On a day the Mets lost another outfielder to the injured list, Mickey Callaway said Brandon Nimmo is still “a ways away” from getting into any games.
Nimmo has not played since May 20 because of a bulging cervical disc in his neck. While he recently started baseball activities again after being shut down for 30 days, he is still in the beginning stages of his comeback.
“He’s doing more and more hitting off a tee, hitting in the cage, things like that, running around, taking fly balls,” Callaway said before the Mets topped the Pirates 3-0.
