Brandon Nimmo exits Mets game after fouling ball off foot
NY Post
Brandon Nimmo was removed from the Mets’ game Wednesday against the Twins after fouling a ball off the top of his left foot while batting in the sixth inning.
Nimmo took several seconds to attempt to walk off the pain before resuming the at-bat against Minnesota starter Pablo Lopez, which resulted in a strikeout for the first out of the inning.
Nimmo, who was hitless in three at-bats in the game, was replaced in left field to start the seventh inning by Ben Gamel.
Nimmo leads the Mets with 65 RBIs this season, but he is batting .111 (5-for-45) with no homers and two RBIs with 16 strikeouts in 12 games since the All-Star break.
With the Yankees on an impressive run of mostly correct decisions, there’s some reason to leave them alone and just let the best team in the American League continue to roll. But they did raise serious doubt and leave room for suggestions (and even ridicule) following maybe the most inexplicable decision of this season, or any season.
The Giants have never been 0-2 under Brian Daboll, until now. They were 2-0 and flying high in 2022 and 1-1 after a rousing comeback in Arizona in 2023. So, this represents a low point as far as early-season difficulties for Daboll and the Giants. They had no business beating the Vikings in the opener and no business losing to the Commanders in Week 2. But here they are.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Harrison Butker kept making a lonely walk to midfield after each quarter Sunday to check on the direction of the wind, which tends to swirl inside Arrowhead Stadium. He did it one last time during the 2-minute warning, when his Chiefs were trailing the Bengals by two and trying to give him a winning field-goal attempt.
