TOMÁS NIDO NEWS

Receives clean MRI Nido (wrist) underwent an MRI on Wednesday that came back clean, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Nido suffered a wrist injury in the first game of Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta, but he's still dealing with some limitations despite Wednesday's encouraging update. The exact nature of his injury isn't yet clear, and whether he requires time on the injured list remains to be seen.

Exits with apparent injury Nido left the first game of Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta with an apparent wrist injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Nido was hit in the wrist by a pitch and replaced by James McCann, who will almost certainly start behind the plate for the nightcap. The severity of Nido's injury is not yet clear.

Set to lose playing time Nido is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact With James McCann logging more reps at first base of late, Nido has enjoyed a near-everyday role behind the plate. However, catching in eight of the last 11 games, Nido's run of steady playing time looks to be over after Pete Alonso (hand) was reinstated from the injured list. With Alonso taking over as the Mets' primary first baseman, McCann will begin logging more time behind the dish.

Cranks homer in win Nido went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's victory over the Rockies.

Impact Nido took Chi Chi Gonzalez deep in the sixth inning to tally his third long ball of the year while giving the Mets the lead for good. The 27-year-old continues to shine while filling in for James McCann behind the plate, making six starts over the last eight games and going 7-for-20 with two home runs during that span. Across 19 games this season, Nido is batting .260/.315/.520.

Surprise source of offense in win Nido went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored Tuesday in the Mets' 3-1 win over Atlanta.

Impact Valued mainly for his work as a game caller behind the dish, Nido came through with a rare big day at the plate for a Mets offense missing several key contributors due to injury. The three-hit outing was the first of Nido's career, but he's unlikely to be rewarded with an uptick in starts so long as No. 1 backstop James McCann is available. McCann had started in eight of the previous nine games before getting a much-needed breather Monday.

Launches homer Nido went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Impact Nido didn't see action during the first game of the twin bill but made his presence felt in Game 2, as he was one of three players with two hits and two RBI while also going deep for the first time in 2021. The 27-year-old backstop only has 16 at-bats this season, however, and the lack of playing time certainly conspires against his fantasy upside.

MAY 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Little work to begin year Nido has seven plate appearances through six games to begin the season, going 1-for-6 with a triple and a strikeout.

Impact James McCann has seen a heavy workload in the early going, but he's still been able to get plenty of rest thanks to the Mets' erratic schedule. That's left few opportunities for Nido to slot into the lineup, but the 27-year-old will be needed more often over the summer, even if his career .559 OPS in 102 big-league games doesn't give him much fantasy appeal even as a DFS punt option.

Catching in Wednesday's game Nido (foot) will catch and bat ninth for the Mets in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Nido will re-enter the Mets' spring lineup for the first time since March 7 after being withheld from action for just over a week with a bruised left foot. The 26-year-old looks on track to enter the season as the top backup to No. 1 catcher James McCann.

MARCH 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Taking part in catching work Nido (foot) is in catcher's gear and caught a pregame warmup for Sunday's scrimmage, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact The 26-year-old was already cleared to hit after after fouling a ball off his left foot a few days ago, and it appears he's nearing a return to game action behind the plate. The injury appears to be a minor concern, so Nido's availability for Opening Day shouldn't be affected.

MARCH 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to hit Nido (foot) is expected to be ready to hit Sunday but isn't quite ready to catch, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact Nido was scratched from Friday's lineup after fouling a ball off his foot the day before. X-rays were negative and he's already able to hit, so there's little reason to fear for his readiness for Opening Day.

MARCH 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Battling bruised foot Nido was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Marlins due to a left foot contusion, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact The reason for Nido's removal wasn't initially clear, but it sounds like he isn't dealing with anything serious. He fouled a ball off his foot during batting practice Thursday, but X-rays were negative. The injury shouldn't meaningfully impact his preparation for Opening Day.

MARCH 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched from lineup Nido was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against Miami for undisclosed reasons, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Impact Nido is expected to back up James McCann behind the plate this season. It's not yet clear if he's dealing with something that could send him to the injured list to start the season. Non-roster invitee Caleb Joseph will start in his place Friday and could potentially earn a roster spot if Nido is indeed dealing with a long-term issue.
