Nimmo will open the second half of the season in the majors, ESPN New York reports

EDGE Analysis

Nimmo has slumped after a strong start to his major-league career but is not in any short-term danger of losing his spot. Michael Conforto has hit well in his 13 games since his demotion to Triple-A but the Mets believe he needs more time in the minors. That gives Nimmo a reprieve, but he will need to pick it up quickly or a swap of the two lefty-hitter outfielders could occur quickly.
