Brandon Nimmo Fantasy Stats

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.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) will take a seat for Thursday's divisional clash against the Washington Nationals in D.C. Tyrone Taylor will get the nod in left field and will hit seventh in the batting order against Nationals left-hander MacKenzie Gore. Nimmo will be left out of the starting lineup after leaving Tuesday's contest early with neck stiffness. It's something to keep an eye on for the 32-year-old, as neck issues have cropped up for him in the past. While Nimmo is day-to-day for now, this has a higher probability of turning into a trip to the injured list. Check back to see if he's available to play in Friday's series opener against the division-rival Atlanta Braves. For what it's worth, the Mets are hopeful Nimmo will be able to play this weekend. Taylor hasn't had much success against Gore, hitting .182 against him in 11 at-bats, although he does have a solo homer.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is day-to-day after leaving the team's 5-4 loss to the Washington Nationals on Wednesday with neck stiffness, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. The Mets pulled Nimmo and put Starling Marte in left field in the bottom of the third inning. Nimmo has battled occasional discomfort in his neck since running into the outfield wall in a game in 2019, but he and the Mets have done a good job managing it over the years. Nimmo entered 2025 having appeared in 150-plus games in each of the previous three seasons and has been durable again this year. Over 122 games and 511 plate appearances, the 32-year-old has slashed .254/.325/.436 with 20 homers, 68 RBI, 62 runs, and 12 stolen bases. The Mets expect Nimmo to be fine within 24 to 48 hours, which means he could be out of the lineup for their series finale against the Nationals on Thursday afternoon.
