Jun 19 2024The Cubs signed Nido to a one-year contract Wednesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Cubs will swap out Yan Gomes -- who was designated for assignment -- for Nido. Nido was designated for assignment himself and eventually released by the Mets earlier this month but he quickly lands on his feet in Chicago, where he'll share catching duties with Miguel Amaya.
Jun 11 2024The Mets designated Nido for assignment Tuesday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Francisco Alvarez is back from the injured list and the Mets have elected to keep Luis Torrens around as his backup. Given his $2.1 million salary, Nido might clear waivers and remain in the organization.
Jun 9 2024Nido is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido continues to lose work behind the plate to Luis Torrens, with the former sitting for the fifth time in six games Sunday. Torrens went 1-for-3 in Saturday's 7-2 loss, and Nido appears to have lost his grip on the starting job behind home plate.
Jun 8 2024Nido isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido will sit for the fourth time in five games Saturday as Luis Torrens draws the start behind the plate while batting ninth. Torrens has gone 3-for-10 with two homers in three games since joining the Mets on Sunday, and continued success from him could cause Nido to drop down the Mets' depth chart.
Jun 5 2024Nido is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After catching seven innings of the Mets' 6-3 win Tuesday night, Nido will get a breather Wednesday as the NL East rivals wrap up their series with a day game. Luis Torrens will check in behind the plate for Nido on Wednesday.
Jun 3 2024Nido is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido will take a seat for the second day in a row while the Mets give Luis Torrens another turn behind the plate. Since Francisco Alvarez (thumb) landed on the injured list April 20, Nido has taken over as the Mets' primary backstop, but he hasn't offered much to get excited about for fantasy purposes. Through 31 games this season, Nido is hitting .225 with three home runs, zero stolen bases, nine runs and eight RBI.
Jun 2 2024Nido is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido started behind the plate for both of the first two games of the series, going 1-for-7 with one RBI and two strikeouts. He'll cede catching duties Sunday to Luis Torrens, who will bat ninth and his first start of the season.
May 30 2024Nido went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The backstop took Elieser Hernandez deep in the fifth inning to get the Mets on the board, but a late collapse by the bullpen led to a 10-3 loss. Nido is slashing .233/.260/.370 in the majors this year with three homers and seven RBI in 28 games, and with Francisco Alvarez (thumb) ready to begin a rehab assignment, the clock is ticking on his time in a prominent role for the Mets.
May 28 2024Nido isn't in the Mets' lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Dodgers, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido went 0-for-4 but scored a run during a loss in Game 1, and he'll give way to Omar Narvaez for the final game of Tuesday's action.
May 25 2024Nido isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido will get a day off after going 0-for-2 with a sac fly during Friday's series opener. Omar Narvaez will fill in behind the plate and bat ninth.
May 22 2024Nido is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the Mets wrapping up their series in Cleveland with a day game, Nido will receive a breather after catching eight innings of Tuesday's 7-6 loss. Omar Narvaez will spell Nido behind the plate Wednesday.
May 21 2024Nido went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido accounted for New York's only run of the contest with a 405-foot solo shot in the third inning. The long ball was his second of the campaign and first since April 26. Nido is batting .241 on the season but has gone 9-for-30 (.300 average) over his past 10 games.
May 16 2024Nido isn't in the Mets' lineup Thursday versus Philadelphia. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido will catch a breather after going 2-for-4 with an RBI during Wednesday's loss. Omar Narvaez will fill in at catcher while batting ninth.
May 8 2024Nido is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido will get a breather for the day game after he started behind the dish in both of the first two contests of the series. Omar Narvaez will form a battery with starting pitcher Jose Quintana on Wednesday.
May 5 2024Nido is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido will get a breather for the series finale after he caught both of the Mets' previous two games. Omar Narvaez will replace Nido behind the plate and will bat ninth.
May 2 2024Nido is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido will get a breather for Thursday's afternoon game after he caught all nine innings of Wednesday's 1-0 loss. Omar Narvaez will handle catching duties in the series finale.
Apr 29 2024Nido will start at catcher and bat ninth Monday against the Cubs, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido is behind the plate for the fourth time in five games and appears to be the Mets' preferred option at catcher over Omar Narvaez while Francisco Alvarez (thumb) is on the shelf. Though he's well regarded for his framing and ability to manage the Mets' pitching staff, Nido is a career .213 hitter and offers little power or speed, making him uninteresting for fantasy purposes outside of NL-only leagues.
Apr 27 2024Nido went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 30-year-old backstop took Miles Mikolas deep in the fifth inning to get the Mets on the board and give Nido his first homer in the majors since Sept. 2022. He had a hot start to the season at Triple-A and hasn't slowed down in the majors yet, going 3-for-9 while starting three of the last five games. With Omar Narvaez struggling both at the plate and in controlling the running game, the door is open for Nido to take on a significant role while Francisco Alvarez (thumb) is on the shelf.
Apr 22 2024Nido went 1-for-3 with a strikeout in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Making his first start of the season for the Mets and batting ninth, Nido threw out Will Smith attempting to swipe second base to end the third inning -- a noteworthy event only because Francisco Alvarez (thumb) and Omar Narvaez had gone a combined 0-for-28 to begin the season in throwing out base-stealers. With Alvarez sidelined and Narvaez batting just .200 (5-for-25), Nido's defense could earn him more than just a short-side platoon role while he's in the majors.
Apr 20 2024The Mets called up Nido from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The move comes with the Mets placing Francisco Alvarez (thumb) on the IL. Nido has played well with Triple-A Syracuse this season, slashing .345/.345/.517 with two doubles, one home run and two RBI over 30 plate appearances. With Alvarez on the shelf, Nido will serve as the Mets' backup catcher behind Omar Narvaez.
Jun 9 2023Nido was outrighted Friday to Triple-A Syracuse, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Puma hears that Nido plans to accept the outright assignment if he is not traded. The 29-year-old catcher passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment by the Mets this past Monday. He's a career .213/.249/.308 hitter in 805 plate appearances at the MLB level.
Jun 5 2023The Mets designated Nido for assignment Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster for fellow catcher Omar Narvaez (calf), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list prior to Tuesday's series opener in Atlanta. According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, the Mets are expected to find a taker for Nido via trade, but if a deal can't be finalized within the next few days, the veteran backstop will be exposed to waivers. The 29-year-old was hitting just .125 over 61 plate appearances on the season but was valued by the Mets for his defensive acumen.
May 19 2023Nido (eye) was cleared to begin a rehab assignment Friday with Single-A St. Lucie. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido was placed on the injured list May 10 due to lingering issues with dryness in both of his eyes, but that has been solved via punctal plugs and medicated eye drops. It's unclear how he'll eventually fit back into the mix at catcher with the Mets, who promoted Gary Sanchez on Friday to back up Francisco Alvarez.
May 17 2023Nido recently had punctal plugs inserted into each of his eyes to help with his vision issues, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The plugs open his tear ducts and keep his eyes more naturally lubricated. Nido has also been prescribed medicated eye drops to aid in solving the dry eye syndrome that sent him to the injured list last week. He could be ready to return to the Mets relatively soon, though they might want to run with Francisco Alvarez and Michael Perez as their catching tandem for a while longer. Omar Narvaez (calf) will eventually be back in the mix too.
May 10 2023Nido is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list with a vision issue, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Officially, Nido is dealing with "dry eye syndrome" and is expected to be OK in 3-to-4 days, per Tim Healey of Newsday. Michael Perez will replace him on the roster. Francisco Alvarez will be the Mets' primary catcher.
Mar 16 2023Nido went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the start behind the plate and hitting sixth, Nido took Drew VerHagen deep in the fifth inning. It's the backstop's third homer this spring, and he's gone 10-for-26 (.385) in Grapefruit League action while adding a couple doubles as well. The 28-year-old will split time behind the plate with Omar Narvaez this season, likely filling the short side of a platoon, but Nido's career .220/.257/.323 slash line in 744 plate appearances doesn't suggest an offensive breakout is imminent.
Jan 18 2023Nido agreed to a two-year, $3.7 million contract extension with the Mets on Wednesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The contract covers Nido's remaining arbitration years and pays him $1.6 million in 2023 and $2.1 million in 2024. The 28-year-old is expected to serve as a backup backstop again after registering a .239/.276/.324 slash line over 313 plate appearances for the Mets in 2022.
Oct 5 2022Nido is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido will be on the bench for the second straight game to close out the regular season. Francisco Alvarez will replace him behind the dish.
Oct 1 2022Nido went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido's eighth-inning shot was too little and too late, as the Mets were behind by four and it would turn out to be the final run of the game as Atlanta took the win. It was Nido's third homer of the season, all of which have come this month. The catcher has been heating up in September, slashing .333/.340/.608 and raising his season batting average from .224 to .243 over that span.
Sep 19 2022Nido will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The hot-hitting Nido seems to have temporarily settled in ahead of James McCann on the depth chart at catcher. He'll stick in the lineup for the third time in four games after going 11-for-22 with five extra-base hits (two home runs, three doubles) and a walk over his last six starts.
Sep 15 2022Nido went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-3 loss against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido homered off lefty starter Drew Smyly for the Mets' first hit of the game with one out in the third inning. The catcher has recorded an extra-base hit in four straight games and a home run in two straight. In addition, the 28-year-old has tallied six RBI over 21 at-bats in his last seven contests.
Sep 1 2022Nido is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The playing time at catcher has tilted in favor of James McCann lately, with Nido having now sat in three of the past four games. Even if Nido re-emerges as the preferred backstop for the Mets, he's unlikely to provide much of an imprint in fantasy leagues, given that he's hitting .222 with no home runs or stolen bases in 252 plate appearances on the campaign.
Aug 30 2022Nido is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido and James McCann look to be stuck in a true timeshare at catcher, with two having now picked up three starts apiece over the Mets' last six contests. Even if the playing time eventually tilts more heavily in Nido's favor, he's unlikely to provide much fantasy value. In 249 plate appearances on the season, Nido is hitting .221 with no home runs and no stolen bases.
Aug 28 2022Nido is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido is on the bench for the series finale, but after starting in three of the Mets' last four games following his return from the COVID-19-related injured list, he may have overtaken James McCann as the team's No. 1 backstop. For the season, Nido has produced a lowly .221/.266/.261 line across 249 plate appearances, but the Mets put a lot of value on the work he does defensively.
Aug 22 2022Nido (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Monday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido was sidelined for the last week, but he is ready to get back on the field. Nido did not require a rehab assignment, but he will work behind James McCann for at least one night.
Aug 21 2022Nido (illness) may require a rehab assignment prior to being activated from the injured list, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido was expected back for the team's weekend series against the Phillies, though he is not yet ready to return. He's been sidelined since Aug. 13, so he likely wouldn't need a long rehab stint prior to returning.
Aug 18 2022The Mets hope Nido (illness) will be able to return from the COVID-19 injured list sometime this weekend in Philadelphia, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido has been on the COVID-19 IL since Monday, but it seems likely that he'll be back in action after missing less than a week. The team hasn't announced a date for the backstop's return, but he should be back in action within the coming days.
Aug 15 2022Nido was placed on the COVID-19-related injured list Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's unclear how long Nido will be sidelined, but he will be unavailable until he has put the COVID-19 concerns behind him. Michael Perez was called up to take Nido's spot on the roster.
Aug 13 2022Nido is starting Saturday against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido was in a timeshare with James McCann behind the dish in early August, but the former is starting at catcher for the fifth time in the last seven games. Nido has recorded hits in six consecutive matchups, slashing .333/.364/.476 with three doubles, three runs and two RBI during that time.
Aug 4 2022Nido is on the bench for Thursday's game against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the Mets activating James McCann (oblique) from the injured list Thursday and inserting into the lineup, Nido's reign as the team's No. 1 catcher will come to an end. Though McCann has operated as the Mets' top option behind the plate when healthy during his two seasons with the team, manager Buck Showalter said Wednesday that McCann and Nido are likely to be used in a near-50/50 timeshare at catcher in the short-term future, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Once McCann's oblique injury is further behind him, however, expect him to eventually get the lion's share of the starts.
Jul 31 2022Nido is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Miami, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido started all seven games since the All-Star break and will take a seat after posting a .770 OPS during that span. Patrick Mazeika will start behind the plate and bat ninth Sunday.
Jul 23 2022Nido (hand) is starting Saturday against San Diego. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido was removed from Friday's matchup against the Padres due to a left hand contusion, but he said prior to Saturday's game that he's moved past the injury and isn't concerned that it'll be a long-term issue. The Mets acquired Michael Perez from the Pirates on Saturday to serve as additional depth behind the plate, but it seems like Nido will be available moving forward.
Jul 22 2022Nido left Friday's game against the Padres with a left-hand contusion, Deesha Thosar of FoxSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: X-rays returned negative, providing some hope that Nido will avoid a long-term absence. If he's forced to miss further time, the Mets catching depth will be tested with James McCann (oblique) also sidelined.
Jul 17 2022Nido is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs due to a left forearm injury, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Per Puma, manager Buck Showalter said Nido is undergoing an MRI for the injury that will keep him on the bench for the series finale, though the skipper doesn't believe the backstop is dealing with anything serious. Patrick Mazeika will pick up the start behind the dish Sunday, forming a battery with starting pitcher David Peterson.
Jul 16 2022Nido isn't starting the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido is out of the lineup for the third time in the last four games during Saturday's matinee. Patrick Mazeika is starting behind the plate and batting ninth.
Jul 14 2022Nido isn't starting Thursday's game against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido went 1-for-12 with a run, a walk and two strikeouts over his last four matchups and will head to the bench for the second time in the last three games. Patrick Mazeika is starting behind the plate and batting ninth.
Jul 12 2022Nido is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido will take a seat Tuesday after he went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Monday's win. Patrick Mazeika will start at catcher and bat ninth against Atlanta. Nido will likely continue to garner the lion's share of work behind the plate while James McCann (oblique) is on the 10-day injured list.
Jul 11 2022Nido will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game in Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido will make his second consecutive start and should act as the Mets' No. 1 catcher for the foreseeable future after James McCann was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with an oblique strain that manager Buck Showalter said will keep the veteran backstop sidelined for "weeks." With that being the case, it wouldn't be surprising if the Mets looked outside of the organization for catching help ahead of the Aug. 2 deadline, as Nido is probably best suited for a backup role. Though he draws praise for his abilities as a game caller and pitch framer, Nido has been a well below league-average hitter (51 wRC+) over parts of six seasons in the majors.
Jun 26 2022Nido is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido is on the bench for the second straight contest and is expected to see his opportunities take a steep hit moving forward after the Mets reinstated top backstop James McCann (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Friday. Before McCann's return, Nido had started in seven of the Mets' previous eight games while going 3-for-22 with a run and an RBI.
Jun 21 2022Nido will sit Tuesday in Houston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido is the clear No. 1 option behind the plate in Queens in the absence of James McCann (wrist), starting 10 of the last 11 games. However, Nido will get a rest Tuesday with Patrick Mazeika taking over at the position.
Jun 15 2022Nido is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido will get a much-needed breather after he went 2-for-17 with an RBI and a pair of runs while starting behind the plate in each of the past five games. Patrick Mazeika will get a start at catcher Wednesday, but Nido seems to have clearly established himself as the Mets' No. 1 backstop while James McCann (wrist) remains on the injured list.
Jun 7 2022Nido is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at San Diego, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido started the past two games and will head to the bench Tuesday. Patrick Mazeika will work behind the plate and bat ninth.
Jun 2 2022Nido is not in Thursday's lineup against the Dodgers, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido is receiving a regular day of rest after delivering a four-hit performance Wednesday. Patrick Mazeika will take over behind the dish and hit ninth.
Jun 1 2022Nido went 4-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was Nido's third multi-hit effort of the season as well as his first career four-hit game. He knocked in a run in the fourth inning with a single before adding a two-run double in the eighth. The catcher is up to a .253/.276/.289 slash line with nine RBI, seven runs scored and three doubles through 30 contests. Nido appears to have picked up a slight edge in playing time over Patrick Mazeika, with the former starting in each of the last three games.
May 29 2022Nido is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido and Patrick Mazeika have now alternated turns behind the plate over the past seven games, with the former getting three starts to the latter's four. Expect a rough timeshare to remain in place for the two backstops until James McCann (wrist) is cleared to return from the 10-day injured list, likely at some point shortly before the All-Star break.
May 28 2022Nido isn't starting Saturday against Philadelphia, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido went 4-for-16 with two runs, an RBI, a walk and four strikeouts over his last five games, but he will get a breather Saturday. Nido has been sharing the starts behind the dish with Patrick Mazeika, who will get the nod Saturday and hit ninth.
May 25 2022Nido is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido will take a seat for Wednesday's matinee game after he started behind the plate in Tuesday's 13-12 loss and went 1-for-3 with a run scored. Patrick Mazeika will draw the starting nod at catcher, forming a battery with pitcher Thomas Szapucki in the lefty's first MLB start.
May 23 2022Nido is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido is the Mets' primary catcher with James McCann out with a wrist injury, but he doesn't appear to have a particularly heavy workload. He'll sit in favor of Patrick Mazeika for the fifth time in the last 10 games Monday.
May 21 2022Nido isn't starting the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido has alternated starts behind the dish over the last week, and he'll get a breather in Saturday's matinee. Patrick Mazeika will start at catcher and bat ninth.
May 18 2022Nido isn't starting Wednesday against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Tuesday's nightcap, and he'll be on the bench for the third time in the last five games. Patrick Mazeika will start behind the plate and bat ninth.
May 17 2022Nido will sit for the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Unsurprisingly, the Mets won't ask Nido to catch two games in one day. Patrick Mazeika will catch for Trevor Williams in the afternoon contest, with Nido presumably lined up to start the nightcap.
May 14 2022Nido isn't starting Saturday against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido started in the last three games and went 2-for-9 with an RBI, a walk and two strikeouts. Patrick Mazeika will take over behind the plate and bat ninth Saturday.
Apr 17 2022Nido isn't included in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido picked up his fourth start of the season Saturday, going 0-for-2 with two strikeouts in the Mets' 3-2 loss. No. 1 backstop James McCann will be back behind plate for the series finale, resulting in Nido moving back into his typical bench role. Nido has gone 3-for-13 at the dish through his four starts.
Apr 5 2022Nido is batting .417 (10-for-24) with a double and a homer this spring. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Mets' backup catcher has only a .566 OPS in his big-league career, so don't expect him to maintain that level of offense once the regular season begins. Nido will likely need a James McCann injury to see significant playing time in 2022, but his spot on the roster at least seems secure for now with top prospect Francisco Alvarez still a couple years away from the majors.
Sep 29 2021The Mets placed Nido on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a sprained left thumb, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The same injury has previously forced Nido to the shelf on two other occasions in recent weeks, and it'll now result in his 2021 campaign coming to an end with five games still left on the Mets' schedule. New York called up Patrick Mazeika from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move, and he'll serve as the No. 2 catcher behind James McCann the rest of the way. Nido concludes the 2021 campaign with a .222/.261/.327 slash line, three home runs, one stolen base, 16 runs and 13 RBI in 161 plate appearances over 58 games.
Sep 14 2021Nido (thumb) will be reinstated from the 10-day injured list by the Mets on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido suffered a sprained thumb in late August and recently went 3-for-7 with two RBI and a run across two rehab games. The 27-year-old will mainly serve as a backup to James McCann, but he's starting at catcher and batting eighth in Tuesday's game against the Cardinals, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
Sep 13 2021Nido (thumb) rejoined his teammates Monday but won't be activated until Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido is nearly ready to return from the thumb sprained which has sidelined him for all of September, but he evidently needs one more day before he's ready to go. He'll serve as James McCann's backup behind the plate down the stretch.
Sep 11 2021Nido (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido will return to game action nearly two weeks after he was placed on the injured list due to a left thumb sprain. Since the 27-year-old hasn't been sidelined too long, he'll likely be considered to rejoin the major-league club early next week.
Aug 31 2021Nido was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left thumb sprain, Mike Mayer of Metsmerized reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He had just returned from the 10-day injured list Friday from the exact same injury, so he may have reaggravated his thumb in that first game back. Chance Sisco was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to serve as the backup catcher behind Patrick Mazeika until James McCann (back) returns from the IL.
Aug 29 2021Nido is out of the lineup Sunday against the Nationals due to soreness in his left thumb, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido returned from the injured list Friday after being sidelined by a left thumb sprain, and it appears the injury remains bothersome. The 27-year-old is available off the bench Sunday, but any further issues could result in another trip to the injured list. Patrick Mazeika will receive another start behind the plate for New York.
Aug 28 2021Nido isn't starting Saturday's game against Washington, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido returned from the injured list Friday and went 1-for-2 with a strikeout. Patrick Mazeika will take his place behind the dish and bat eighth.
Aug 27 2021Nido (thumb) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is starting Friday against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.comy reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido returns to the active roster after spending 11 days on the injured list with a sprained left thumb. He's set to catch Rich Hill on Friday and he's likely to serve as New York's primary backstop until James McCann (back) returns from the injured list.
Aug 26 2021Nido (thumb) could be ready to return from the 10-day injured list as soon as Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido's sprained left thumb resulted in him landing on the IL on Aug. 16, but a recent cortisone shot appears to have alleviated most of the pain he was experiencing. The Mets will likely re-evaluate Nido early Friday before determining whether to send him out on a rehab assignment. With No. 1 catcher James McCann (back) further behind in his recovery from injury, Nido could enjoy a brief run as the Mets' top backstop once activated.
Aug 24 2021Nido received a cortisone injection in his sprained left thumb Tuesday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido is eligible to return from the injured list Wednesday, but he'll likely need a few more days to let the shot take effect. Assuming the injection works, he should be back before too long, as he resumed hitting and other baseball activities Tuesday.
Aug 16 2021Nido was placed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left thumb Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido had been out of the lineup in three of the last four games, and he's apparently dealing with a thumb injury that will force him to miss at least 10 days. Patrick Mazeika was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to serve as catching depth behind James McCann.
Aug 15 2021Nido is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido started behind the dish in Saturday's 2-1 loss and went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts, but he'll be back on the bench for the series finale while James McCann catches for starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco. Given that Nido has picked up five starts in August to McCann's nine, Nido looks like the clear No. 2 backstop for New York.
Jul 21 2021Nido will start at catcher and bat seventh Wednesday against the Reds, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido will pick up his third start in four games after going 3-for-8 with a double and two runs. James McCann -- who is getting a breather Wednesday -- still sits atop the depth chart and is expected to receive the bulk of the starts behind the plate moving forward, despite Nido's recent spike in playing time.
Jul 2 2021Nido (wrist) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido will return from a minimum stay on the injured list after appearing in one rehab game at Triple-A Syracuse. The 27-year-old will reclaim backup catching duties from Patrick Mazeika, who was optioned to the minors.
Jun 29 2021Nido (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido will be eligible to return from the injured list Friday. The Mets have yet to officially announce his expected return date, but a minimum-length stay appears to be a possibility.
Jun 23 2021Nido (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Despite receiving encouraging MRI results Wednesday, the catcher will be out until the start of July at the earliest while his wrist heals. Patrick Mazeika, whom the Mets recalled Tuesday, will back up James McCann while Nido is sidelined.
Jun 21 2021Nido left the first game of Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta with an apparent wrist injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido was hit in the wrist by a pitch and replaced by James McCann, who will almost certainly start behind the plate for the nightcap. The severity of Nido's injury is not yet clear.
May 31 2021Nido is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With James McCann logging more reps at first base of late, Nido has enjoyed a near-everyday role behind the plate. However, catching in eight of the last 11 games, Nido's run of steady playing time looks to be over after Pete Alonso (hand) was reinstated from the injured list. With Alonso taking over as the Mets' primary first baseman, McCann will begin logging more time behind the dish.
May 25 2021Nido went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's victory over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido took Chi Chi Gonzalez deep in the sixth inning to tally his third long ball of the year while giving the Mets the lead for good. The 27-year-old continues to shine while filling in for James McCann behind the plate, making six starts over the last eight games and going 7-for-20 with two home runs during that span. Across 19 games this season, Nido is batting .260/.315/.520.
May 18 2021Nido went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored Tuesday in the Mets' 3-1 win over Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Valued mainly for his work as a game caller behind the dish, Nido came through with a rare big day at the plate for a Mets offense missing several key contributors due to injury. The three-hit outing was the first of Nido's career, but he's unlikely to be rewarded with an uptick in starts so long as No. 1 backstop James McCann is available. McCann had started eight of the previous nine games before getting a much-needed breather Monday.
May 5 2021Nido went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido didn't see action during the first game of the twin bill but made his presence felt in Game 2, as he was one of three players with two hits and two RBI while also going deep for the first time in 2021. The 27-year-old backstop only has 16 at-bats this season, however, and the lack of playing time certainly conspires against his fantasy upside.
Apr 23 2021Nido has seven plate appearances through six games to begin the season, going 1-for-6 with a triple and a strikeout. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: James McCann has seen a heavy workload in the early going, but he's still been able to get plenty of rest thanks to the Mets' erratic schedule. That's left few opportunities for Nido to slot into the lineup, but the 27-year-old will be needed more often over the summer, even if his career .559 OPS in 102 big-league games doesn't give him much fantasy appeal even as a DFS punt option.
Mar 17 2021Nido (foot) will catch and bat ninth for the Mets in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido will re-enter the Mets' spring lineup for the first time since March 7 after being withheld from action for just over a week with a bruised left foot. The 26-year-old looks on track to enter the season as the top backup to No. 1 catcher James McCann.
Mar 14 2021Nido (foot) is in catcher's gear and caught a pregame warmup for Sunday's scrimmage, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old was already cleared to hit after after fouling a ball off his left foot a few days ago, and it appears he's nearing a return to game action behind the plate. The injury appears to be a minor concern, so Nido's availability for Opening Day shouldn't be affected.
Mar 13 2021Nido (foot) is expected to be ready to hit Sunday but isn't quite ready to catch, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido was scratched from Friday's lineup after fouling a ball off his foot the day before. X-rays were negative and he's already able to hit, so there's little reason to fear for his readiness for Opening Day.
Mar 12 2021Nido was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Marlins due to a left foot contusion, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The reason for Nido's removal wasn't initially clear, but it sounds like he isn't dealing with anything serious. He fouled a ball off his foot during batting practice Thursday, but X-rays were negative. The injury shouldn't meaningfully impact his preparation for Opening Day.
Sep 5 2020Nido (undisclosed) has been cleared to resume baseball activities and returned to the Mets' player pool Saturday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido landed on the injured list in late August for undisclosed reasons, though it appears to be COVID-19 related. He should be ready to go before too long, though Robinson Chirinos has since joined the team, which could mean Nido is no longer needed.
Aug 25 2020Nido was placed on the injured list Tuesday for an undisclosed reason, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The team is not specifying which IL Nido is being placed on; reading between the lines, it seems his absence could be COVID-19 related. Pat Mazeika was recalled to take his spot on the active roster.
Aug 13 2020Nido went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a grand slam in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Nido gave the Mets a 3-1 lead with a two-run long ball off Austin Voth in the fourth inning and broke the game open an inning later with a grand slam against Seth Romero. Nido has only played in five games while serving as Wilson Ramos's backup, but with his big day Thursday, the backstop is now slashing a solid .308/.400/.385 on the campaign.
Aug 5 2020Nido got the start behind the plate Tuesday and hit ninth, going 1-for-4 with two strikeouts. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wilson Ramos was still in the lineup but at DH, allowing Nido to make only his third start of the season. The 26-year-old has gone 3-for-10 in those starts, but as long as Ramos is healthy, playing time will be scarce for his backup.
Mar 14 2020Nido has gone 2-for-16 (.125) with a 1:6 BB:K to begin the spring. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old came into camp the favorite to win the No. 2 catching job behind Wilson Ramos, and while Nido hasn't done anything to distinguish himself at the plate, his main competition Rene Rivera hasn't made a big impact either. Expect the battle to be won by whichever receiver the pitching staff prefers working with rather than the offensive contribution they can make.

May 28 2018Nido was optioned to Double-A Binghamton on Monday, Tim Britton of The Athletic New York reports.While Nido has spent time in the big leagues in each of the last two seasons, largely due to the fact he is on the 40-man roster, he belongs at Double-A, as he has played just six games at Triple-A and 107 games at DoubleA. Kevin Plawecki (hand) was activated from the disabled list as a corresponding move.
May 19 2018The Mets recalled Nido from Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.Nido was sent to Las Vegas after the Mets' acquisition of Devin Mesoraco earlier in May, but returns to the team with Jose Lobaton now designated for assignment. Nido split catching duties with Lobaton in the his previous major-league stint and Mesoraco seems likely to serve as primary catcher this time around, although Nido will still likely have some opportunities.
Apr 29 2018Nido will start at catcher and bat eighth Sunday against the Padres, Matt Ehalt of The Bergen Record reports.Despite having their top two backstops in Kevin Plawecki (hand) and Travis d'Arnaud (elbow) on the disabled list, the Mets have thus far resisted looking outside the organization for help at catcher. That has allowed Nido to stick on the active roster for the past three weeks, with the 24-year-old working in a timeshare with veteran Jose Lobaton behind the plate. Both players have hit under .150 during their stints with the Mets, however, so it will be difficult to rely on either for much aid even in NL-only formats, especially while the duo continues to split time in relatively even fashion.
Apr 20 2018Nido is in no danger of getting bumped off the 25-man roster for now as the Mets are not pursuing a trade for another catcher, Kristie Ackert of The New York Daily News reports.The 24-year-old was called up from Double-A Binghamton after injuries sidelined Travis d'Arnaud (elbow) and Kevin Plawecki (hand), leaving Nido as the backup to veteran Jose Lobaton. While Nido has shown flashes of offensive upside in the low minors and was hitting .278 (5-for-18) for the Rumble Ponies before his promotion, he's likely to head back down once Plawecki is ready to return to action in a couple of weeks -- although he does still have a small window in which to impress the Mets enough to keep him in the majors instead of Lobaton as Plawecki's backup.
Apr 11 2018Nido was called up to the big leagues Wednesday to replace the injured Travis D'Arnaud (elbow), Tim Britton of The Athletic New York reports.D'Arnaud has a partially torn UCL which could require Tommy John surgery, in which case Nido could be in the majors for a long time. The 23-year-old has an unremarkable profile and doesn't project to be much more than a backup catcher. He went 3-for-10 in a brief stint in the majors last season, but spent the majority of the year at Double-A Binghamton, where he hit .232/.287/.354 in 404 plate appearances.
Sep 12 2017Nido was recalled from Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.Nido will get his first taste of the majors now that Binghamton's season is over. The 23-year-old backstop slashed .232/.287/.354 with eight homers and 60 RBI in 102 games for the Rumble Ponies prior to his promotion. Nido -- who was featured in the Futures Game earlier in the year -- is known more for his plate discipline (14.9 percent strikeout rate) and strong defensive profile, so he isn't expected to make much of a fantasy impact down he stretch. While he'll likely see an occasional start, this is primarily a learning opportunity for the Mets' top catching prospect.
