BRANDON NIMMO NEWS

Receives injection Nimmo received a cortisone-type injection in his neck Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact The injection was administered in hopes that Nimmo could play as soon as possible, but he's not guaranteed to be ready for Opening Day. Mark Canha and Starling Marte both have experience playing center field, so the Mets should have no issue filling Nimmo's spot if he's forced to miss time. Dominic Smith would likely start in left field if that happens, though that job could also go to J.D. Davis on Opening Day against lefty Patrick Corbin if the Mets are comfortable using Davis in the outfield, something which didn't happen last season.

Mets' Brandon Nimmo Dealing With Neck Stiffness For Second Time This Spring Mets’ Brandon Nimmo is dealing with neck stiffness for the second time this spring as Opening Day inches closer.

Day-to-day with stiff neck Mets manager Buck Showalter said Monday that Nimmo won't play in either of the team's final two Grapefruit League games due to a stiff neck, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact The Mets are hopeful that by holding Nimmo out of the lineup for the next two days, he'll show enough improvement to be ready to make the start in center field in Thursday's season opener in Washington. If Nimmo remains out for Opening Day, a spot in the outfield could open up for Dominic Smith, as Mark Canha would likely shift over from his normal spot in left to cover center field for Nimmo in that scenario.

Back in action Tuesday Nimmo (thumb) will start in center field and bat leadoff in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins.

Impact Nimmo's sore thumb proved to be only a minor concern, as he missed just two days as a result of the injury. Though he's getting the nod in center field Tuesday, he could see most of his action at one of the two corner-outfield spots in 2022 after the Mets picked up Starling Marte in free agency this offseason.
