Brandon Nimmo limped into the Mets clubhouse Sunday morning with his right leg swathed in a black double wrap from ankle to knee.
It was so stark that it was easy to disregard the small — by comparison — white bandage splayed over his left ankle. Nimmo’s right foot stuck as he was sliding toward second base Friday night and caused what the team termed low-grade sprains of both his right ankle and knee. But his foot stuck with such a hold that when it popped out of the dirt it forcefully kicked back into his left ankle, gashing it with a cleat.
Nimmo could find humor Sunday morning because 24 hours earlier imaging revealed “The best news we could have gotten” — “I was definitely scared right when it happened given what had just happened with Edwin,” Nimmo said.
