“#Mets’ Brandon Nimmo working through sharp hip pain<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Brandon Nimmo still isn\u2019t sure what caused his recent right-hip stiffness, but a cortisone shot later, he returned to the Mets\u2019 starting lineup Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The hip first started bothering Nimmo when the Mets were playing at Colorado on April 18 and caused him to miss a road start against the Cubs last week. After receiving an MRI exam, Nimmo decided on Monday to get the shot, which kept him from starting against the Red Sox on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Nimmo said the pain was sharp enough at one point last week that he had difficulty rolling over in bed. The mechanism of the injury remains a mystery.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just remember coming in from left field [in Colorado] and feeling a sharp pain in my right hip and thinking it was just part of baseball,\u201d Nimmo said before the Mets\u2019 1-0 loss to the Red Sox, in which he finished 0-for-3 with a walk. \u201cI figured it would get better over the off day and it didn\u2019t, and I went in the next day and we tried to do the best that we could with it. We tried to play through it and it got worse after that \u2026 and so we have been trying to work on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nimmo said he isn\u2019t concerned about a long-term effect because he had similar discomfort in his left hip in 2018 and the matter resolved itself after receiving a cortisone shot and rehabbing.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully this is just something that it got in the wrong position, whatever it might be, and we can just deal with it this one time,\u201d Nimmo said. \u201cWe are hopeful it\u2019s just like the one in 2018 where it kind of popped up for a couple of weeks and we haven\u2019t heard from it since.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacob deGrom\u2019s nine strikeouts gave him 59 through his first five starts of the season. That matches Nolan Ryan\u2019s record for the most through five app<\/a>earances to begin a season, since 1893. DeGrom\u2019s 0.51 ERA is the lowest through five starts in Mets history.<\/p>\n
Jeurys Familia\u2019s strong start to the season is among the best signs to have emerged from a bullpen that entered play 15th in the major leagues with a 4.06 ERA. The veteran Familia has a 1.59 ERA in six appearances, including a 4 \u00b2\/\u2083 inning scoreless streak dating to April 10.<\/p>\n
