Nimmo (neck) remains on the bench Friday against St. Louis, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo left Tuesday's game against the Phillies with a stiff neck and has yet to return to the field. He doesn't believe he'll need a trip to the injured list but will need at least one more game to rest. Jeff McNeil starts in left field, with Juan Lagares in center.

Nimmo acknowledged Wednesday that he's still dealing with a fair amount of soreness in his neck and lacks full range of motion, but he doesn't believe the issue is serious enough to result in a trip to the injured list, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale with the Phillies, and his assessment of the injury suggests he won't be available in a pinch-hitting capacity either. The outfielder took a muscle relaxer overnight to address the stiffness he was experiencing in his neck, but it failed to result in much improvement. Nimmo will get another rest day Thursday with the Mets off the schedule, but he may need to show notable progress ahead of Friday's series opener in St. Louis to meet his goal of avoiding the IL.

Nimmo (neck) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo left early in Tuesday's 14-3 loss after experiencing neck stiffness and will unsurprisingly take a seat in the series finale while he contends with the issue. The Mets are viewing Nimmo's injury as a day-to-day situation, so there's some optimism he'll be ready to rejoin the lineup Friday in St. Louis after he sits Wednesday and picks up another day of rest when New York is off Thursday.

Nimmo (neck) is not expected to be in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale at Philadelphia, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo was forced from Tuesday's game during the first inning due to neck stiffness. The Mets have a scheduled off day Thursday, so it would make sense for the 26-year-old to sit for the series finale and recover for two full days before hopefully returning Friday against the Cardinals.

Nimmo exited Tuesday's game against the Phillies with neck stiffness, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo appeared to be grabbing at his right shoulder when he left the field, but the Mets clarified he's dealing with a neck issue. The 26-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now, while Juan Lagares has taken over in center field.

Nimmo went 1-for-3 with three walks, a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
One of the walks was intentional, but they all count the same in OBP leagues. Over his last eight games, the 26-year-old is slashing a dizzying .393/.500/.821 with three homers, seven RBI and 10 runs. Nimmo's early-season struggles are firmly behind him, and he should remain a fixture at the top of the Mets' order going forward.

Nimmo went 2-for-5 in Sunday's loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Moved back up to the leadoff spot against right-hander Julio Teheran, Nimmo stayed locked in at the plate. He's put his early-season slump behind him, hitting .400 (10-for-25) over his last seven games with two homers, six RBI and eight runs, and the 26-year-old should retain plenty of fantasy value at the top of the Mets' order.

Nimmo is not starting Saturday against the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo sits for the third time this season. He started the year very cold at the plate but has hit .389 with two homers in his last five games. Keon Broxton gets the start in left field.

Nimmo went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 6-2 win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
His second-inning shot off Kyle Wright gave the Mets a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Nimmo got dropped down to the eighth spot from leadoff in this one and responded well, so look for him to stay lower in the order for now while he tries to get into a groove at the plate. He's slashing .205/..340/.409 through 13 games with two homers, six RBI and 11 runs.
