Overview

• Nimmo was removed before the bottom of the second inning in Washington, with Starling Marte entering in left field.
• There was no apparent injury play, as Nimmo grounded into a double play to end the first inning and had no fielding chances.
• The Mets announced the issue as a stiff neck, and no further medical details were released during the game.
• Nimmo entered the night batting .254 with 20 home runs and 68 RBIs, having played in 122 of the team's first 126 games.
• The outfielder has a history of neck problems, including a 2019 bulging cervical disk and a similar in-game exit in May, which heightens concern for a lineup already missing Francisco Alvarez.
