Brandon Nimmo, the Mets left fielder, exited the game early against the Braves after experiencing discomfort in his side during a checked swing in the bottom of the third inning. The exact nature or severity of the injury, described as right intercostal tightness, remains unclear. Following the incident, Nimmo was sidelined, missing subsequent games due to ongoing soreness. His absence was noted during the Mets' 4-1 loss to the Braves. He hopes to test his ability to swing a bat and potentially return to the lineup by Monday.
