Brandon Nimmo (neck) scratched for Mets Tuesday, Juan Lagares draws start
New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo has been scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Washington Nationals due to a stiff neck.
What It Means:
Nimmo has had neck problems in the past, so it's something to keep an eye on. Juan Lagares is now starting in center field and batting eighth versus Nationals right-hander Erick Fedde. Jeff McNeil is in the leadoff spot and Amed Rosario is hitting second.
Nimmo is batting .200/.344/.323 with 3 homers, 7 doubles, 14 RBI, and 20 runs scored in 161 plate appearances this season.
