Contrary to a previous report, Nimmo (neck) will not play for Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo was originally scheduled to play nine innings for Syracuse but will instead get the day off, with his next rehab appearance coming Friday at Triple-A, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. If everything goes off without a hitch in that appearance, the outfielder could be cleared to rejoin the Mets when rosters expand Sunday.

Nimmo (neck) will make another rehab appearance for Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo has been sidelined since May due to a bulging disc in his neck but appears to be on the cusp of a return. He's appeared in eight rehab games over the past two weeks, though the Mets want to see the outfielder play nine more innings at least once more before activating him.

Nimmo (neck) is slated to play nine innings for Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday and five innings Wednesday before being re-evaluated, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo has been sidelined since May due to a bulging disk in his neck. The Mets will see how he responds to playing in back-to-back contests before deciding whether he's ready to come off the injured list.

The Mets are expected to reinstate Nimmo (neck) from the 60-day injured list as soon as Friday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
On the shelf since late May with a bulging disc in his neck, Nimmo reached the final stage of his lengthy recovery from the injury when he was cleared to move his rehab assignment from High-A St. Lucie to Triple-A Syracuse last week. Nimmo has appeared in four games with Syracuse thus far, going 5-for-14 with two doubles and a walk. Before signing off on his return from the IL, the Mets will want to see how Nimmo fares after playing back-to-back games in the outfield for Syracuse on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Mets have incentive to reinstate Nimmo prior to Sept. 1, as he wouldn't be eligible for the postseason unless he's added back to the 40-man roster before that date.

Manager Mickey Callaway said he is not sure if Nimmo (neck) will come off the injured list before rosters expand, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo is in the midst of a rehab assignment but is out of the lineup Saturday. That decision doesn't seem to be related to a setback, as he is expected to return to game action Sunday. His status after that remains unknown at this point, though it is worth noting that rosters are set to expand Sept. 1.

Nimmo (neck) will continue his rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
He went 1-for-6 in two rehab games with High-A St. Lucie. It seems likely that Nimmo will continue his rehab at Triple-A at least until rosters expand in September, given how much time he's missed (out since May 20).

Nimmo (neck) will begin a rehab assignment for High-A St. Lucie on Friday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old has been sidelined since May 22 with a neck injury, but is ready to resume live game action as he works his way back to the major-league club. Nimmo is likely still several weeks away from a return to the big leagues even if he doesn't face any setbacks while on his rehab assignment.

General manager Brodie Van Wagenen said Nimmo (neck) could begin a rehab assignment in the next few days, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was reported earlier that Nimmo was at least a week away from beginning a rehab assignment, but he could be closer than expected to game action after getting through a live BP session with no issues Wednesday. Seeing as he's been sidelined since May 22, Nimmo will likely need to play in several rehab games before being cleared to rejoin the Mets.

Nimmo (neck) is expected to begin a minor-league rehab assignment within the next week to 10 days, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo has been on the shelf since May 22 with a bulging disc in his neck, so he'll likely need to play in several rehab games before being cleared to rejoin the Mets.

Nimmo (neck) was transferred to the 60-day IL on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo has already been sidelined for more than 60 days, so this move simply frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Brad Brach, who was signed to a contract Thursday. Nimmo has been doing regular baseball activities, and there is optimism he might begin a rehab assignment within the next week, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
