TOMÁS NIDO NEWS

Gets breather Tuesday Nido is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Nido will take a seat Tuesday after he went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Monday's win. Patrick Mazeika will start at catcher and bat ninth against Atlanta. Nido will likely continue to garner the lion's share of work behind the plate while James McCann (oblique) is on the 10-day injured list.

Steps in for injured McCann Nido will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game in Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Nido will make his second consecutive start and should act as the Mets' No. 1 catcher for the foreseeable future after James McCann was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with an oblique strain that manager Buck Showalter said will keep the veteran backstop sidelined for "weeks." With that being the case, it wouldn't be surprising if the Mets looked outside of the organization for catching help ahead of the Aug. 2 deadline, as Nido is probably best suited for a backup role. Though he draws praise for his abilities as a game caller and pitch framer, Nido has been a well below league-average hitter (51 wRC+) over parts of six seasons in the majors.

Returns to No. 2 role Nido is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Nido is on the bench for the second straight contest and is expected to see his opportunities take a steep hit moving forward after the Mets reinstated top backstop James McCann (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Friday. Before McCann's return, Nido had started in seven of the Mets' previous eight games while going 3-for-22 with a run and an RBI.

Day off Tuesday Nido will sit Tuesday in Houston.

Retreats to bench Nido is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Nido will get a much-needed breather after he went 2-for-17 with an RBI and a pair of runs while starting behind the plate in each of the past five games. Patrick Mazeika will get a start at catcher Wednesday, but Nido seems to have clearly established himself as the Mets' No. 1 backstop while James McCann (wrist) remains on the injured list.

Mets play the Dodgers after Nido's 4-hit game

The New York Mets play the Los Angeles Dodgers after Tomás Nido had four hits against the Nationals on Wednesday

JUNE 2, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Four hits in win Nido went 4-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Nationals.

Impact This was Nido's third multi-hit effort of the season as well as his first career four-hit game. He knocked in a run in the fourth inning with a single before adding a two-run double in the eighth. The catcher is up to a .253/.276/.289 slash line with nine RBI, seven runs scored and three doubles through 30 contests. Nido appears to have picked up a slight edge in playing time over Patrick Mazeika, with the former starting in each of the last three games.

On bench Sunday Nido is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Nido and Patrick Mazeika have now alternated turns behind the plate over the past seven games, with the former getting three starts to the latter's four. Expect a rough timeshare to remain in place for the two backstops until James McCann (wrist) is cleared to return from the 10-day injured list, likely at some point shortly before the All-Star break.

Gets breather Saturday Nido isn't starting Saturday against Philadelphia, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Nido has gone 4-for-16 with two runs, an RBI, a walk and four strikeouts over his last five games, but he's alternated starts behind the dish recently. Patrick Mazeika will start at catcher and bat ninth Saturday.

MAY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Resting Wednesday Nido is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Nido will take a seat for Wednesday's matinee game after he started behind the plate in Tuesday's 13-12 loss and went 1-for-3 with a run scored. Patrick Mazeika will draw the starting nod at catcher, forming a battery with pitcher Thomas Szapucki in the lefty's first MLB start.

MAY 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to bench Nido is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Impact Nido is the Mets' primary catcher with James McCann out with a wrist injury, but he doesn't appear to have a particularly heavy workload. He'll sit in favor of Patrick Mazeika for the fifth time in the last 10 games Monday.

MAY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On bench for matinee Nido isn't starting the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact Nido has alternated starts behind the dish over the last week, and he'll get a breather in Saturday's matinee. Patrick Mazeika will start at catcher and bat ninth.

MAY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gets breather Wednesday Nido isn't starting Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Impact Nido went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Tuesday's nightcap, and he'll be on the bench for the third time in the last five games. Patrick Mazeika will start behind the plate and bat ninth.

MAY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting for first game Nido will sit for the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Impact Unsurprisingly, the Mets won't ask Nido to catch two games in one day. Patrick Mazeika will catch for Trevor Williams in the afternoon contest, with Nido presumably lined up to start the nightcap.

MAY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Saturday Nido isn't starting Saturday against the Mariners.

Impact Nido started in the last three games and went 2-for-9 with an RBI, a walk and two strikeouts. Patrick Mazeika will take over behind the plate and bat ninth Saturday.

MAY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Drives in two Wednesday Nido went 2-for-3 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 10-5 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact His two-run two-bagger in the second inning gave the Mets an early 2-1 lead, but it didn't last long. Nido has been alternating starts with James McCann over the last week as both backstops struggle to build some momentum at the plate, and even after Wednesday's effort, Nido has a .214/.207/.250 slash line through 28 plate appearances.

Back on bench Nido isn't included in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Nido picked up his fourth start of the season Saturday, going 0-for-2 with two strikeouts in the Mets' 3-2 loss. No. 1 backstop James McCann will be back behind plate for the series finale, resulting in Nido moving back into his typical bench role. Nido has gone 3-for-13 at the dish through his four starts.

APRIL 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Raking this spring Nido is batting .417 (10-for-24) with a double and a homer this spring.

Impact The Mets' backup catcher has only a .566 OPS in his big-league career, so don't expect him to maintain that level of offense once the regular season begins. Nido will likely need a James McCann injury to see significant playing time in 2022, but his spot on the roster at least seems secure for now with top prospect Francisco Alvarez still a couple years away from the majors.
