Brandon Nimmo Sitting Against Reds Due To Hamstring Tightness
8 months agoNew York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) is not in the team's starting lineup on Friday versus the Cincinnati Reds due to minor hamstring tightness. Tyrone Taylor is starting in left field and is batting sixth, while shortstop Francisco Lindor moves up to the leadoff spot for the Mets against Reds right-hander Hunter Greene. Lindor and Taylor both have home runs in their career against Greene, albeit in just 17 combined at-bats. The 31-year-old Nimmo could use the day off in the series opener against Cincy, as he's started the year off with just one hit, a stolen base, six walks and six strikeouts in his first 28 plate appearances. The Mets don't consider Nimmo's injury to be serious, as he's listed as day-to-day, so hopefully he'll return on Saturday.
