Nimmo (finger) came on as a pinch hitter for Steven Matz in the seventh inning of Tuesday's extra-inning win over the Pirates, going 0-for-1.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that he was able to swing a bat is an encouraging sign. Nimmo has been out of the starting lineup since jamming his right pinky finger Saturday, but it looks like his return to full-time action is imminent.

Nimmo (finger) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, according to Tim Healey of Newsday.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo was able to pinch run in Monday's game, but he is still unable to hit, so he will be held out of the lineup for a second day in a row. Nimmo will have a chance to return to action Wednesday, but with a team off day after that, there's a good chance the Mets hold him out at least until Friday.

Nimmo (finger) has not been cleared to hit in a game, but was used as a pinch runner Monday against the Pirates, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

He took dry swings prior to this game and said he felt fine, but the Mets clearly weren't ready to insert him into the lineup. Nimmo is day-to-day and could return to the lineup Tuesday.

An MRI taken Monady on Nimmo's injured pinky came back negative, and he is considered day-to-day, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

There was some concern that Nimmo could be dealing with a fractured finger, but the results of Monday's MRI revealed that he is not dealing with anything besides some soreness. While Nimmo seemingly is not facing any sort of long-term absence, he will not start Monday, and he will not do so until he can again "grip a bat without discomfort."

EDGE Analysis

The Mets have not yet revealed the results of the MRI Nimmo underwent Monday, but an initial report indicates he is not dealing with a serious injury. He will get at least one day off to rest and recover, however.

Nimmo (finger) "avoided a significant injury," according to Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record.

EDGE Analysis

The report did not include any other details regarding Nimmo's status, but it is still good news for all those invested in Nimmo's well-being. The Mets figure to provide an official update on Nimmo's health at some point in the near future.

Nimmo (finger) will get an MRI on Monday but is optimistic that nothing is broken, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. "It feels OK right now," Nimmo said after Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

He was wearing a splint on his right hand after leaving the game with a sore right pinky, but made it seem as though he won't be forced to miss much time. Nimmo already had X-rays, which were negative, so there's a chance he could return to action sometime next week.

Nimmo left Sunday's game against the Dodgers with a sore right pinky.

EDGE Analysis

X-rays were negative, a huge relief for the Mets. Nimmo has been one of the few bright spots for the struggling Mets, hitting an impressive .284/.400/.574 while working his way into an everyday role. It's unclear how much time he'll need to miss, if any.

Nimmo homered twice in a 4-for-6 game with four RBI Monday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo's first home run of the night was an inside-the-parker, but the second was a bit more traditional, a 449-foot shot to deep center field. Nimmo is having an absurd June, as he now has six home runs to boost his batting line to .288/.364/.661 over 15 games. Expect the Mets to keep riding the hot hand with Nimmo, who seems entrenched atop the Mets lineup for now.

Nimmo went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, double, and two runs scored Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo led the game off with a double and then put the Mets ahead in the ninth inning with a two-run home run off Brad Boxberger. It was his 10th home run of the season and the performance also marked his second consecutive multi-hit game. Though Yoenis Cespedes (hip, quadriceps) is set to start another rehab assignment, Nimmo is making his case to remain an everyday player, posting a .402 on-base percentage and .565 slugging percentage through 168 at-bats this season.
