BRANDON NIMMO NEWS

Playing through quad injury Nimmo has been playing through a quadricep injury since the beginning of August and will only play in Game 2 on Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Nimmo's injury caused him to miss two games at the beginning of August, and the Mets have allowed him to play through it since then. Manager Buck Showalter said he wasn't comfortable starting Nimmo in both games of Saturday's doubleheader against Atlanta because of the injury, so Nimmo will wait until the nightcap to get on the field. While playing through his injury, Nimmo is slashing .227/.346/.273 through 26 plate appearances.

Impact Nimmo has collected a hit in each of his last three games, and he'll get a breather to begin Saturday's activities. Rafael Ortega will slide to center field in Nimmo's absence, allowing Abraham Almonte to start in left and bat sixth.

Not in Sunday's lineup Nimmo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Impact The 30-year-old started the past two contests after sitting out three games with quadriceps tightness, and it appears he'll get a maintenance day for the series finale in Baltimore. Rafael Ortega will receive another start in center field in Nimmo's place.

Back in lineup Nimmo (quad) is starting in center field and batting in the leadoff spot Friday against Baltimore.

Impact Quad tightness has kept Nimmo out of the lineup for each of New York's last three games, but the issue seems to have subsided ahead of Friday's series opener. The 30-year-old outfielder is slashing just .193/.277/.368 over 65 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

Out again with tight quad Nimmo (quad) is out of the lineup again Thursday against the Royals.

Remains sidelined Wednesday Nimmo (quad) remains out of the lineup Wednesday at Kansas City, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Battling quad tightness Nimmo was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to quad tightness, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Nimmo's quad started tightening up during batting practice before Tuesday's game against Kansas City and ended up being enough to keep him out of the lineup for the first time since June 4. No details have been provided regarding the severity of Nimmo's injury, but he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Ends up sitting Tuesday Nimmo was scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Royals for an unspecified reason.

Impact According to Tim Healey of Newsday, Mets manager Buck Showalter said heading into Tuesday that he had about seven lineups at his disposal based on how the roster might have changed leading up to the 6 p.m. ET trade deadline, and the final starting nine the skipper settled on didn't include Nimmo. The Mets haven't specified that Nimmo's late scratch was the result of an injury or illness, as Showalter may have just instead elected to give the center fielder a rare breather on the day the team essentially waived the white flag on contending for a wild-card spot. Nimmo had started in every game since June 4.

The homer was Nimmo's third in his past three games and his seventh over his past 19 contests after he went deep just four times across his initial 60 games of the campaign.

The veteran outfielder has eight homers on the year, but four of them have come in the last 13 games -- a stretch in which he's slashing .250/.361/.519 with seven runs and 12 RBI.
