It’s not a secret that the New York Mets have had to remake their roster due to an unprecedented rash of injuries that forced the team to place, at one point a few weeks ago, 17 players on the injured list. That, however, has paved the way for sudden stars such as Billy McKinney to shine with the club.
One of those injured outfielders is Brandon Nimmo. The Mets’ usual leadoff hitter, he has had to see the games from afar with a hand/finger issue he suffered on a swing a few weeks ago, one that he hasn’t been able to shake off.
