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.
