Nimmo extended the Mets' lead to 4-0 in the fifth inning with a homer off Michael Soroka, his 13th of the year and third in two games. The 32-year-old Nimmo is certainly heating up at the plate -- he's gone 8-for-21 (.381) over his last five contests. He's slashing .241/.305/.452 with 37 RBI, 33 runs scored and four stolen bases across 266 plate appearances this year.

• Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Second multi-homer game of 2025

  Rotowire Jun 11, 2025

  Nimmo went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs, an additional run scored and a walk in Wednesday's 5-0 win over Washington. Nimmo enjoyed his second multi-homer effort of the season, and he's now put together a modest four-game hitting streak. The veteran outfielder had a sluggish start to the campaign with a .673 OPS at the end of April, but he's heating up to the tune of a .310/.385/.569 slash line, four homers, three doubles, nine RBI and three stolen bases over his last 65 plate appearances. During this stretch, Nimmo has posted at least one hit in 13 of his 15 outings.

He is slashing .233/.298/.423 with three steals, 32 RBI and 27 runs this season, in addition to the 10 long balls.

• Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Steals second bag of season

  Rotowire Jun 5, 2025

  Nimmo went 1-for-3 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Dodgers. The veteran outfielder has thrived since returning to action from a stiff neck and being moved up to the No. 2 spot in the batting order. Nimmo has hit safely in eight straight starts dating back to May 26, batting .344 (11-for-32) over that stretch with a .417 OBP, one homer, one steal, four RBI and seven runs. Wednesday's pilfer was just his second of the season, but Nimmo did swipe a career-high 15 bags in 2024 and could increase his output in that category over the remainder of the campaign if he continues to flash the on-base skills that fueled his fantasy value earlier in his career.

• Mets' Brandon Nimmo: On base four times in loss

  Rotowire May 29, 2025

  Nimmo went 2-for-3 with two walks and two runs scored in Wednesday's loss to the White Sox. The veteran outfielder has been an on-base machine for most of his career, but Wednesday's performance was the first time since May 5 that Nimmo has drawn multiple free passes in the same game, and only the third time he's done it in 2025. He's gotten on base seven times in three games since returning from a brief absence due to a stiff neck earlier this week, but the improved OBP may be a result of moving up in the batting order rather than improved health. After spending the season hitting in the heart of the order between fourth and sixth, manager Carlos Mendoza has slotted Nimmo into the two-hole the last three contests.

• Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Two hits in return

  Rotowire May 27, 2025

  Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a double in Monday's win over the White Sox. The veteran outfielder had gone 0-for-16 over his prior six games before sitting out Saturday and Sunday with a stiff neck, but Nimmo pulled out of the skid in his return by cracking a first-inning double off Adrian Houser. Nimmo's been unable to build any momentum at the plate this season, slashing .219/.279/.404 through 50 contests with eight homers, 19 runs and 27 RBI, but as yet, his spot in the everyday lineup doesn't seem to be in jeopardy.

• Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Returning to action Monday

  Rotowire May 26, 2025

  Nimmo (neck) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox, starting in left field and batting second. Neck stiffness forced Nimmo from Friday's game and kept him out for the final two games of the weekend series against the Dodgers, but he has received the green light to return against right-hander Adrian Houser. While he's been mostly healthy since turning the page on a knee issue in spring training, Nimmo is slashing just .212/.274/.397 with eight homers and one steal across 197 plate appearances so far this season.

• Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Exits with stiff neck

  Rotowire May 23, 2025

  Nimmo was removed from Friday's game against the Dodgers due to neck stiffness, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Nimmo collided with the outfield wall while chasing down a flyball in the second inning of Friday's contest, and he was replaced in left field during the third inning following a 98-minute rain delay. If the 32-year-old needs to miss any additional starts, Jeff McNeil would be the most likely candidate to pick up time in the outfield with Luisangel Acuna starting at second base.

• Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Getting breather Wednesday

  Rotowire May 21, 2025

  Nimmo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox. Nimmo had started in every game for the Mets dating back to May 1, and the Red Sox are sending a tough southpaw (Garrett Crochet) to the hill for the series finale, so the veteran outfielder is presumably getting a planned day off Wednesday. Starling Marte will fill in for Nimmo in left field and will bat second.
