Nimmo (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list after Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old hadn't returned to the field since suffering a bone bruise on his left index finger Saturday, and he'll now make his way to the injured list. Nimmo could rejoin the team late next week if he only spends the 10-day minimum on the shelf, though it's unclear how long he's expected to be sidelined. Kevin Pillar is starting in Game 2 and figures to see the bulk of the time in center field during his absence for the Mets.

Nimmo (finger) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old suffered a bruised finger during Saturday's game and appeared to be in considerable pain, so it's not a major surprise to see him sitting out the series finale. Nimmo had X-rays come back negative after leaving the game and should be considered day-to-day. Manager Luis Rojas said prior to Sunday's game that he remains optimistic Nimmo will avoid a trip to the 10-day injured list, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Nimmo had X-rays come back negative on his left index finger and was diagnosed with a contusion after exiting Saturday's game against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old appeared to be in considerable pain when he sustained the injury during the seventh inning Saturday, so it's a sigh of relief that he didn't suffer a fracture or aggravate the hip issue he dealt with earlier in the week. Nimmo should be considered day-to-day for the time being, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him receive the day off for Sunday's series finale.

Nimmo exited Saturday's game against the Phillies with an apparent injury, SportsNet New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old doubled over in pain after fouling off a pitch during the seventh inning, and he quickly left the field after a chat with the athletic trainer. He received an injection earlier in the week to address a hip impingement, and he may have aggravated that injury Saturday. Nimmo should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated by the Mets.
