Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 16-4 loss to the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

He took Sean Doolittle deep in the ninth inning when the game was already long decided. Nimmo came into the game having gone just 2-for-20 over his last eight contests, although that "slump" came with 11 walks. On the season, the 27-year-old is slashing .226/.423/.337 with two homers, five RBI and 12 runs in 17 games.

Nimmo is not in the lineup Saturday against Miami, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo sits with lefty Daniel Castano starting for the Marlins, though there's no evidence that he'll be slipping into a platoon role any time soon, as he'd been in the lineup for each of the Mets' first 14 games this season. Billy Hamilton gets the nod in center field in his absence.

Nimmo went 0-for-2 with three walks and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Neither team produced much offense -- there were only 12 total hits in the game, none longer than a double -- so Nimmo's ability to get on base from the top of the Mets' order proved to be crucial. The 27-year-old is hitting only .227 (10-for-44) through 13 games, but he has 12 walks and three HBP to fuel a robust .424 OBP.

Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

His fifth-inning shot off Nathan Eovaldi was Nimmo's first homer of the season. The 27-year-old is off to a strong start at the plate, posting a .286/.400/.524 slash line through six games.

Nimmo will lead off and play center field for Friday's season opener against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

A neck issue limited Nimmo to just 69 games last season, and his numbers dipped from his breakout 2018 campaign, though his .221/.375/.407 slash line was still good for a solidly above-average 114 wRC+. He doesn't have the speed of a traditional leadoff man, as he's never reached double-digit steals, but his lifetime 15.2 percent walk rate and .387 on-base percentage make him an excellent table-setter. If he leads off consistently for the Mets this season, he should have plenty of opportunities to score with the likes of Jeff McNeil, Pete Alonso, Michael Conforto and Yoenis Cespedes hitting behind him.

Nimmo appeared healthy and productive in spring training before MLB was put on pause, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The outfielder had a health scare in late February due to an irregular heartbeat, but after Nimmo underwent cardiac tests, the issue wasn't deemed to be one which would affect him on the field. He went out and proved it once he returned to action, posting a .379/.455/.552 slash line through 33 plate appearances. His OBP skills should keep him near the top of the Mets' batting order most days once the regular season begins, and while his fantasy production probably won't jump off the page, he could be a sneaky source of runs as a result.

Nimmo (chest) is back in the lineup Friday against the Cardinals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo was scratched Wednesday for cardiac tests. Per Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record, tests revealed an irregular heartbeat, but not one which is expected to affect Nimmo's ability to play. The situation appeared potentially worrisome, but he was cleared to return to action the next day and is already back in the lineup, so it doesn't seem as though his preparation for the upcoming season will be significantly impacted.

Nimmo (chest) has been cleared to resume baseball activities, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo was sent for additional tests by the team's cardiologist, but he's since been cleared to return to action. Expect the outfielder to appear in a spring game within the next few days.

Nimmo's removal from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros for cardiac tests is considered purely precautionary, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Luis Rojas said he didn't know why exactly the team's cardiologist ordered additional tests for the outfielder. The Mets don't currently appear particularly concerned about the issue, though the full picture won't become clear until the tests are complete.

Nimmo was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against Houston to undergo cardiac screening, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear what triggered the need for tests. Nimmo's expected return timeline should become clear once the results of the tests are known.
