PHILADELPHIA — Brandon Nimmo waited near the vistitor’s clubhouse entrance at Citizens Bank Park so he could immediately greet his teammates as they arrived on the bus Sunday.
After three-plus months removed from the scene, Nimmo was finally an active player for the team again, following a neck injury and lengthy rehab throughout the summer. And he was eager to surprise his teammates, some of whom he says were unware he was rejoining the club.
“I wasn’t sure that this point would happen during the season, and I am so glad that it has,” Nimmo said before the Mets faced the Phillies.
