Overview
- Nimmo played the Mets for the first time since being traded and said on Tuesday that he is not dwelling on the move and is focused on helping the Rangers reach the postseason.
- New York has been eliminated from playoff contention, but has shown better play since the trade-deadline roster changes and is integrating young players into regular roles.
- Pete Alonso drew sustained cheers in a recent three-game return to Citi Field and hit his 300th career home run in a ninth-inning game-tying swing that underscored fan attachment to departed franchise figures.
- The Mets placed right-hander Christian Scott on the 15-day injured list with knee inflammation and activated reliever Devin Williams, a short-term roster shuffle as the season winds down.
- Nimmo was included in the offseason deal that brought Marcus Semien to New York and still has four years left on his eight-year, $162 million contract, a move that reflects president David Stearns' decision to reset the roster and push toward a youth-driven rebuild.
