Brandon Nimmo Out With Stomach Bug
4 months agoNew York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (illness) has a stomach bug and is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Oakland Athletics at Citi Field. "He didn't get much sleep last night," manager Carlos Mendoza said. With Nimmo resting on Thursday, Jesse Winker will make the start in left field for the Mets and will bat cleanup against A's right-hander Mitch Spence. Jeff McNeil will also start in right field and bat seventh. Nimmo could probably use a break, as he's gone hitless in his last 17 plate appearances over four games with an RBI and four strikeouts. The 31-year-old veteran has hit just .226 (96-for-425) on the year but has still managed a strong .342 on-base percentage with 16 homers, 67 RBI and 11 stolen bases for his fantasy managers. Check back to see if he's feeling better for Friday's series opener against the Miami Marlins.
