Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo had an injury scare in Tuesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.
In the fourth inning, Nimmo chased down a double down the left field line hit by Lourdes Gurriel Jr. The ball caromed off the corner and Nimmo seemingly tweaked his knee changing directions. Manager Carlos Mendoza and the club trainer went out to Nimmo, who stretched and massaged his knee and jogged a few feet. Nimmo convinced his manager to let him stay in, and the outfielder finished the entire game.
“I don’t know if the spike got stuck there with the turf, and Nimmo hyperextended the knee there.
