4 years agoNew York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (finger), working his way back from a left index finger contusion, is only taking dry swings with a bat thus far. Nimmo is not yet hitting an actual baseball. Nimmo has been on the 10-day injured list since May 4. He was initially eligible to come off the IL on May 14, but the return was delayed when he felt pain during a rehab assignment in early May with Triple-A affiliate Syracuse. Given this news which reveals his return is inching along very slowly, it is likely Nimmo won't be ready to return to the Mets until late June, at the earliest. Once he eventually returns, Nimmo should continue to perform as a top-tier place setter with a solid batting average and an elite on-base percentage. Fantasy managers with IL spots should remain patient and continue to roster Nimmo. In the meantime, Kevin Pillar will continue to get most of the playing time in centerfield for the Mets during Nimmo's absence.--Nick Ritrivi - RotoBaller
