2024 Fantasy Outlook
Nimmo re-signed with the Mets on an eight-year, $162 million contract last offseason, and he delivered an impressive campaign in 2023 with 24 homers, 68 RBI, 89 runs and a .274/.363/.466 slash line in 152 games. Most of Nimmo's numbers were nearly identical to his 2022 production, though he clubbed eight more home runs as he set career highs in flyball rate (39.2 percent), barrel rate (9.5 percent) and hard-hit rate (47.7 percent). It's the second straight year he's played in over 150 games, as it appears the durability issues that plagued him earlier in his career are now behind him (though he did spend the final two days of the season on the IL with a shoulder sprain). He's not much of a threat on the bases with three steals in each of the past two seasons, but he otherwise provides fantasy managers with well-rounded production. Assuming the injury concerns are fully behind him, Nimmo should be a top-100 option again in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Dealing with plantar fasciitis
Nimmo revealed Sunday that he's dealt with plantar fasciitis in his left foot since May and aggravated the injury recently in Game 3 of the NLDS, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Nimmo noted that the foot doesn't really bother him while hitting or throwing in the outfield, but running causes discomfort. "I think when I really need it, I'm probably not 100 percent, but I can get going pretty good," he said. "But it's uncomfortable." Nimmo plans to continue playing through the injury during the NLCS and the World Series, should the Mets advance. He's slashing .241/.353/.345 with one home run in eight contests this postseason.

Nimmo was finally able to stay healthy for a full season in 2022, as he played in a career-high 151 games for his final year before free agency, and he ultimately re-signed with the Mets on an eight-year, $162 million deal. He had his walk rate drop to 10.9 percent, but he also cut his strikeout rate to 17.2 percent, with both figures representing career lows. The center fielder was a reliable leadoff man for the Mets and had a .274/.367/.433 slash line with 16 home runs, 64 RBI and 102 runs. Nimmo nearly doubled his barrel rate to 7.0 percent and also saw a five-point increase in his groundball rate to 50.5 percent. He's a solid defender in center field and is an ideal option atop the order given his average and on-base skills, though his reliance on groundballs lowers his ceiling. It's an encouraging sign Nimmo was able to put in a full season with no notable injuries, but fantasy managers should keep in mind it's only the second time he's topped 100 games in his career, so continued good health shouldn't yet be an expectation as he enters his age-30 season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Extended rest possible
Giving Nimmo extended rest at some point for his quad injury is a possibility, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Nimmo missed a couple games over the weekend and was used in left field for two others as he battles a nagging right quad issue. He also sat out an entire series earlier this month with the same injury. It's something the Mets think Nimmo is capable of playing through, but since they're no longer in playoff contention they might eventually decide to shut the outfielder down.
