Shortly before the start of Game 1 of today’s doubleheader against the Giants, the Mets activated Brandon Nimmo from the COVID-19 IL. Mark Canha, who also was placed on the COVID-19 IL at the same time as Nimmo, has not yet been activated. Mets bench coach Glenn Sherlock also remains sidelined and is not close to returning, according to Buck Showalter.
It’s been just four days since Nimmo, Canha, and Sherlock tested positive following contact tracing. Neither Nimmo nor Canha have revealed their vaccination status publicly, but Canha’s wife tweeted “we are vaccinated and boosted” following the news.
