MRI Clean on Brandon Nimmo’s Finger

The New York Mets announced on Friday afternoon that the MRI on Brandon Nimmo‘s left index finger came back clean. He is sore and day-to-day.

Nimmo left the game in the third inning on Thursday after getting hit on the left hand against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Mets announced during that game that the x-rays on the left index finger of Nimmo were negative.

Nimmo swung at the pitch and technically grounded out to third base though the bat never made contact with the baseball. The pitch made direct contact with Nimmo’s left hand. He stayed down on the ground in pain of a few minutes before the trainer came out.

The 25-year-old Nimmo is slashing .265/.387/.503 with 21 doubles, eight triples, 15 homers and 39 RBI in 413 plate appearances this season for the Mets.
