Brandon Nimmo Fantasy Stats

Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Detroit Tigers. This doesn't come as a surprise after Nimmo was forced to make an early exit from Friday's game due to a right hamstring injury. The Rangers are going to play it safe and hold out Nimmo for at least one game as a precaution. Ezequiel Duran will draw the start in right field and bat sixth versus right-hander Keider Montero on Saturday. Fantasy managers should consider Nimmo as day-to-day and should check back for another update on Sunday.

Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) left early on Friday in the series opener against the Detroit Tigers in the fourth inning after his second single of the contest after aggravating his hamstring injury, according to Jeff Wilson of All City DLLS. Nimmo also left Wednesday's series finale against the New York Yankees early due to hamstring tightness, which he said is a common occurrence and is manageable. Before hitting the showers early, Nimmo went 2-for-2 at the plate with two runs scored and a walk to raise his season average over .300 to .302. Ezequiel Duran shifted from second base to right field to replace Nimmo. Even though Nimmo doesn't appear to be very worried about his right hamstring, fantasy managers should at least expect him to sit out of Saturday's contest in Motown. And if Nimmo needs a trip to the injured list, Sam Haggerty could benefit the most from extra playing time in the outfield for the Rangers. Nimmo is a must-roster outfielder in all fantasy leagues as an on-base machine and multi-category contributor at the top of Texas' batting order.

Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) is starting in right field and batting leadoff on Friday for the series opener in Detroit against the Tigers and right-hander Jack Flaherty, according to MLB.com. Nimmo is back in action after he left Wednesday's game early against the New York Yankees with right-hamstring tightness, but he's feeling better after having an additional day off for travel on Thursday. Fantasy managers will want to get the 33-year-old left-handed hitter back in their starting lineups against a right-handed pitcher. Nimmo is certainly no stranger to missing time due to injuries, so fantasy managers have to be stoked to have him back so quickly. He's off to a strong start in his first year in Texas, coming into Friday's game slashing .290/.364/.460 with an .824 OPS, four home runs, 12 RBI, 14 runs scored, and a stolen base in 124 at-bats. He's never faced Flaherty in his MLB career.

Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) left Wednesday's 3-0 shutout win over the visiting New York Yankees early with right-hamstring tightness, according to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Nimmo went 1-for-2 at the plate with a walk before being pulled in the bottom of the fifth inning at Globe Life Field. The severity of Nimmo's hamstring injury is unknown, so fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. If Nimmo's injury isn't very serious, he could be ready to roll for the team's next game on Friday in Detroit against the Tigers after a scheduled day off on Thursday. If Nimmo is forced to the 10-day injured list and misses extended time, Sam Haggerty, who replaced Nimmo on Wednesday, could be in line to see the biggest playing-time boost in Texas' outfield. Nimmo, 33, is a multi-category contributor as a table-setter, making him valuable in all fantasy formats. If he's forced to the IL, he should remain stashed in an IL spot. Nimmo came into Wednesday's game against the Yanks with a .287 average (35-for-122) with four home runs, 12 RBI, 14 runs, and a stolen base in 30 games played.

After 10 seasons as a member of the New York Mets, veteran outfielder Brandon Nimmo was traded to the Texas Rangers this past offseason. The soon-to-be 33-year-old Nimmo posted rock-solid numbers across 652 plate appearances with New York in 2025, hitting .262/.324/.436 with 25 home runs, 92 RBI, 81 runs scored, and 13 stolen bases. Nimmo has now recorded back-to-back seasons with at least 23 homers, 90 RBI, 80 runs scored, and double-digit steals. He also logged a career-best 50.2% hard-hit rate in 2025. Age-related decline may start to become an issue for Nimmo as he reaches his mid-30s, and this could be the biggest red flag in his fantasy outlook. Missed time would also impact Nimmo's profile as a compiler, as he's logged 650 plate appearances in four straight seasons. Still, Nimmo should be locked into a prime spot in the Rangers' everyday lineup when healthy, and his underlying metrics still support his strong top-line numbers. He profiles as a high-floor starting fantasy outfielder heading into 2026.

Texas Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said that outfielder Brandon Nimmo will be ramped up slowly in spring training, like he always does, according to MLB.com's Kennedi Landry. Nimmo is unlikely to play in any Cactus League games until March. The Rangers acquired Nimmo in a trade from the New York Mets in the offseason, and he's expected to replace Josh Smith as the team's primary leadoff hitter in 2025. The 32-year-old lefty hitter batted in the heart of the Mets' order last year, so he will lose out on valuable RBI opportunities, but he should be an excellent source of runs with the move to the top of the order in Texas. Nimmo is also a great asset in fantasy leagues that count on-base percentage, considering his career .350 OBP. He had career highs in homers (25) and RBI (92) last year at the expense of some OBP. Despite battling nagging injuries over the years, Nimmo has played in 150-plus games for four straight years. He's a good bet to steal double-digit bases for the third year in a row if he's past his plantar-fasciitis issues. Nimmo is ranked as the No. 36 fantasy outfielder at RotoBaller.

Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo is expected to function as the leadoff hitter and play right field, according to manager Skip Schumaker. This was expected to happen, but it's nice to finally have confirmation on the situation. Nimmo was traded to the Rangers in the deal that sent Marcus Semien to the New York Mets earlier this offseason. The left-handed slugger is hopeful to give a boost to this lineup after a strong campaign in 2025. Nimmo slashed .262/.324/.436 with 25 home runs, 92 RBI, and 13 steals in 155 games with the Mets last season. The 32-year-old is a consistent hitter and durable, with 150-plus games played in each of the last four seasons. His fantasy value should remain strong, especially with him hitting in the leadoff spot.

Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo continues to have a high floor in category formats heading into the 2026 campaign. Nimmo was shipped to the Rangers in the early stages of the offseason in exchange for infielder Marcus Semien. Over the past two seasons, Nimmo has hit at least 23 home runs while swiping double-digit bases. In 2025, Nimmo would launch a career-best 25 long balls with 13 stolen bases, a slight drop from the 15 he stole the year prior. He posted a .262/.324/.436 line with 81 runs and a solid 92 RBI, the highest of his career. His rise in power could continue in 2026, as he posted a career-best 50.2% hard-hit rate and a 112.3 max exit velocity. While the 32-year-old's counting stats could take a slight hit in the move to Texas, he holds 20/10 (HR/SB) upside while proving a solid batting average. He is a prime target as a No. 3 OF in NFBC drafts, at his current 142.2 ADP.

According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the New York Mets are trading outfielder Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers in exchange for second baseman Marcus Semien. Nimmo has spent his entire 10-year MLB career in Queens. Last season, the 32-year-old posted a .262/.324/.436 slash line with 25 long balls and 13 stolen bases. This was his third-straight campaign blasting at least 20 home runs and just the second-straight season in which he swiped double-digit bags. Under the hood, Nimmo held a .321 xwOBA with a .255 xBA, which placed him in the 47th and 54th percentiles among qualified hitters. In Texas, fantasy managers should expect Nimmo to see an everyday role in the outfield as the Rangers opted not to tender right fielder Adolis Garcia, who is testing free agency. In New York, Nimmo's departure could open up a spot on the Opening Day roster for budding outfield prospect Carson Benge.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo has seen his name thrown about in trade rumors early on this offseason. However, Andy Martino of SNY reports that the Mets have not "asked (Nimmo) or his representatives if he'd be willing to waive" his full no-trade clause. While that does not mean the team won't approach Nimmo at a later date to gauge his interest, Martino's report highlights that any trade talks are still in the preliminary stages. Across 652 plate appearances in 2025, Nimmo slashed .262/.324/.436 with 25 home runs, 92 RBI, 81 runs scored, and 13 stolen bases. The 32-year-old Nimmo has spent his entire 10-year MLB career with the Mets. Still, with five years and over $100 million remaining on his current contract, New York may be looking to move off Nimmo before he hits his mid-30s.
