Nimmo downplayed concern after making an early exit from Wednesday afternoon’s series finale against the Yankees with right hamstring tightness. It’s hardly a guarantee, but it certainly sounds like neither the Rangers or Nimmo anticipate him missing any additional time. Fantasy managers should check back in before first pitch on Friday evening.

Nimmo will undergo further evaluation, and likely imaging as well, to determine the severity of the issue. The 33-year-old top-of-the-order table-setter was 1-for-2 with a walk before being lifted for a pinch-runner in the fifth inning. There should be an update on his status prior to Friday’s series opener against the Tigers.

He also doubled. Nimmo got things started for the Rangers with a leadoff homer off Emmet Sheehan, and Nimmo got Sheehan again for a two-run shot in the sixth. That’s now three homers for Nimmo to open 2026, and he’s slashing a sensational .364/.435/.618 after the three-hit night.

Nimmo’s homer was a two-run shot off Jesús Luzardo. That would seem to be a tough matchup for Nimmo, but he’s gone 7-for-23 with two homers against his former NL East rival in his career. Nimmo finishes the first series of the year 4-for-12 with a steal and three runs scored.

Nimmo took Royals starter Michael Wacha deep to right field in the third inning for his third round-tripper of the spring. The 32-year-old outfielder has eclipsed the 20-homer mark in three straight seasons and will occupy the leadoff spot for a new-look Rangers offense that will feature Wyatt Langford and Corey Seager in the heart of the order.

The Rangers scored 13 runs in the third, making it an 18-2 game at that point. Nimmo was 3-for-14 with no homers this spring before the ridiculous showing today. He hit the ball hard every time up, and the homers were projected at 410 and 422 feet.

Nimmo capped off a seven-run uprising in the third inning with a bases-clearing double. He’s still off to a slow spring start with his new ballclub, hitting just .214 (3-for-14) with zero homers and four RBI, but there’s no reason to doubt that he won’t be ready to go when the regular season kicks off.

Nimmo smacked a Randy Vásquez offering for an RBI triple in the second inning, increasing the Rangers’ early advantage to 2-0. That would be all of the offense that they would need in the ballgame. The 32-year-old outfielder also drew a walk, reaching base safely in two of his three plate appearances. He looks to be locked into the leadoff spot in the Rangers’ lineup to open the season, which should lead to ample opportunities to score runs for fantasy managers.

Nimmo is fine, he’s just someone who prefers to be brought along slowly. The 32-year-old will be at the top of the lineup for Texas in 2026.

There’s nothing wrong physically with the 32-year-old outfielder, he just prefers to ramp up slowly and the Rangers have been accommodating to his usual routine. He has plenty of time to get himself ready for the start of the regular season even if he misses the first couple of Cactus League affairs.

That was always the expectation, but it’s nice to hear the skipper confirm it. Schumaker also noted that Nimmo will play right field. Nimmo had a terrific season for the Mets in 2025, slashing .262/.324/.436 with 25 long balls, 92 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 652 plate appearances.

The Rangers clearly wanted to move on from the 35-year-old Semien after his offensive production dipped over the last two seasons. Nimmo was the far better hitter last season, slashing .262/.324/.436 with 25 home runs and 13 steals for the Mets. He did play some center field, but he’s been a league-average corner outfielder for most of his career and should get a chance to replace Adolis García for the Rangers. While he doesn’t have the ceiling that García does, García has also failed to reach that season over the past couple of seasons, and Nimmo has been a fairly consistent player. It’s a bit of a lateral move for the 32-year-old from a fantasy perspective heading into 2026.

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.

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.
