89-73 · 3RD IN NL EAST
Brandon Nimmo - Stays hot Thursday Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Thursday's win over the Nationals.
Impact The 31-year-old broke open a scoreless tie in the bottom of the fifth inning, ripping a bases-loaded double to the wall in left-center field before coming home on a J.D. Martinez knock. Nimmo has a six-game hitting streak going, batting .360 (9-for-25) during that stretch with two doubles, three homers, five runs and 10 RBI, and his 62 RBI on the season leave him just seven away from establishing a new career high.

J.D. Martinez - Busts slump with three hits Martinez went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and two runs Thursday against the Nationals.
Impact Martinez entered Thursday's contest mired in a 4-for-32 (.125) slump over the previous 10 games but reached base four times while collecting just his third three-hit performance of the season. It was also just the second time in 12 games he drove in at least one run. Despite the recent slump, the 36-year-old Martinez continues to provide quality production in his 14th season, posting a .274 average with 10 homers, 15 doubles, 38 RBI and 27 runs over 234 at-bats.

David Peterson - Tosses six scoreless, earns win Peterson (4-0) earned the win Thursday, tossing six scoreless innings while allowing four hits and three walks against the Nationals. He struck out five.
Impact Peterson, who has now given up two earned runs or fewer in all but one of his eight starts, kept the Nationals off the board to mark his first scoreless outing of the season. Peterson lowered his ERA from 3.58 to 3.09 with the outing, though a less impressive 1.42 WHIP belies that ERA and portends more trouble in the future, as indicated by the 5.71 xERA he held prior to Thursday's outing. Peterson will now receive extended time off as his next start is not scheduled to take place until following the All-Star break.

Reed Garrett - MRI reveals no damage MRI results on Garrett's right elbow revealed no ligament damage Thursday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
Impact Garrett will remain shut down from throwing for roughly one week while his inflammation subsides before beginning a throwing program shortly after the All-Star break. His return will depend on how he feels as he moves through his rehab process, but manager Carlos Mendoza said he expects the 31-year-old righty to be sidelined roughly 2-to-4 weeks.

Jose Iglesias - Feeling ill Thursday Iglesias is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals due to an illness, Steve Gelbs of SportsNet New York reports.
Impact Though he had been expected to start Thursday against southpaw MacKenzie Gore, the right-handed-hitting Iglesias apparently felt ill during Wednesday's 6-2 win and required an IV after cramping up following the game. Iglesias is apparently still feeling under the weather Thursday, so the Mets will let him rest in the series finale while Jeff McNeil steps in at second base.

Francisco Alvarez - Getting afternoon off Alvarez is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Alvarez will receive a breather for Thursday's matinee contest after he had started each of the previous four days, with three coming at catcher and one at designated hitter. Luis Torrens will fill in behind the dish Thursday in place of Alvarez, who is slashing .300/.382/.433 thus far in July.

Jose Iglesias - Hitting bench Thursday Iglesias is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact Though he'll hit the bench Thursday, Iglesias seems to have pushed his way into a near-everyday role in the New York infield. He had started in five of the previous six games, and he turned in another strong performance in Wednesday's 6-2 win, going 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and two runs. Jeff McNeil will cover second base Thursday, but McNeil could end up seeing more time in the corner outfield if the Mets want to continue opening up regular playing time in the infield for Iglesias.
