Mets general manager Billy Eppler announced Saturday that Nimmo has been diagnosed with a low grade sprain in his right knee and ankle, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The good news is there's no structural damage according to the imaging. The bad news is that the outfielder has been diagnosed with the sprain, and will need to be evaluated on a week-to-week basis. The injury occurred when he jammed his knee/ankle into second base Friday while trying to break up a double play. Nimmo's status for Opening Day is very much in doubt, and this will be a situation that has to be monitored over the coming weeks.

Nimmo left Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins with right ankle soreness and will be undergo imagine on Saturday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It looked like Nimmo had jammed his knee while sliding into second base, but the club is saying instead it's his ankle that caused his early exit. The Mets have dealt with significant injuries over the past few weeks, and the loss of Nimmo would be a massive one for both fantasy managers and New York for the coming season. There should be some clarity on the injury before the end of the weekend.

Nimmo has left Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins with an apparent injury, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo appeared to jam his right knee while sliding into second base attempting to break up a double play, and he looked to be in serious pain before he limped off the field with an athletic trainer as well as Mets manager Buck Showalter. The outfielder will all but assuredly go in for further testing and there should be an update on his status well before Saturday.

Nimmo is starting in center field and batting leadoff in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo will see his first game action of spring training Sunday, as the Mets held him back a bit to open camp despite being in good health. The 29-year-old finally stayed healthy in 2022 and played in a career-high 151 games, and he delivered a .274/.367/.433 slash line with 16 home runs, 64 RBI and 102 runs. New York rewarded him with an eight-year, $162 million contract in December, and he's locked in as the club's center fielder for the foreseeable future.

Nimmo will make his Grapefruit League debut Sunday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo hasn't appeared in a spring game yet, but the outfielder isn't missing time for injury, but instead it's an effort to build up energy and durability after a career-high 673 plate appearances. The outfielder signed an eight-year, $162 million extension in the offseason, and he'll hit at or near the top of the lineup for the Mets in 2023.

Nimmo is likely to make his Grapefruit League debut this weekend, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo hasn't appeared in a game yet this spring, but he's simply building up energy and durability for the regular season after logging a huge number of plate appearances in 2022. The 29-year-old outfielder and leadoff man re-upped with the Mets this winter on an eight-year, $162 million deal.

Nimmo is expected to make his Grapefruit League debut this week, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo has been eased along in Mets camp this spring, but there are no injury concerns at the moment. The 29-year-old re-upped with New York in December on an eight-year, $162 million pact.

Nimmo likely won't see action in Grapefruit League games until next weekend, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old center fielder is healthy to begin camp, but given his injury history, the Mets are taking a cautious approach with him. Nimmo returned to New York on an eight-year, $162 million contract over the winter and figures to slot back in at the top of the order -- a role that led to a career-high 102 runs in 2022 -- thanks to his .385 career OBP.

Nimmo signed an eight-year, $162 million contract with the Mets on Thursday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets selected Nimmo 13th overall in the 2011 MLB Draft, and he's been with the team since. Barring a trade, this deal makes it extremely likely that he'll play his entire career with the club. Nimmo has compiled a 134 wRC+ and .362 wOBA across seven big-league seasons, which highlight his carrying skills of getting on base and making consistent contact. He's also a strong defensive center fielder and will be locked into the lineup at that position in 2023.

Nimmo isn't starting Wednesday against Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo has been on a tear at the plate recently, hitting .500 with two home runs, two doubles, six RBI, three runs, a walk and three strikeouts over the last five games. However, he'll get a breather while Terrance Gore starts in center field and bats ninth during Wednesday's regular-season finale.
