Mendoza noted that Nimmo was unable to get much sleep Wednesday night due to the ailment, so the Mets will hold him out of the lineup as they wrap up their series against Oakland with a day game. Jeff McNeil will pick up a start in the outfield in place of Nimmo, who has gone 3-for-32 with 11 strikeouts over his last nine starts to bring his batting average down to .226 for the season.
