After waking up confused in a hotel bathroom early Monday morning, outfielder Brandon Nimmo missed the New York Mets game at Nationals Park later that evening.
Nimmo fainted in the room and hit his head as he fell to the floor.
First-time Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Nimmo cut his forehead but confirmed the outfielder avoided a concussion.
“He had all the tests this morning,” Mendoza said. “He wanted to make sure we didn’t miss anything. Luckily, everything came back negative. So I think we got lucky.”

Nimmo remembers waking up shortly after 5 a.m. because he didn’t feel well. At one point, as he was heading to the bathroom, he got cramps and passed out.

When he came to and stood up, he was bleeding from the head and didn’t know why. He called the Mets trainers, who went to his room to help him.

Nimmo was then taken to hospital, where he underwent tests. He arrived at the stadium on Monday afternoon with a bandage on his forehead. He told reporters the bandage was a precautionary measure.
“He has a pretty significant cut,” Mendoza said.
