4 years agoNew York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (finger) has been on the 10-day injured list with a left index finger contusion 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 earlier this month with Triple-A affiliate Syracuse. It was revealed on Saturday that Nimmo's finger bruise is actually a nerve issue that has hampered his return. Nimmo is waiting for the pain to subside before once again swinging a bat. The Mets are being cautious with Nimmo and, as a result, it is likely he won't be ready to return to the Mets until early June. 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. Unfortunately, it appears this will take longer than originally anticipated. Fantasy managers with IL spots should remain patient and continue to roster Nimmo.--Nick Ritrivi - RotoBaller
