New York Mets left fielder Brandon Nimmo was removed in the second inning against Washington with a stiff neck on Wednesday night. There was no obvious play where Nimmo was hurt. He grounded into a double play to end the first inning and did not have a chance in the field.

Brandon Nimmo was pulled from a game at Nationals Park before the bottom of the second inning, with Starling Marte taking his spot in left field.

Brandon Nimmo explained why he felt he had to go out of the game on Wednesday in an eventual 5-4 loss for the Mets.
