Brandon Nimmo showcased resilience after a bout with illness, rebounding by reaching base five times in a game against the Cardinals, including three hits and a homer. His OPS rose significantly from a slump of .575 to .720. Nimmo emphasized the importance of not trying to duplicate his past highs and instead focusing on small, consistent improvements. Meanwhile, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza navigated the challenges of managing player appearances, particularly concerning Edwin Díaz, who had not pitched in over a week due to strategic usage concerns.
Just start small again. Don't try to recreate a nine-RBI day. Just try to get some base hits and work from there.
I'm trying to get back to healthy and being able to help out and play every day again and get that rhythm.
Those are the tricky ones. You try to stay away from him when you're chasing, especially this early.
Nimmo battled flu-like symptoms during the Mets' three-game series against Arizona and went 0-for-5 over two games.
