Nimmo Eyes Weekend Return After Shoulder Shot
3 Jul
Summary
- Brandon Nimmo is recovering from a left shoulder A/C joint sprain.
- He received a cortisone shot and is undergoing light hitting and fielding.
- Nimmo hopes to play this weekend despite two prior injuries.
Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo is steadily progressing towards a potential return this weekend after suffering a sprained A/C joint in his left shoulder on Sunday in Toronto. He received a cortisone injection two days ago and has since been participating in light hitting and fielding exercises. Nimmo expressed confidence in his recovery, noting that the injury is to his non-throwing shoulder.
The Rangers are managing Nimmo's situation carefully, especially with other key players like Wyatt Langford and Corey Seager currently on the injured list. A cautious approach is being taken to avoid placing a third starter on the injured list within a week. Nimmo suffered the injury while making a catch on Sunday and an MRI on Monday confirmed the sprain. He was slashing .262/.333/.420 with eight home runs and 29 RBI in 82 games prior to the injury.
