EDGE Analysis

Nimmo, who has been sidelined since May 21 with a neck issue, will bat leadoff and serve as the designated hitter in his first game with St. Lucie. It remains to be seen how many rehab appearances the outfielder will require before being activated, though he's trending in the right direction.
