Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo gave Texas a lead it would never relinquish with a two-run home run in the third inning, his first in a Rangers' uniform. He was one of three new employees that contributed to the win along with Andrew McCutchen (HR, three RBI) and winning pitcher MacKenzie Gore (two runs, seven Ks, 5.1 innings). The early returns are positive for Nimmo, who also contributed to Saturday's win and went 4-for-12 out of the leadoff spot in winning two of three on the road against Philadelphia.

Nimmo went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The former Met singled and stole a base before scoring on a Jake Burger home run in the third inning. Nimmo then scored as the automatic runner in the 10th on a Wyatt Langford single. Nimmo is batting leadoff for Texas -- a job once held by Marcus Semien, the player he was traded for -- and that role gives him an excellent chance to steal double-digit bags for a third straight season.

Nimmo started in right field and batted leadoff, going 1-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Wednesday's spring exhibition against Team Brazil.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo made his spring debut as part of a plan to gradually build up the veteran outfielder. He's expected to be the primary leadoff hitter for the Rangers in 2026.

Nimmo is on a specific ramp-up plan and will begin playing in Cactus League games in March, Matt Postins of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The slow ramp-up is designed to have Nimmo, who turns 33 later this month, fresh for Opening Day, according to Texas manager Skip Schumaker. Nimmo is expected to bat leadoff for the Rangers, taking the spot in the order that had belonged to Marcus Semien, the player he was traded for in November.

Manager Skip Schumaker said Sunday that he expects Nimmo to open the season as the Rangers' everyday right fielder and leadoff hitter, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Josh Smith served as Texas' primary leadoff man in 2025, but Nimmo's .350 career OBP and less extreme splits make for a more logical choice at the top of the order. After batting fourth or fifth for much of last season with the Mets, Nimmo will lose out on RBI opportunities with the move, but he could make a push for his first 100-run campaign since 2022 while hitting in front of Corey Seager and Wyatt Langford. The move to right field could prove to be a more challenging adjustment for Nimmo, as he hasn't seen action there since 2020.

The Mets are finalizing a trade that will send Nimmo to the Rangers in exchange for infielder Marcus Semien, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo is coming off a 2025 campaign during which he posted a .760 OPS with 25 home runs, 92 RBI and 13 stolen bases over 652 regular-season plate appearances. He also played in a career-high 155 contests and has been relatively durable in recent campaigns, logging at least 151 appearances every year since 2022 despite managing a foot injury. Nimmo should immediately take on a starting role in the Rangers' outfield and will be looked to for some pop, as he's averaged 24 regular-season long balls over the past three years. However, his defense has slipped of late (probably at least in part due to the foot issue), and he has five years remaining on his current deal, which may explain why the Mets decided to move him. Nimmo has a full no-trade clause in his contract, but he's already approved the deal, per Will Sammon of The Athletic.

Nimmo went 3-for-4 with one RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

This was Nimmo's fifth multi-hit effort over his last 11 games, a span in which he has hit .319 (15-for-47). He has added three homers and 11 RBI in that span despite racking up 13 strikeouts. The outfielder is up to a .264/.326/.442 slash line with 25 homers, 92 RBI, 81 runs scored, 27 doubles and 12 stolen bases through 152 games this season. He'll set a career high in games played when he next takes the field.

Nimmo will start in center field and bat cleanup in Tuesday's contest versus the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo has plenty of past center-field experience, but this will be just his fifth appearance and first start at the position this season. Starling Marte will start in left field for the Mets.

Nimmo went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in Thursday's 6-1 win over San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo extended New York's lead to 5-1 in the third inning with his homer off lefty Wandy Peralta, his 24th of the year to match a career high. The 32-year-old Nimmo's gone 6-for-20 (.300) with a pair of homers in his last five games. Overall, he's batting .261 with a .768 OPS, 86 RBI, 76 runs scored and 12 stolen bases through 612 plate appearances this season.

Nimmo went 3-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI and two additional runs scored during Friday's 19-9 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo helped the Mets jump out to an early lead with a three-run homer off Eury Perez in the first inning before belting a solo shot in the sixth. Nimmo is now up to 22 home runs on the season, which is two off from his career high that he set in 2022. Outside of Aug. 20 to 24 -- when he was dealing with nick stiffness -- Nimmo has collected at least one hit in each of his last 14 games, going 19-for-49 (.388) with 13 runs, three homers and 14 RBI over that span.
