Fantasy Impact

Nimmo, sidelined by knee soreness since Feb. 28, returns to left field Monday following DH outings, signaling no setbacks. The Mets may ease his early-season outfield time, but his defensive return points to an Opening Day spot. Fantasy managers can roster him confidently, expecting his bat to shine with managed workloads.

Brandon Nimmo (knee) said Friday he expects to DH for the Mets on Opening Day, though outfield duty remains uncertain, per team updates, after Thursday’s return.

Fantasy Impact

Nimmo, at 80 percent post-plantar fasciitis and knee soreness, targets Opening Day as the Mets’ DH. Fantasy managers should track his final prep, as he’s a lineup lock if healthy, even limited.

Brandon Nimmo (knee) will start at designated hitter and bat second in Thursday’s Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox, Manny Gomez of NJ.com reports.

Fantasy Impact

Nimmo has been eased into action this spring, making just his second start after dealing with lingering plantar fasciitis in his left foot and recent right knee soreness. While his presence in the lineup is a positive sign, he’ll need to prove he can handle outfield reps without issue before Opening Day. If his knee holds up, Nimmo should be locked into his usual leadoff role for the Mets to start the season.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Brandon Nimmo (knee) resumed baseball activities Monday, per team reports.

Fantasy Impact

Nimmo, slowed by a right knee gel shot Friday and early camp plantar fasciitis in his left foot, missed a Saturday/Sunday game target—still limited to one spring outing, Mendoza’s “pretty soon” hope keeps him on pace for Opening Day. Fantasy managers can stick with his OF reliability; he’s rounding into form.

Brandon Nimmo (knee) received a gel injection Friday and will pause baseball activities for one to two days, per team reports.

Fantasy Impact

Nimmo’s been out since his lone spring game Feb. 28 with knee inflammation—hitting 85% running capacity Friday instead of 100%, per Carlos Mendoza, who’s still aiming for Opening Day with time for at-bats, barring further snags. Fantasy managers can keep his OF slot; he’s on track but not full speed yet.
