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.

Nimmo was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
No reason for Nimmo's removal was given. He left Saturday's game against the Marlins after getting hit by a pitch. While he returned to the lineup Monday, it's possible the issue is still bothering him.

Nimmo (undisclosed) will start in center field and bat second in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old sat out Sunday's game against the Cardinals after being hit by a pitch a day earlier, but the one-day respite was apparently all Nimmo needed to move past the plunking. Nimmo's 2019 campaign was derailed by injury, but now that he's ostensibly healthy again, he looks poised to occupy at least a large-side platoon role in the New York outfield this season.

Nimmo (undisclosed) is not in the lineup for Sunday's spring game, according to Tim Healey of Newsday.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo was removed from Saturday's spring game after being hit by a pitch, and he will get at least one full day to rest and recover before returning to game action.

Nimmo exited Saturday's game against the Marlins for precautionary reasons after getting hit by a pitch, Andersen Pickard of MLB Daily Dish reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Mets don't appear to be concerned about the issue, but the team has little reason not to be overly cautious this early in spring. The nature of Nimmo's minor injury is not yet clear.

Nimmo and the Mets agreed to a one-year, $2.175 million contract Friday, avoiding arbitration, freelance baseball writer Robert Murray reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo struggled earlier in the season before a neck injury sidelined him for over half the year. He rebounded well in September, giving him a .221/.375/.407 slash line (114 wRC+) in 69 games overall.

Nimmo is not in the lineup Monday against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo has started the past seven games and gone 8-for-27 (.296) with three home runs, seven RBI and five runs scored during that stretch. Juan Lagares is starting in center field and hitting eighth against lefty Caleb Smith in Monday's series opener.

Nimmo went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old is hitting only .241 (7-for-29) in 14 games since coming off the injured list at the beginning of September, but Nimmo's 12:11 BB:K has given him a .465 OBP in that span. On the year, he's slashing .208/.369/.384 through 57 contests with six homers and 22 RBI.

Nimmo is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo is getting on base at a .500 clip since his return from the injured list, but this is now three consecutive absences, all against opposing lefty starters. It may be frustrating for fantasy owners, but it makes sense that the Mets would want to limit his workload after Nimmo spent more than three months on the shelf. Juan Lagares is serving as his platoon partner.

Nimmo is out of the lineup for Friday's game versus the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo finds himself on the bench for the second straight contest and has started six of 12 games since being activated off the injured list at the start of September. The Mets may be taking it easy with the 25-year-old after he spent more than three months on the injured list with a bulging disc in his neck. Juan Lagares receives the start in center field against lefty Clayton Kershaw.
