Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo was taken out of Friday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers due to a stiff neck, as confirmed by the team. After a lengthy rain delay, Jeff McNeil replaced Nimmo in left field; the cause of Nimmo’s stiffness is unclear, although he collided with the wall while making a catch in the second inning. In his only at-bat, Nimmo struck out and is currently hitting .212 with eight home runs and 27 RBIs over 49 games this season, with the situation still developing.
As Week 16 of the MLB season begins, five under-50% rostered hitters are highlighted for fantasy baseball: Romy González (BOS) is excelling against lefties, Chandler Simpson (TB) offers elite speed and a high average, Austin Hays (CIN) is a reliable outfielder, Mickey Moniak (COL) shows power with a strong batting average, and Victor Caratini (HOU) is a top catcher option with recent hot streaks.
