Brandon Nimmo has been left out of Saturday’s lineup against the Phillies both for rest and because he’s been dealing with a sore right wrist, Mets manager Buck Showalter said before the game.

Nimmo was sent for imaging to make sure nothing was structurally wrong. He’s also expected to get a cortisone shot to help alleviate the pain.

Showalter didn’t seem overly concerned with Nimmo’s injury and said that the outfielder is viewed as day-to-day but he will use him if he needs him.
