This afternoon, the Mets announced that they were recalling Corey Oswalt and optioning Brandon Nimmo to Triple-A Las Vegas. The move came as a surprise, given that Nimmo has hit .333/.600/.444 (216 wRC+) in the early going as a part-time player.
Nimmo is definitely buried on the depth chart, stuck behind two stars in Yoenis Cespedes and Michael Conforto, another solid player in Jay Bruce, and a veteran in Adrian Gonzalez that has performed well to date and should get a longer look to bounce back from a couple of rough years.
