Brandon Nimmo News
New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo finally got things going offensively in Monday's 8-7 win over the Braves. Nimmo went 4-for-4 with two singles, a two-run home run, a three-run HR, and a walk. The 31-year-old had done almost nothing noteworthy from a fantasy perspective before this game and now owns a .212/.395/.424 slash line with eight RBI and one stolen base in 43 plate appearances. The good news from a points-league perspective is that he has an 18.6% walk rate, but hopefully, this game will kickstart his fantasy production in all league formats.
New 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.
After a season that fell short of expectations, the New York Mets are reportedly open to tinkering with the lineup, including potentially moving outfielder Brandon Nimmo down from the leadoff spot. The lefty had a bit of a power surge last season, smacking a career-high 24 home runs. If he can maintain that power he could provide some protection in the lineup for Pete Alonso, but it's uncertain who would fill the void at the top if they were to make the change, although they do have three intriguing options in Jeff McNeil, Francisco Lindor, and Starling Marte. The case could be made, however, that each of them has their own issues that render them not viable at the top of the order. Regardless, the former first-round draft pick should continue to be an on-base machine, with a career .380 OBP. Being at the top of the lineup would provide him more at-bats and would boost his run totals, but he'd presumably be in line for more RBI opportunities if moved down. He doesn't steal many bases, so the move might be a wash for fantasy purposes. As it stands, the 30-year-old is going off draft boards around pick 189, but RotoBaller ranks him higher, at 174 overall.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo quietly goes about his business as one of the most consistent offensive outfielders in the game. He's not going to lead the league in home runs and he isn't a middle-of-the-order run producer. However, he's an elite table-setter whose bat has been at least 30% more productive than the league average in five of the last six seasons, as per wRC+. Last season, he slugged a career-high 24 home runs and tied a career-high with 30 doubles to go along with six triples, second-most of his career. He has hit at least .274 in each of his last four seasons and his 191 runs scored over the last two campaigns ranks seventh among qualified outfielders. His walk rate has dipped to 10.7% in that time, but he has also walked at a 13% clip in his career. He's your perfect leadoff hitter who has struck out less than 20% of the time in two of his last four seasons, maxing out at 21.4% in that stretch. RotoBaller's 181 ranking is nearly 11 spots below his 191.83 ADP, making Nimmo an undervalued player given his elite year-to-year consistency.
