Brandon Nimmo exits game with right shoulder discomfort in Mets injury worry
NY Post
Brandon Nimmo prioritizes smart decisions over high risk, but from his perspective, there wasn’t a choice for him in Sunday’s seventh inning.
He had to catch the ball.
Nimmo’s diving grab in left field on Nick Fortes’ bloop kept the go-ahead run from scoring, but the bill arrived in the bottom of the inning, when Nimmo’s right shoulder ached as he swung the bat.
Nimmo managed to finish the at-bat, but was removed for the start of the eighth.
On Monday, he will receive an MRI exam on the shoulder that will likely give the Mets an idea how long Nimmo will be sidelined.
“I didn’t feel it right away [on the catch],” Nimmo said after the Mets’ 3-2 loss to the Marlins at Citi Field. “But then we went in and did the seventh inning stretch … I kind of felt this general achiness in my shoulder and said, ‘OK, I will save what swings I have left for the game.’ I took that first swing and felt a little something in my backswing.”

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.
