Brandon Nimmo Returns to Mets' Lineup Ahead of Opening Day

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo has returned to baseball activities after a setback due to knee soreness and a gel injection. Although he missed several days, manager Carlos Mendoza expressed optimism about Nimmo's readiness for Opening Day on March 27. Nimmo has struggled with plantar fasciitis in his left foot and has played only one game this spring, but he is confident that issue is resolved. The Mets are monitoring his recovery closely as Nimmo adjusts from center field to left field this season. Despite his limited spring play, Nimmo's past performance shows potential, with a solid OPS before the All-Star break last year. The team's focus now is ensuring that his knee does not hinder his defensive capabilities.
