Impact After Kevin Pillar (nose) came back from the injured list last week, Almora looks to be on track to become the next Mets outfielder to return from injury. Before going down with a bruised left shoulder in late May, the 27-year-old had seen limited action, logging only 22 plate appearances on the season. However, with two other everyday outfielders in Brandon Nimmo (finger) and Michael Conforto (hamstring) facing uncertain timelines to return from the IL, Almora could have the opportunity to pick up more work with the big club once he completes his rehab assignment. Almora boasts decent bat-to-ball skills and a lifetime .267 average, but even so, he hasn't offered a fantasy-friendly profile when given steady playing time at various points during his career.
