It’ll be veteran Jeff McNeil in left field while the Mets give him some extra time to rest and recover. The incredible part here is that he went 4-for-6 with two homers and nine RBI during Monday’s series opener while battling illness.

Nimmo only got his first RBI in the sixth, when he hit a three-run homer. He launched a grand slam the next inning and then a two-run double in the eighth. He got to bat again versus Amed Rosario in the ninth, but Mark Vientos immediately preceded him with a three-run homer, and Nimmo harmlessly grounded out. As a result, Nimmo only tied the Mets record for RBI, which was set by Carlos Delgado against the Yankees in 2008. Nimmo’s previous high was five.

Nimmo broke the shutout in the sixth inning with a solo homer to right field off J.T. Ginn. It was the only run the Mets would score on the day. The 32-year-old outfielder is slashing .208/.259/.472 with four homers over 58 plate appearances. Despite the low batting average, his outstanding hard-hit rate while limiting strikeouts bodes well going forward.
