The New York Mets made a roster move prior to Game 1 of Tuesday’s doubleheader against the San Francisco Giants.
The team activated outfielder Brandon Nimmo from MLB’s COVID-19 injured list and optioned outfielder Nick Plummer to Triple-A Syracuse to make room on the 28-man roster.
Nimmo and his teammate Mark Canha both tested positive for COVID-19 this past Friday. Canha remains on the COVID-19 injured list.
Despite being activated, Nimmo is not in the starting lineup for the first game of the doubleheader.
