Nimmo is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus Atlanta.
Southpaw Chris Sale will be on the hill for Atlanta, so Nimmo's night will begin on the bench. Jeff McNeil is getting the start in left field and Jose Iglesias will move up to the No. 2 slot in the Mets' batting order.
Nimmo went 0-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Marlins.
He also struck out three times, continuing a trend that has seen Nimmo whiff at a 32.4 percent rate in July. Those contact issues have led to a .226/.324/.419 slash line on the month, but the veteran outfielder has bolstered his fantasy value by stealing four bags in 16 games to go along with three homers, six runs and 13 RBI. Nimmo's nine steals on the season have already tied his career high.

Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Stays hot Thursday
Rotowire
Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a double, a run scored and three RBI in Thursday's win over the Nationals.
The 31-year-old broke open a scoreless tie in the bottom of the fifth inning, ripping a bases-loaded double to the wall in left-center field before coming home on a J.D. Martinez knock. Nimmo has a six-game hitting streak going, batting .360 (9-for-25) during that stretch with two doubles, three homers, five runs and 10 RBI. His 62 RBI on the season leave him just seven away from establishing a new career high.
Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-2 victory versus the Nationals on Wednesday.
Nimmo got New York off to a strong start with a 440-foot solo blast in the first inning. It was his third straight game with a long ball and his fourth straight contest with at least one RBI. Nimmo logged career-best marks with 24 homers and 68 RBI last season, and he is on pace to surpass both totals in 2024 with 16 home runs and 59 RBI through 380 plate appearances.
Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Monday's 8-2 loss to the Pirates.
The New York outfielder accounted for the only Mets runs of the game, hitting a 428-foot, two-run homer off Mitch Keller in the sixth inning. The nine-year veteran has tapped into his power recently, as he entered slugging .671 with 12 extra base hits -- six homers and doubles apiece -- in 90 plate appearances over his previous 20 games. After missing a game July 1 due to a forehead laceration, Nimmo has batted .320 (8-for-25) with three extra-base hits, five RBI and three runs scored in seven games this month.
