Lands on IL Nido (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Impact Despite receiving encouraging MRI results Wednesday, the catcher will be out until the start of July at the earliest while his wrist heals. Patrick Mazeika, whom the Mets recalled Tuesday, will back up James McCann while Nido is sidelined.

Receives clean MRI Nido (wrist) underwent an MRI on Wednesday that came back clean, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Nido suffered a wrist injury in the first game of Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta, but he's still dealing with some limitations despite Wednesday's encouraging update. The exact nature of his injury isn't yet clear, and whether he requires time on the injured list remains to be seen.

Exits with apparent injury Nido left the first game of Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta with an apparent wrist injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Nido was hit in the wrist by a pitch and replaced by James McCann, who will almost certainly start behind the plate for the nightcap. The severity of Nido's injury is not yet clear.

DeGrom fans 11 in 7 dominant innings, Mets blank Padres 4-0

Jacob deGrom kept up his dominance of major league hitters, striking out 11 over seven innings and pitching the New York Mets past the high-powered San Diego Padres 4-0

Set to lose playing time Nido is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact With James McCann logging more reps at first base of late, Nido has enjoyed a near-everyday role behind the plate. However, catching in eight of the last 11 games, Nido's run of steady playing time looks to be over after Pete Alonso (hand) was reinstated from the injured list. With Alonso taking over as the Mets' primary first baseman, McCann will begin logging more time behind the dish.

Cranks homer in win Nido went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's victory over the Rockies.

Impact Nido took Chi Chi Gonzalez deep in the sixth inning to tally his third long ball of the year while giving the Mets the lead for good. The 27-year-old continues to shine while filling in for James McCann behind the plate, making six starts over the last eight games and going 7-for-20 with two home runs during that span. Across 19 games this season, Nido is batting .260/.315/.520.

Surprise source of offense in win Nido went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored Tuesday in the Mets' 3-1 win over Atlanta.

Impact Valued mainly for his work as a game caller behind the dish, Nido came through with a rare big day at the plate for a Mets offense missing several key contributors due to injury. The three-hit outing was the first of Nido's career, but he's unlikely to be rewarded with an uptick in starts so long as No. 1 backstop James McCann is available. McCann had started in eight of the previous nine games before getting a much-needed breather Monday.

Launches homer Nido went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Impact Nido didn't see action during the first game of the twin bill but made his presence felt in Game 2, as he was one of three players with two hits and two RBI while also going deep for the first time in 2021. The 27-year-old backstop only has 16 at-bats this season, however, and the lack of playing time certainly conspires against his fantasy upside.
