Nimmo was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday in the wake of Yoenis Cespedes' placement on the 15-day disabled list, Maria I. Guardado of The Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo will enter the mix in the outfield and could see consistent starts against left-handed pitching due to Michael Conforto's ineptitude against southpaws. The playing time split should reveal itself in the coming days, but the two remain just temporary fill-ins until Cespedes returns from the disabled list.
