Brandon Nimmo Fantasy Stats

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.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo will make a shift in the outfield on Tuesday. The Mets have decided to move Nimmo over to center field for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Nimmo has played center field in the past, but has only made a handful of appearances there this season. However, the Mets felt that it was time to move Starling Marte to left field and give center field to Nimmo. They believe this move will help them defensively with Marte having less ground to cover in left field. Lately, the Mets problem has been lack of offensive run support, but maybe this move will help them defensively.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo went 3-for-4 in the Mets' 19-9 win over the Marlins on Friday night, including a walk, a pair of home runs, four RBI, and four runs scored in the contest. The 32-year-old has been hot lately, collecting at least one hit in 12 straight games in which he logged at least two plate appearances, going 19-for-49 (.388) during that time with three doubles, three home runs, 14 RBI, and 13 runs scored. A rough 0-for-19 slump preceded this recent stretch of hitting, so he seemed due for a breakout. The left-handed slugger is now the author of a .262/.331/.451 slash line with a .338 wOBA and 120 wRC+ on the season and is just two home runs away from matching a career high of 24 set in 2023.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is starting in left field and will bat sixth for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies and left-hander Cristopher Sanchez at Citi Field. It will be the first time that Nimmo has started for the Mets since he exited last Wednesday's loss to the Washington Nationals with neck stiffness. However, the 32-year-old veteran did serve as a pinch-hitter in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Braves and will return to begin the week for the start of a crucial divisional series. Nimmo has hit a nice .308 with two RBI and a .708 OPS in 13 career at-bats against Sanchez, but it's probably a left-lefty matchup fantasy managers setting DFS lineups will want to avoid. Nimmo has hit .236 (33-for-140) on the year against lefties with only six of his 20 home runs and a 37:11 K:BB in 158 plate appearances.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) remains on the bench for Sunday's series finale against the division-rival Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. Jeff McNeil is making the start in left field for this one and will hit cleanup against Braves right-hander Bryce Elder. Nimmo is considered day-to-day, but he's missing a fourth straight game and could very well end up on the injured list with a neck injury that is not a new issue. The 32-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder hasn't been great on offense in the month of August, either, going 14-for-74 (.230) with just one home run, two doubles, eight RBI, 10 walks and 20 strikeouts in 17 games played. Check back to see if Nimmo is available for the start of a crucial divisional series on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies. McNeil ha hit just .083 with a .237 OPS in 12 career at-bats versus Elder.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Nimmo is set to miss his third game in a row due to neck stiffness. It's worth noting that Nimmo was able to get through pregame warmups before ultimately being held out of Saturday's lineup. That being said, Nimmo should be able to return to the starting lineup at some point in the next few days. In the meantime, Starling Marte will cover left field and bat sixth versus right-hander Cal Quantrill. Fantasy managers should check back ahead of Sunday's lineup to see if Nimmo is able to return.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is absent from the team's starting lineup for Friday's divisional clash against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. Tyrone Taylor will make another start in left field and will bat seventh versus Braves left-hander Joey Wentz. Nimmo is missing a second straight game with neck stiffness and could wind up on the injured list with an injury that has plagued him in the past. He's hitting only .230 (14-for-61) with a homer, two doubles and eight RBI in 17 games in the month of August, but the 32-year-old left-handed hitter has reached the 20-homer mark already for the third straight season while slashing .254/.325/.436 with a .762 OPS, 68 RBI, 62 runs scored and 12 stolen bases in 122 games. Taylor will see extended run in New York's outfield if Nimmo misses more time, but he's not as exciting for fantasy purposes.
