DENVER, CO - MAY 19: Brandon Nimmo #24 of the Texas Rangers high-fives teammates in the dugout after scoring in the second inning against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on May 19, 2026 in Denver, Colorado. (Photo by Justin Edmonds/Getty Images)

Texas had him batting third and playing right field at Coors, so any absence would matter: Nimmo entered the day hitting .288 with four HR, 12 RBI, one steal and a .803 OPS in his first season with the Rangers. There was no immediate severity update, making this a wait-for-testing/day-to-day situation for now. Recheck Texas’ next lineup before treating Nimmo as active.
