NEW YORK -- Outfielder Brandon Nimmo was activated from the injured list by the Mets before Friday's Subway Series opener with the Yankees after missing two months because of a detached hand ligament.
Nimmo was set to bat leadoff and play center field at Yankee Stadium.
He hit .172 (5-for-29) with a double and zero RBIs during a nine-game injury rehabilitation assignment with Triple-A Syracuse.
New York also reinstated Marcus Stroman from the bereavement list. He is scheduled to start Saturday, when the Yankees start ace Gerrit Cole.
