Nido is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's the second straight day on the bench for Nido after he started the previous two contests. Francisco Alvarez is starting behind the plate and catching ninth Sunday, and it appears the pair will split playing time relatively evenly with Omar Narvaez (calf) on the injured list.

Nido will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Though the Mets called up top prospect Francisco Alvarez from Triple-A Syracuse over the weekend, Nido still looks poised to serve as the team's top option at catcher while Omar Narvaez (calf) is on the shelf. While he brings far less offensive upside to the table than Alvarez, Nido's pitch-framing and game-calling skills are valued by the organization. Nido will be making his third start in four contests Monday.

Nido is starting at catcher and batting ninth for the Mets in Friday's game versus the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets are going with Nido over youngster Francisco Alvarez in their home opener. Nido's strong defense will ensure he still gets plenty of playing time even with the talented Alvarez on the roster.

Nido went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start behind the plate and hitting sixth, Nido took Drew VerHagen deep in the fifth inning. It's the backstop's third homer this spring, and he's gone 10-for-26 (.385) in Grapefruit League action while adding a couple doubles as well. The 28-year-old will split time behind the plate with Omar Narvaez this season, likely filling the short side of a platoon, but Nido's career .220/.257/.323 slash line in 744 plate appearances doesn't suggest an offensive breakout is imminent.

Nido agreed to a two-year, $3.7 million contract extension with the Mets on Wednesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The contract covers Nido's remaining arbitration years and pays him $1.6 million in 2023 and $2.1 million in 2024. The 28-year-old is expected to serve as a backup backstop again after registering a .239/.276/.324 slash line over 313 plate appearances for the Mets in 2022.

Nido is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Nido will be on the bench for the second straight game to close out the regular season. Francisco Alvarez will replace him behind the dish.

Nido went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Nido's eighth-inning shot was too little and too late, as the Mets were behind by four and it would turn out to be the final run of the game as Atlanta took the win. It was Nido's third homer of the season, all of which have come this month. The catcher has been heating up in September, slashing .333/.340/.608 and raising his season batting average from .224 to .243 over that span.

Nido will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

The hot-hitting Nido seems to have temporarily settled in ahead of James McCann on the depth chart at catcher. He'll stick in the lineup for the third time in four games after going 11-for-22 with five extra-base hits (two home runs, three doubles) and a walk over his last six starts.

Nido went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-3 loss against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Nido homered off lefty starter Drew Smyly for the Mets' first hit of the game with one out in the third inning. The catcher has recorded an extra-base hit in four straight games and a home run in two straight. In addition, the 28-year-old has tallied six RBI over 21 at-bats in his last seven contests.

Nido is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The playing time at catcher has tilted in favor of James McCann lately, with Nido having now sat in three of the past four games. Even if Nido re-emerges as the preferred backstop for the Mets, he's unlikely to provide much of an imprint in fantasy leagues, given that he's hitting .222 with no home runs or stolen bases in 252 plate appearances on the campaign.
