The Mets placed Tomas Nido on the 7-day injured list with a concussion before Saturday’s game against the Braves. The concussion was a result of the catcher getting drilled in the back of the head on a Josh Donaldson backswing during the sixth inning of Friday night’s loss to Atlanta.
Rene Rivera was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to take Nido’s spot on the roster.
Nido was evaluated by team doctors on Saturday. He initially stayed in Friday’s game after being checked out by trainers and finished the sixth inning behind the plate with Jacob deGrom on the mound, but was replaced by Wilson Ramos in the next inning.
