Nimmo (neck) was transferred to the 60-day IL on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo has already been sidelined for more than 60 days, so this move simply frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Brad Brach, who was signed to a contract Thursday. Nimmo has been doing regular baseball activities, and there is optimism he might begin a rehab assignment within the next week, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
