Brandon Nimmo Fantasy Stats

Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo (shoulder) is starting in right field and batting cleanup for the Rangers in Saturday's contest at home against the visiting Detroit Tigers and right-hander Jack Flaherty, per MLB.com. Nimmo suffered an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder last Sunday when he crashed into the outfield wall to make the final out of the game, which caused him to miss the last four games. The 33-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder will return on the Fourth of July and give the injury-wrecked Rangers' lineup a boost to finish out the weekend. In his first year in Texas, Nimmo has underwhelmed, slashing .262/.333/.420 with a .753 OPS, eight home runs, 29 RBI, 35 runs scored, and three stolen bases in his 317 at-bats. He closed out the month of June on a heater, though, going 15-for-48 (.313) with five doubles, a homer, a triple, four RBI, seven runs scored, and a stolen base in 12 games, and fantasy managers are hoping he can pick up where he left off after missing the last four games. Nimmo has only faced Flaherty twice in his career, but he's picked up two hits against him.

Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo (shoulder) will miss a fourth straight game due to a sprained ACL joint in his left shoulder on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers, per MLB.com. Antonio Osuna will make another start in left field for the Rangers and will hit eighth against Tigers left-hander Framber Valdez. Osuna has seen everyday playing time of late with both Nimmo and Wyatt Langford (hamstring) banged up. The Rangers have expressed optimism that Nimmo can avoid a trip to the injured list, unlike Langford, but if he cannot return during the Fourth of July weekend, he could be sidelined for the rest of the first half of the season. The 33-year-old former first-rounder in 2011 has been a bit of a disappointment in 2026 in his first year with the Rangers, slashing .262/.333/.420 with a .753 OPS, eight homers, 29 RBI, 35 runs, and three steals in 317 at-bats. Nimmo closed out June on a roll, though, going 12-for-40 (.300) with a homer, four doubles, a triple, four RBI, seven runs, and a steal in his last 10 games. Check back on Friday to see if Nimmo is ready to return.

Although Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo (shoulder) is out of the lineup on Wednesday for a third straight game against the Cleveland Guardians with a left AC joint sprain in his shoulder, MLB.com's Henry Palattella reports that he's likely to avoid a trip to the injured list. That's great news for the Rangers, who placed outfielder Wyatt Langford (hamstring) on the IL over the weekend and shortstop Corey Seager (back) on the IL on Wednesday. Nimmo ended Sunday's win over the Toronto Blue Jays with a fantastic catch, but he crashed against the outfield wall and injured his shoulder, causing him to miss the series in Cleveland. Manager Skip Schumaker said on Tuesday that Nimmo was day-to-day and could avoid a stint on the IL. "It was a much better day today, which was good," Schumaker said. "From yesterday to today, it was much better." Nimmo has hit .262/.333/.420 with eight home runs and 29 RBI in 82 games in his first year in Texas, but he had a .759 OPS in 25 games in June, which was over 100 points higher than his .657 OPS in May. Alejandro Osuna is making another start in left field on Wednesday, with utility man Ezequiel Duran in right field.

Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo (shoulder) will miss another game on Tuesday against the hosting Cleveland Guardians, according to MLB.com. Ezequiel Duran will make another start in right field for Texas and will bat fifth against Guardians right-hander Tanner Bibee. Nimmo suffered an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder after he crashed into the outfield wall on Sunday, and he'll be missing a second straight game as a result. The Rangers haven't ruled out a trip to the injured list for Nimmo, who is undergoing more tests on Tuesday. With Wyatt Langford (hamstring) going back on the IL over the weekend, both Duran and Alejandro Osuna could be regulars in the Rangers' outfield to close out the first half of the season. In his first year in Texas, Nimmo has slashed .262/.333/.420 with a .753 OPS, eight home runs, 29 RBI, 35 runs scored, and three stolen bases across 82 games, numbers that have been fairly disappointing in his 11th season in the big leagues. Check back on Wednesday to see if Nimmo can return to the diamond.

Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo (shoulder) has been diagnosed with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder, according to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. The Rangers haven't made a decision on whether he'll go on the injured list, and he will undergo further testing on Tuesday. With the All-Star break coming in the middle of July, don't be surprised if the Rangers place Nimmo on the 10-day IL this week. The 33-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder injured his shoulder in Sunday's series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays when he crashed into the outfield wall to make a game-ending catch, and he was kept out of the starting lineup in Monday's series opener against the Cleveland Guardians as a result. The Rangers just put Wyatt Langford (hamstring) on the IL over the weekend, so they'll be pretty thin in the outfield if Nimmo joins him on the IL this week. Alejandro Osuna should play regularly, with utility man Ezequiel Duran an option to move to the outfield to close out the first half of the season if Nimmo goes on the shelf. In his first year in Texas, Nimmo has slashed .262/.333/.420 with a .753 OPS, eight home runs, 29 RBI, 35 runs, and three steals in 317 at-bats.

Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo (shoulder) is out of the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the Cleveland Guardians and will undergo an MRI exam on his shoulder, according to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. Nimmo said he was "OK," but acknowledged he's dealing with soreness. With Wyatt Langford (hamstring) going back on the injured list over the weekend, the Rangers can ill-afford for Nimmo to join him on the shelf as the end of the first half of the season nears. Alejandro Osuna is starting in left field on Monday, with Ezequiel Duran starting in right field and batting third against Guardians left-hander Parker Messick. Nimmo played all nine innings in Sunday's series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays, but he banged up his shoulder while crashing into the outfield wall. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day and check back on Tuesday to see if he's active for Game 2 of the series in Cleveland. In his first year with the Rangers, Nimmo has hit .262/.333/.420 with a .754 OPS, eight home runs, 29 RBI, 35 runs scored, and three stolen bases in 82 games and 354 plate appearances.

Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) is starting in right field and batting third for Friday's series opener in Anaheim against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels and right-hander Grayson Rodriguez, according to MLB.com. Nimmo is ready to play following Thursday off day after he was pulled early yet again from Wednesday's contest in Denver against the Colorado Rockies. The 33-year-old veteran has been bothered by a nagging hamstring injury a few times this year, but it hasn't forced him to the injured list, surprisingly. The former first-rounder of the New York Mets in 2011 will return to a .273/.353/.421 slash line with a .773 OPS, five home runs, 16 RBI, 21 runs scored, and a stolen base in 47 games in his first year in Texas. When healthy, Nimmo is a multi-category contributor who bats near the top of the Rangers' batting order. He should be returned to starting fantasy lineups against Rodriguez, whom he has never faced in his career.

Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) exited Wednesday's series finale in Denver early against the Colorado Rockies with right-hamstring tightness, according to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. After a single in the fifth inning, manager Skip Schumaker and a trainer went to check on Nimmo before pulling him from the game. Before leaving, Nimmo went 1-for-3 in the contest with a single. He was replaced in right field by Alejandro Osuna. The 33-year-old veteran has missed a few games with the same balky hamstring since the beginning of April, so we wouldn't be surprised if the Rangers place him on the injured list so that he can fully recover. Going into Wednesday's game, the former first-rounder was hitting .272/.353/.422 with a .775 OPS, five home runs, 16 RBI, 21 runs, and a stolen base in 180 at-bats in his first year with the Rangers. Nimmo is a multi-category contributor in fantasy and is known as an on-base machine, making him relevant in all fantasy leagues. If he were to miss extended time, Osuna could see regular playing time in right field against righties.

Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo (ankle) is starting in right field and will bat in the two-hole for Wednesday's contest against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Ryne Nelson, per MLB.com. Nimmo sprained his left ankle and was pulled from Tuesday's win over Arizona early, but he avoided any structural damage and was cleared to return a day later after testing his ankle while running the bases before the game. The 33-year-old veteran has been solid to begin his tenure in Texas, as he enters Wednesday's action with a .288/.367/.436 slash line, an .803 OPS, four home runs, 12 RBI, 18 runs scored, and a stolen base in his 156 at-bats with the Rangers. He went 3-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Wednesday's contest before leaving early, and he has hit .281 (9-for-32) without a home run in nine games in May. Fantasy managers will want to get him back into their lineups in traditional leagues. In seven career at-bats against Nelson, he's hitting .571 with a 1.700 OPS, so Nimmo could be a great DFS option as well.

Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo (ankle) was forced to exit early from his team's matchup on Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks after rolling his ankle in a collision at first base, per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. Nimmo originally tried to stay in the game but was eventually pulled. The 33-year-old is off to a strong start to his first season with Texas, hitting .288/.367/.436 with four home runs, 12 RBI, 18 runs scored, and one stolen base across 177 plate appearances. Nimmo has been known to play through injury in the past, as he's logged at least 650 plate appearances in each of the last four seasons. Still, he could now be facing a trip to the injured list. Rangers outfielder Sam Haggerty replaced Nimmo on Tuesday and would likely be in line for more playing time if Nimmo ends up missing games. UPDATE: Nimmo has been diagnosed with a left-ankle sprain. He's considered day-to-day after X-rays on his ankle came back negative.
