Player Outlook
Brandon Nimmo re-signed with the Mets on an eight-year, $162 million contract last offseason, and he delivered an impressive campaign in 2023 with 24 homers, 68 RBI, 89 runs and a .274/.363/.466 slash line in 152 games. Most of Nimmo's numbers were nearly identical to his 2022 production, though he clubbed eight more home runs as he set career highs in flyball rate (39.2 percent), barrel rate (9.5 percent) and hard-hit rate (47.7 percent). It's the second straight year he's played in over 150 games, as it appears the durability issues that plagued him earlier in his career are now behind him (though he did spend the final two days of the season on the IL with a shoulder sprain). He's not much of a threat on the bases with three steals in each of the past two seasons, but he otherwise provides fantasy managers with well-rounded production. Assuming the injury concerns are fully behind him, Nimmo should be a top-100 option again in 2024.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Goes deep again

    Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and a walk in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Cardinals. Nimmo got the Mets going with a three-run blast off Miles Mikolas in the fifth to knot the game up at 3-3. He's now homered in back-to-back games and has at least a hit in six straight with seven RBI over that span. For the year, the 31-year-old is hitting .229/.377/.412 with five homers, 25 RBI, 20 runs and a 25:32 BB:K in 162 plate appearances.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Belts decisive homer

    Nimmo went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored Monday in a 4-3 win against St. Louis. With the score tied 3-3 in the top of the seventh inning, Nimmo swatted a 415-foot solo shot to right field that provided the winning margin for New York. The veteran outfielder extended his hitting streak to five games, and four of his seven hits over that span have gone for extra bases. Nimmo has lifted his season average to .228 with the hot stretch following a cold start to the campaign.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: On base three times in win

    Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Thursday's extra-innings win over the Cubs. The 31-year-old is coming to life from the leadoff spot, reaching base multiple times in five of his last seven starts and batting .286 (8-for-28) over that stretch with a .394 OBP. Nimmo's .216/.365/.360 slash line on the season remains disappointing for fantasy purposes, but he's chipped in three homers, two steals, 15 runs and 20 RBI in 30 contests.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Getting routine day off

    Nimmo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs. According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, manager Carlos Mendoza said pregame that Nimmo is getting a routine day off after having started in all but one of the Mets' first 29 games of the season. Tyrone Taylor will replace Nimmo in left field and atop the batting order.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Swats leadoff homer

    Nimmo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Monday's 3-1 loss to the Cubs. Nimmo's first-inning homer was the lone run scored by the Mets on Monday, as the team was held to four hits in total. The long ball came off Jameson Taillon and was Nimmo's first since Apr. 8. During his last 10 games, Nimmo is batting .182 with eight runs scored.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: On base three times Sunday

    Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Royals. The 31-year-old outfielder shone once again as the Mets' leadoff hitter, capping his day with a bases-loaded walk that brought home the winning run in the eighth inning. Nimmo has reached base safely in all 11 games he's played so far in April, slashing .286/.455/.548 with seven runs, 12 RBI, and six of his 12 hits (three doubles, a triple and two homers) going for extra bases.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Big day in win

    Nimmo went 2-for-5 with a double, a triple, two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 16-4 victory over Atlanta. Nimmo extended New York's lead to 2-0 in the second inning with an RBI double before driving in another run with a triple in the eighth. Nimmo has gone 7-for-14 with four extra-base hits in three games against Atlanta after starting the season in a 3-for-29 slump. The 31-year-old outfielder should continue to serve as the Mets' regular leadoff batter after slashing .274/.363/.466 with a career-high 24 homers, 68 RBI and 89 runs scored last season.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Busts out of slump

    Nimmo went 4-for-4 with a three-run home run, a solo home run and an additional run batted in Monday against Atlanta. Nimmo entered Monday's contest 3-for-29 (.103) on the season but broke out of the cold snap and reached safely in all five plate appearances. He finally got on the board in the home run column, mashing homers off Charlie Morton and A.J. Minter en route to a five-RBI day and the sixth multi-HR game of his career.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Returns to lineup Saturday

    Nimmo (hamstring) is starting as the Mets' designated hitter Saturday versus Cincinnati. Minor hamstring tightness prevented Nimmo from playing Friday, but the issue appears to have subsided ahead of Saturday's contest. The 31-year-old outfielder has gone just 1-for-21 through six games to begin the year, though he has still managed to draw six walks.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Minor hamstring injury

    Nimmo is sitting out Friday's game in Cincinnati because of some minor hamstring tightness, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Nimmo's hamstring "checked out pretty good" pregame and the team doesn't believe it to be a serious issue. Given how hamstring problems can sometimes linger though, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Nimmo sit out additional games. He's also just 1-for-21 to start the season, so a reset might not be the worst thing. Tyrone Taylor is in left field Friday.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Sits amid slump

    Nimmo is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Cincinnati, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Nimmo started the Mets' first six games of the season but will receive a day to reset after going 1-for-21 with six walks during that stretch. Tyrone Taylor will take over in left field while Francisco Lindor moves up to the leadoff spot.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Draws five walks in twin bill

    Nimmo went 0-for-5 with five walks and a stolen base in Thursday's doubleheader split with the Tigers. Nimmo didn't get a hit in either contest, but he did his job as New York's leadoff man by drawing five free passes. Given that he's gone just 1-for-21 to start the campaign, it was a positive development for Nimmo's fantasy managers to see him spend some time on the basepaths, though outside of his theft he didn't do anything to provide fantasy value in leagues that don't use OBP as a category. Odds are that Nimmo's bat will eventually come around, as he hasn't batted lower than .274 in a season since 2019.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Could be moved down in lineup

    Nimmo could be moved down in the Mets' batting order this season, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. President of baseball operations David Stearns and manager Carlos Mendoza discussed the possibility with Nimmo early in the offseason and co-hitting coaches Jeremy Barnes and Eric Chavez have continued the dialogue in spring training. Nimmo's on-base skills make him a natural fit as a leadoff hitter, but he also showed last season with a career-high 24 home runs that he could have potential as a middle-of-the-order presence. Healey mentions Francisco Lindor, Starling Marte and Jeff McNeil as options to move up to the top of the batting order if Nimmo slides down.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Shifting to left field

    Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Monday that Nimmo will move to left field this season while Harrison Bader takes over in center field, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports. That's been the assumption, but this is the first time Mendoza has officially addressed it. It makes for a strong defensive outfield for the Mets, giving them three outfielders with extensive center field experience between Nimmo, Bader and Starling Marte. Of course, given Bader's health history, there's a good chance Nimmo will still wind up spending a good amount of time in center.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Lands on injured list

    Nimmo landed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a sprained right shoulder. Nimmo has dealt with more than his fair share of injury problems in the past, so it's discouraging to see him end the year injured after a pair of seasons in which he crossed the 150-game threshold for the first time. This particular injury may not be too worrisome, however, as source reports that Nimmo avoided structural damage. If the Mets had postseason baseball to look forward to, he would address the problem with an injection, but their 72-86 record means he'll instead hit the couch a few days early and let the problem heal with rest. Michael Perez was recalled to take Nimmo's place on the roster.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Likely done for season

    Nimmo has an AC joint injury in his right shoulder and will undergo an MRI on Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Nimmo was held out of the lineup Sunday with an undisclosed injury, so this may be a related issue. The seriousness of the injury is not yet known, but given that the Mets have little to play for across the final weekend of the regular season, it's unlikely that Nimmo will return to the lineup.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Batting leadoff in return

    Nimmo (undisclosed) is back in the lineup Tuesday against the Marlins. Nimmo will start in center field and bat leadoff versus the Marlins and left-hander Braxton Garrett after sitting out Sunday's series finale at Philadelphia due to general soreness. Nimmo, 30, boasts a .333/.394/.633 slash line in 99 plate appearances since the beginning of September.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Banged up, sitting Sunday

    Nimmo is dealing with an unspecified injury and is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports. The center fielder apparently suffered the injury Saturday on a slide into home plate, and manager Buck Showalter indicated Nimmo would have been replaced by a pinch runner had he reached during his ninth-inning plate appearance. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue, and Nimmo will have the Mets' scheduled day off Monday to rest before Tuesday's series opener versus the Marlins.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Homers among three hits

    Nimmo went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, two additional runs and a walk against Miami in an 8-3 win Wednesday. Nimmo has been scorching in September, batting .346 through 18 contests. He's gone deep five times during the month so far, though he hadn't homered in his previous 10 games before Wednesday. Nimmo has already established a career high with 24 homers on the campaign, and he needs one more RBI to tie the career-best mark of 64 he recorded last season.

  • Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Three more hits Tuesday

    Nimmo went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins. Among Nimmo's three hits was a game-tying, two-run double with two outs in the ninth inning. The tenacious 30-year-old has posted multi-hit efforts in four of the last eight games, hitting .361 (12-for-36) with four doubles, one triple, four runs and four RBI in that span.
