Nimmo is dealing with a bulging disc in his neck as well as whiplash, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
An MRI revealed no structural damage in Nimmo's neck Wednesday, but the outfielder's injury apparently remains something worse than simply inflammation. The neck pain stems from an outfield collision in mid-April and has bothered him intermittently since then, even though he has typically remained in the lineup. The constant neck pain likely plays a part in Nimmo's poor .200/.344/.323 season slash line. The outfielder has no timeline for his return.

Nimmo was diagnosed with neck inflammation Wednesday after an MRI revealed no structural damage, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo landed on the 10-day injured list earlier Wednesday with what was originally labeled as neck stiffness, but the MRI clarified the injury. The 26-year-old will rest for a few days in hopes the inflammation subsides. Carlos Gomez and J.D. Davis are likely to see increased chances in the outfield given the numerous injuries to the Mets' outfield.

Nimmo was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a stiff neck, Mike Mazzeo of Yahoo Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
He underwent an MRI earlier in the day, and for now the injury is just being labeled as a stiff neck. Rajai Davis was promoted from Triple-A to take Nimmo's place on the active roster, while Carlos Gomez and J.D. Davis figure to get extended playing time in the outfield while the Mets' primary outfielders, all of whom are on the shelf, attempt to heal up.

Nimmo (neck) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday, Mike Mazzeo of Yahoo Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo was originally scheduled to start in center field and bat leadoff Tuesday, but he was scratched from due to neck stiffness. The 26-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him held out of the lineup again Wednesday as the neck issue as apparently bothered him on-and-off since April, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.

Nimmo went 1-for-3 with a double, two walks and an RBI in Tuesday's win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
His game-tying RBI double in the seventh inning snapped an 0-for-28 slide at the dish. It was his second long slump already this year, and Nimmo is now down to .196/.328/.327 for the season. The 25-year-old's chase rate has held firm, but when he does chase, he's making contact on those pitches at a far lower rate than last year. He should continue to play regularly, but Nimmo has been batting lower in the lineup lately and will likely remain in the bottom half of the batting order for the time being.

Nimmo is not in the lineup Saturday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Lefty Gio Gonzalez is just the sixth southpaw the Mets have faced all season. Nimmo has started against three of them. Juan Lagares starts in center field in his absence.
