WASHINGTON -- New York Mets left fielder Brandon Nimmo was removed in the second inning against Washington with a stiff neck on Wednesday night.
There was no obvious play where Nimmo was hurt. He grounded into a double play to end the first inning and did not have a chance in the field.
"After that first at-bat, he came up to me and said, 'It's hard for me to pull the trigger right now,'" Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. "He came in and it's something that he deals with every so often and usually gets better, but today wasn't the case.
