Brandon Nimmo wanted to play Saturday, but wasn’t given the option by Mets brass.
after returning a day earlier from left quad tightness. The fact the Mets were playing a day game following a night game factored into the decision.“I just don’t want to take any chances,” manager Buck Showalter said before the game. “When they say they feel good or pretty good I want to keep them that way. With this short turnaround I thought it was prudent. … If we do this today by Tuesday it should be behind us. That got my attention.
If Bassitt takes his normal turn in the rotation, he would pitch Friday in Atlanta on six days’ rest. But the Mets have the flexibility of inserting Jacob deGrom in that spot ahead of him. Such a switch would leave deGrom available to pitch the following Wednesday in the season-finale against the Nationals, if that game holds significance.
