Restarts rehab assignment Nimmo (finger) will start in center field and bat leadoff in a rehab game Sunday for Triple-A Syracuse, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.

Impact Nimmo will be making his first appearance for Syracuse -- and playing in his first game at any level -- since May 13, after his initial rehab assignment with the Triple-A affiliate was paused when he felt some renewed pain in the sprained finger on his left hand. Five weeks later, Nimmo is feeling healthy again, and he should be ready to return from the 10-day injured list at some point later this week once he ramps up a bit at Triple-A. Along with Nimmo, Michael Conforto (hamstring) is in the midst of a rehab assignment at Syracuse, so the Mets should soon be back to full strength in the outfield.

Closing in on rehab assignment Manager Luis Rojas said Nimmo (finger) could begin a rehab assignment next week, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact The 28-year-old progressed to taking batting practice this week and is nearing the final stages of his rehab work. Nimmo hasn't seen game action since early May and figures to require a handful of games in the minors to get back up to game speed. Depending when he begins the rehab stint, the outfielder could be activated by the end of June or early July.

Advances to batting practice Nimmo (finger) took batting practice on the field Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Impact The 28-year-old resumed light swinging last week and has now progressed to full swings in batting practice as he returns from a small ligament tear near the base of his left index finger. According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, Nimmo could begin a rehab assignment in the near future if he can avoid any setbacks in his rehab work.

Nearing rehab assignment Nimmo (finger) hopes to head out on a rehab assignment next week, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Upon receiving a second opinion, Nimmo learned that he is not dealing with a nerve issue but actually a small ligament tear near the base of his left index finger. It should heal on its own. He appears to be tracking toward a late-June activation from the injured list if he avoids setbacks.

Begins light swinging Nimmo (finger) has resumed swinging, although at a low intensity, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Nimmo unsuccessfully tried to hit off a tee and soft toss last week, but had to stop because his bruised finger continued to cause him pain. He's resumed swinging, though it doesn't appear that he's close to facing high-velocity pitching. With that being said, a late-June return remains a best-case scenario for the outfielder.

Still shut down Nimmo (finger) has no timetable for a new rehab assignment, Deesha Thosar of The New York Daily News reports.

Impact According to manager Luis Rojas on Tuesday, Nimmo recently attempted to hit off a tee and take soft toss from a coach but his finger was still bothering him. The outfielder last saw action May 13 at Triple-A Syracuse before that rehab stint was cut short, and he'll need a couple weeks to get back into game shape once he's finally comfortable swinging a bat again.
