Nimmo (finger) could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list during the Mets' upcoming road trip, which is scheduled to begin Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo restarted his rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, and he's gone 1-for-4 with two runs and a walk across two games. He's expected to remain with the minor-league club through the weekend, but he could rejoin the Mets as early as Monday. The 28-year-old hit .318 with a home run, eight RBI, seven runs and two stolen bases in 22 major-league games prior to his injury, and he should take over as the primary center fielder once cleared to return.

Nimmo (finger) will start in center field and bat leadoff in a rehab game Sunday for Triple-A Syracuse, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo will be making his first appearance for Syracuse -- and playing in his first game at any level -- since May 13, after his initial rehab assignment with the Triple-A affiliate was paused when he felt some renewed pain in the sprained finger on his left hand. Five weeks later, Nimmo is feeling healthy again, and he should be ready to return from the 10-day injured list at some point later this week once he ramps up a bit at Triple-A. Along with Nimmo, Michael Conforto (hamstring) is in the midst of a rehab assignment at Syracuse, so the Mets should soon be back to full strength in the outfield.

Manager Luis Rojas said Nimmo (finger) could begin a rehab assignment next week, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old progressed to taking batting practice this week and is nearing the final stages of his rehab work. Nimmo hasn't seen game action since early May and figures to require a handful of games in the minors to get back up to game speed. Depending when he begins the rehab stint, the outfielder could be activated by the end of June or early July.

Nimmo (finger) took batting practice on the field Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old resumed light swinging last week and has now progressed to full swings in batting practice as he returns from a small ligament tear near the base of his left index finger. According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, Nimmo could begin a rehab assignment in the near future if he can avoid any setbacks in his rehab work.

Nimmo (finger) hopes to head out on a rehab assignment next week, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Upon receiving a second opinion, Nimmo learned that he is not dealing with a nerve issue but actually a small ligament tear near the base of his left index finger. It should heal on its own. He appears to be tracking toward a late-June activation from the injured list if he avoids setbacks.

Nimmo (finger) has resumed swinging, although at a low intensity, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo unsuccessfully tried to hit off a tee and soft toss last week, but had to stop because his bruised finger continued to cause him pain. He's resumed swinging, though it doesn't appear that he's close to facing high-velocity pitching. With that being said, a late-June return remains a best-case scenario for the outfielder.

Nimmo (finger) has no timetable for a new rehab assignment, Deesha Thosar of The New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to manager Luis Rojas on Tuesday, Nimmo recently attempted to hit off a tee and take soft toss from a coach but his finger was still bothering him. The outfielder last saw action May 13 at Triple-A Syracuse before that rehab stint was cut short, and he'll need a couple weeks to get back into game shape once he's finally comfortable swinging a bat again.

Nimmo (finger) left his rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse and is rejoining the Mets to receive treatment, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old began the rehab stint Thursday but was out of the lineup for Syracuse the past two days while feeling some pain in his bruised finger, leading to him rejoin the big-league club to reassess. Manager Luis Rojas said Nimmo won't take at-bats or resume a rehab assignment until the he's "100 percent pain-free," so the outfielder can be considered out indefinitely for the time being.

Nimmo (finger) remains out of the lineup for Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo began a rehab assignment Thursday but felt pain in his bruised left index finger during that game and was held out of Friday's contest. The Mets hoped for merely a one-day absence but he'll wind up missing at least one more game. His expected return to the active roster won't become clear until he gets through a rehab game or two without issues.

Nimmo felt some pain in his bruised finger during a rehab at-bat for Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday and won't play in Friday's game, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo looked to be nearly ready to return after beginning a rehab assignment Thursday, but his rehab has been put on hold for at least a day. It's not yet clear if he's suffered a significant setback or if he'll be just one day behind schedule.
