Nimmo will be sidelined for a couple weeks due to a grade 1 hamstring strain, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

Analysis:

Nimmo's hamstring injury will likely put an abrupt end to his World Baseball Classic stint with Team Italy. Although he is only expected to miss a few weeks, there is no guarantee he'll be fully recovered prior to the start of the regular season. Prior to leaving for the WBC, Nimmo had been off to a nice start to spring training and will be hoping that he can still earn a spot on the Mets' Opening Day roster as a fifth outfielder.
