Impact He hit a triple and ran it out with no issues, per Healey. Nimmo has been slowed over the last week or so by low-grade sprains in both his right ankle and right knee, but he is slated to return to Grapefruit League action this weekend and seems like a good bet to be ready for Opening Day.

Eyeing return to lineup Saturday Nimmo (ankle/knee) put in a full workout Tuesday and hopes to rejoin the Mets' Grapefruit League lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports...

Impact Nimmo has been nursing low-grade right ankle and knee sprains since last Friday, but his ability to take part in hitting, fielding and running work at Mets camp Tuesday bodes well for his availability for Opening Day. He'll likely continue to take part in baseball activities for the next three days with the aim of gaining clearance for the Mets' final two Grapefruit League games Saturday and Sunday. If Nimmo checks out fine coming out of those games, he should be ready to handle an everyday role in center field while serving as the Mets' leadoff man.

Tests ankle, knee Tuesday Nimmo (ankle/knee) ran through drills without issue Tuesday in Mets camp, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Impact Puma writes that "team officials liked what they saw and deem Nimmo as progressing," but it remains uncertain whether the 29-year-old outfielder is going to be fully ready for Opening Day.

Chance to be ready for Opening Day Nimmo (ankle/knee) told reporters Sunday that he believe he'll be ready for Opening Day, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Nimmo said he was relieved to be diagnosed with sprains in his right knee and ankle, as it could have been worse. The outfielder jammed both while trying to break up a double play Friday in a Grapefruit League game, but imaging revealed no structural damage. The Mets won't take any risks in the early part of the season, but it does seem likely that Nimmo will be playing games in April for New York, even if he does open the season on the injured list.

Low grade sprain in ankle/knee Mets general manager Billy Eppler announced Saturday that Nimmo has been diagnosed with a low grade sprain in his right knee and ankle, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Impact The good news is there's no structural damage according to the imaging. The bad news is that the outfielder has been diagnosed with the sprain, and will need to be evaluated on a week-to-week basis. The injury occurred when he jammed his knee/ankle into second base Friday while trying to break up a double play. Nimmo's status for Opening Day is very much in doubt, and this will be a situation that has to be monitored over the coming weeks.

Leaves with apparent injury Nimmo has left Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins with an apparent injury, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Impact Nimmo appeared to jam his right knee while sliding into second base attempting to break up a double play, and he looked to be in serious pain before he limped off the field with an athletic trainer as well as Mets manager Buck Showalter. The outfielder will all but assuredly go in for further testing and there should be an update on his status well before Saturday.

Confirmed for spring debut Nimmo is starting in center field and batting leadoff in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.

Impact Nimmo will see his first game action of spring training Sunday, as the Mets held him back a bit to open camp despite being in good health. The 29-year-old finally stayed healthy in 2022 and played in a career-high 151 games, and he delivered a .274/.367/.433 slash line with 16 home runs, 64 RBI and 102 runs. New York rewarded him with an eight-year, $162 million contract in December, and he's locked in as the club's center fielder for the foreseeable future.

Will make Grapefruit debut Sunday Nimmo will make his Grapefruit League debut Sunday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Nimmo hasn't appeared in a spring game yet, but the outfielder isn't missing time for injury. Instead it's an effort to conserve his energy and build up durability after a career-high 673 plate appearances in 2022. The outfielder signed an eight-year, $162 million extension in the offseason, and he'll hit at or near the top of the lineup for the Mets in 2023.
