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.

Manager Mickey Callaway said Nimmo (neck) is "still a ways away from game action," Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo has been sidelined since May 22 with a bulging disc in his neck. While he's been doing regular baseball activities for more than a week now, it sounds like the outfielder is still at least several weeks away from rejoining the big club.

Nimmo (neck) has started throwing and hitting off a tee, Matt Ehalt of Yahoo Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is another small step forward for Nimmo, who's been on the shelf since May 22 due to a bulging disk in his neck. However, he still has a long way to go before returning to the big leagues, as he'll face a lengthy rehab assignment before being reinstated.

Nimmo (neck) is playing catch and ramping up his running, Matt Ehalt of Yahoo Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
He is slightly ahead of his timeline, as the Mets said they were shutting Nimmo down for a month back on June 18. He will need to clear several more hurdles on his rehab before being sent for a lengthy rehab assignment. If all goes well, Nimmo could be activated in early-to-mid August.

Nimmo (neck) won't perform any baseball activities for the next month, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo has been on the injured list for nearly a month due to a bulging disk in his neck. He had been on a rehab stint for a week before being shut down again as the problem persisted. He'll now rest for at least another month and won't be resuming activity until after the All-Star break. If things go smoothly for him at that point, he could still play a significant role over the final two months of the season, though it's tough to be confident about any particular return date given the rocky nature of his season so far.

Nimmo (neck) will see more medical specialists with the bulging disc in his neck still causing problems, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo was scratched from the lineup Friday at Triple-A Syracuse for his scheduled rehab game and appears to have aggravated his neck issue. The 26-year-old won't have an official return timeline until he is further evaluated, but for the time being his return to the majors will be put on hold.

Nimmo was scratched from Friday's lineup at Triple-A Syracuse due to neck soreness, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo has been rehabbing at Triple-A as of Tuesday, though a setback will hold him out of Friday's lineup. He's been on the injured list since May 22 due to a bulging disk in his neck, so this is certainly a cause for concern. Nimmo will be re-evaluated Saturday to determine the next step in his recovery process.

Nimmo (neck) will continue his rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo will shift his rehab to the highest level of the minors after appearing in a trio of rehab games for High-A St. Lucie and going 2-for-8 with a triple and two walks in those contests. The Mets have yet to confirm how many additional rehab games Nimmo will need to appear in with Syracuse before being reinstated, though he's seemingly closing in on a return.

Nimmo (neck) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with High-A St. Lucie on Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo, who has been sidelined since May 21 with a neck issue, will bat leadoff and serve as the designated hitter in his first game with St. Lucie. It remains to be seen how many rehab appearances the outfielder will require before being activated, though he's trending in the right direction.

Nimmo has been participating in full baseball activities, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo landed on the injured list with a bulging disc in his neck in late May, an issue he'd apparently been dealing with since mid-April and which could have been contributing to his .200/.344/.323 slash line. His timeline remains unclear, but he appears to be making progress.
