Nimmo (illness) is expected to be in the lineup Saturday against the Astros, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo has yet to debut this spring, first battling shoulder soreness and then a virus. A return Saturday would give him plenty of time to get up to speed by Opening Day.

Nimmo (illness) is not in the lineup for Friday's spring game against the Tigers, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo was set to make his spring debut in the outfield Thursday but ended up being sent home due to illness. It was originally thought the illness was due to eating undercooked chicken, but his wife Chelsea tweeted Friday that test results revealed he is dealing with a virus. Nimmo resumed working out Thursday but may need a couple more days before being able to step into the lineup.

Nimmo reported back to Mets camp Thursday after falling ill with a stomach bug Tuesday night, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo got sick after eating some undercooked chicken and said he lost about four pounds as a result of the bug. The outfielder seemed much healthier when talking with reporters Thursday, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Mets kept him out of the Grapefruit League lineup for a couple more days while he works to regain strength.

Nimmo was absent at Mets camp Wednesday due to a stomach bug, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo's spring debut was delayed while he managed right shoulder fatigue at the onset of camp, but he slotted into the lineup as the Mets' designated hitter Tuesday against the Tigers. He reported no setbacks with the shoulder coming out of the contest, but the illness surfaced overnight and necessitated a round of fluids Wednesday morning. The Mets had planned on having Nimmo play the outfield for the first time in spring training during Thursday's game versus the Cardinals, but that's presumably no longer in the works. The stomach ailment shouldn't keep him sidelined long beyond Thursday, however.

Nimmo (shoulder) said he expects to play outfield for the first time this spring Thursday against the Cardinals, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo, who has been limited by a shoulder injury early in camp, said he felt great after making his Grapefruit League debut Tuesday. The 25-year-old went 1-for-5 with a strikeout while serving as the team's designated hitter. Assuming he checks out in the coming days, he should be cleared to make his return to the field later in the week.

Nimmo (shoulder) will play his first game of the spring Tuesday against the Tigers, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo's start to spring has been delayed by a sore right shoulder, though he hasn't been particularly concerned about the issue. If his spring continues without setbacks, he'll have more than enough time to be ready by Opening Day.

Nimmo (shoulder) won't return to game action Saturday but was able to take full batting practice, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo has been slowed by a sore right shoulder, but the problem isn't considered a serious one. The outfielder called the issue nothing more than "early-season soreness," and now that he's able to take full batting practice it shouldn't be long before he returns to a game, giving him ample time to build up to game shape by Opening Day. Nimmo expects to return as a designated hitter Tuesday against the Tigers, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.

Nimmo (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Saturday's Grapefruit League opener against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Tests on Nimmo's shoulder came back clean, but the Mets have no reason to force the issue, especially this early in camp. Nimmo called the problem "early-season soreness." Juan Lagares will get the nod Saturday, but Nimmo is expected to serve as the primary center fielder to open 2019, affording Jeff McNeil opportunities in left.

Nimmo has no concerns about his sore right shoulder after tests came back clean Friday, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo hadn't been particularly worried to begin with, calling the problem "early-season soreness." It remains to be seen whether Nimmo will suit up for Saturday's spring opener against the Braves or if he will take it easy for a few more days.

Nimmo has a sore right shoulder, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo isn't particularly concerned about the issue, calling it "early-season soreness," but the discomfort was enough for him to avoid throwing during defensive drills Wednesday. The extent of the injury should become clear in the next few days. The Mets open Grapefruit League on Saturday against the Braves, and whether or not Nimmo is in the lineup could hint at the team's level of concern.
