Brandon Nimmo Dealing With Quad Tightness
1 year agoNew York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (quadriceps) was scratched from Tuesday's starting lineup against the Kansas City Royals with quadriceps tightness, according to manager Buck Showalter. Nimmo was held out of the lineup for the first time since early June after his quadriceps muscle tightened up on him during batting practice before the game. It sounds like a day-to-day injury, but fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if the 30-year-old is held out of Wednesday's game as a precaution. Nimmo will be looking to turn the page in August after hitting just .161 (14-for-87) with four home runs, four doubles, eight RBI and 15 runs scored in 23 games in July. Even if he doesn't run much or have a ton of power, Nimmo remains valuable in most fantasy leagues for his on-base percentage (.353) and as a source of runs (61) as an everyday player when healthy.
