Nimmo said Friday that his left foot started feeling normal again within the past month and he's running at 91 percent of his top speed, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo dealt with plantar fasciitis in his left foot for much of the 2024 season and revealed in January that it was still bothering him. However, his foot now feels back to normal following a variety of remedies, including physical therapy, shock therapy, strengthening and a PRP injection. He also found new cleats that he believes will help. There's certainly a risk that Nimmo's plantar fasciitis will crop up again, but for now he's in a good spot. He plans to play in spring games by early March, which is a normal schedule for him.

Nimmo is still battling plantar fasciitis in his left foot but said Saturday that he plans on being ready for the start of the regular season, Bill Ladson of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo dealt with plantar fasciitis for most of the 2024 campaign, which may have played a factor in him finishing with a career-worst .726 OPS across 663 plate appearances. He's been able to resume jogging and hasn't stopped working in the batting cages, but progress in his foot has been slow over the offseason. The Mets plan on holding him out of the first several Grapefruit League games -- which isn't unusual for the 31-year-old outfielder -- but both he and the team are optimistic about his chances of being ready to go by Opening Day.

Nimmo revealed Sunday that he's dealt with plantar fasciitis in his left foot since May and aggravated the injury recently in Game 3 of the NLDS, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo noted that the foot doesn't really bother him while hitting or throwing in the outfield, but running causes discomfort. "I think when I really need it, I'm probably not 100 percent, but I can get going pretty good," he said. "But it's uncomfortable." Nimmo plans to continue playing through the injury during the NLCS and the World Series, should the Mets advance. He's slashing .241/.353/.345 with one home run in eight contests this postseason.

Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo led off the sixth with a solo home run against Zack Wheeler to put the Mets up 2-1, which ended up being the final score of the game. The home run brought Nimmo up to 22 for the year and was his third long ball in five games. Nimmo has at least one hit in eight of his last nine games and has driven in 12 RBI over that span. His 87 RBI this season has easily surpassed his previous season best of 68, and he needs two homers over the next week to match his career-high of 24.

Nimmo went 2-for-5 with a double, a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo launched a two-run shot off Taijuan Walker in the bottom of the third and then came right back with an RBI double in the fourth to extend New York's lead to five runs. It marked the outfielder's sixth-consecutive game with at least one hit and he's now homered in three of his last six contests. Over that latter stretch he's batting .291 (7-for-24) with nine RBI and six runs scored.

Nimmo went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 10-0 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Nimmo scored the first run of the Mets' nine-run outburst in the fourth inning, and he added a homer to finish the rally. This was just his second homer over the last 25 games, though it was enough to get him to the milestone of a second consecutive 20-homer campaign. The outfielder has also topped 80 RBI for the first time (81) despite a .227/.337/.398 slash line that represents his lowest marks in each category since 2019.

EDGE Analysis
Nimmo broke the game open in the Mets' big fifth inning, launching a three-run shot off Aaron Nola to extend New York's lead to 6-0.

The 31-year-old outfielder is now slashing .226/.337/.396 through 603 plate appearances this year with 19 homers, a career-best 78 RBI, 79 runs scored and 13 steals.

The steal was his career-high 12th of the season but first since Aug. 2, snapping a 20-game drought on the basepaths. Nimmo is slashing just .226/.305/.381 on the month with two homers, two stolen bases, seven RBI and 10 runs in 22 contests.
