Just a few days ago, Mets manager Buck Showalter told reporters that he didn’t feel comfortable playing Brandon Nimmo in both games of the doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves.
The star outfielder has been playing through a quad injury since the beginning of August and the team has moved him from his usual centerfield home over to left field in an attempt to help him heal.
So far, Nimmo says the move has been paying off.
“It’s really helped out my leg because it’s less exposure to high speed in left field," he said.
