You can add Brandon Nimmo to the growing list of ailing Mets, though his absence Wednesday was self-inflicted.
The outfielder was not at Wednesday’s spring training session in St. Lucie, home with a stomach bug after eating undercooked chicken he had prepared, manager Mickey Callaway told media.
While it’s not a knee problem or a long-term issue, it will give the Mets a chance to teach the 25-year-old how to cook. It’s the latest strange injury to a team filled with them, a season after Noah Syndergaard was sidelined with foot and mouth disease.
