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.

Nimmo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo had started each of the Mets' first 12 games, producing a monstrous .490 on-base percentage while hitting out of the leadoff spot in each of the past 11 contests. He'll likely be getting a pre-planned rest day Wednesday, allowing Kevin Pillar to pick up a start in the outfield. Second baseman Jeff McNeil replaces Nimmo atop the order.

Nimmo went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
It's the third three-hit performance in the last five games for Nimmo, who just keeps getting on base. The 28-year-old sports a .464 batting average (13-for-28) and .583 OBP through eight games from the top of the Mets' order, but with most of the rest of the offense having sluggish starts to the year, he's only crossed the plate four times so far.

Nimmo went 3-for-6 with two walks, a run scored and three RBI across both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader as the Mets swept the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old did a great job setting the table as the Mets' leadoff hitter in both games, drawing two free passes and scoring in the opener before lacing three singles and driving in three runs in the nightcap. Nimmo has reached base multiple times in all seven games to begin the season, and while he's still looking for his first homer. he boasts a scorching .435/.581/.565 slash line.
