NY Mets place Brandon Nimmo on 10-day injured list with right hamstring strain The Mets lost an important piece of their lineup. Now, they hope the outfielder isn't out for too long.
Lands on injured list Nimmo was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain Saturday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact Nimmo exited the first game of the day with what was originally called right hamstring tightness. The diagnosis has since been updated to a strain, an injury serious enough to sideline him for at least 10 days. Whether or not he'll miss more than 10 days remains to be seen. Travis Blankenhorn was called up to take his place on the roster.

Leaves with hamstring tightness Nimmo left the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals with right hamstring tightness, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Nimmo was busy early, notching two hits and a stolen base in the first inning and a half of Saturday's matinee, but that production came at a cost. With every team having a couple extra roster spots in September, the Mets can probably afford to wait a few days and gauge Nimmo's progress before making a call on his roster status.

Early exit Saturday Nimmo left the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals in the second inning, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact It was not obvious what was ailing Nimmo, but he was replaced in center field by Albert Almora. Perhaps he was injured on his successful steal attempt in the top of the second. Nimmo's availability for the nightcap is uncertain. He went 2-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored prior to exiting.

Tough but productive day at plate Nimmo went 0-for-1 with two walks, two hit-by-pitches and a stolen base in Sunday's 9-4 win over Washington.
Impact That's getting on base four times the hard way, as both Washington starter Erick Fedde and reliever Sam Clay plunked Nimmo in the contest. The outfielder added his fourth stolen base of the year, but he wasn't able to score a run for all his trouble. He's slashing .287/.411/.393 with four home runs, 20 RBI, 37 runs scored and 14 doubles through 300 plate appearances.
