The Mets outfielder arrived at Monday's game against the Washington Nationals with a bandage on his forehead after he suffered an injury at a hotel.
After waking up confused inside a hotel bathroom early Monday morning, outfielder Brandon Nimmo was forced to sit out of the New York Mets game at Nationals Park later that evening. Nimmo fainted in the room and hit his head as he fell to the floor. First-year Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Nimmo cut his forehead, but confirmed the outfielder was able to avoid a concussion. 'He went through all the tests this morning,' Mendoza said. 'Wanted to make sure we weren’t missing anything.
When he came to and got up from the floor, he was bleeding from the head and wasn't sure why. He called the Mets' trainers, who went to his room to assist him. Nimmo was then taken to a hospital, where he underwent testing. He arrived at the ballpark later Monday afternoon with a bandage on his forehead. He told reporters that the bandage was largely a precaution. 'He’s got a pretty big cut,' Mendoza said. Jeff McNeil replaced Nimmo in left field on Monday.
Nimmo is in his ninth season with the Mets. The 31-year-old is hitting .247 with 13 homers, a team-high 52 RBIs and an .824 OPS in 78 games this season.
