“#Mets’ Brandon Nimmo has torn ligame<\/a>nt on left index finger<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Brandon Nimmo\u2019s finger injury isn\u2019t a nerve issue. It\u2019s actually a small ligament tear in the base of his left index finger that has kept the outfielder on the injured list for so long, Mets manager Luis Rojas said Friday night.<\/p>\n

Nimmo has been out since May 1 with the injury, which was initially diagnosed as a bone bruise in his left pointer finger and then was described as a nerve problem. Nimmo found out he has been slowed by a ligament tear after getting a second opinion from a hand surgeon in Ohio.<\/p>\n

Acting general<\/a> manager Zack Scott said in the next few days Nimmo would begin swinging off a tee and against soft toss if he continues to progress. <\/p>\n

He has been taking dry swings the last few days.<\/p>\n

Jeff McNeil and Michael Conforto continue to make progress from strained hamstrings that sent both to the IL in mid-May. McNeil is scheduled to begin a rehabilitation assignment with Single-A Brooklyn on Sunday and he then will go to Trip<\/a>le-A Syracuse.<\/p>\n

Conforto, who ran the bases before Friday\u2019s 3-2 victory over the Padres, is a week behind McNeil, according to Scott. McNeil could return to the Mets at some point next week.<\/p>\n

Infielder\/outfielder J.D. Davis (left hand sprain) received a cortisone injection and his hand reacted well to it. He took swings on Friday for the first time since his hand was put in a splint, Scott said. Still, a return or rehabilitation assignment doesn\u2019t app<\/a>ear imminent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe progress is going to take a while \u2014 he\u2019s been out a while,\u201d Scott said. \u201cI think [he\u2019ll be back] probably later this month.\u201d<\/p>\n

Davis has been on the IL since April 10.<\/p>\n

Reliever Miguel Castro was bothered by stiffness in his neck and trapezius area during his outing Friday, in which he allowed a two-run homer to Jake Cronenworth. Rojas said he didn\u2019t think it was serious, and Castro wanted to stay in the game.<\/p>\n

Also, left-hander Aaron Loup was hit in the bicep by a Jorge Mateo line drive. Like Castro, Rojas said Loup appears to be fine.<\/p>\n
