Brandon Nimmo was removed from the Mets’ game Wednesday against the Twins after fouling a ball off the top of his left foot while batting in the sixth inning. 

Nimmo took several seconds&nbsp;to attempt to walk off the pain before resuming the at-bat against Minnesota starter Pablo Lopez, which resulted in a strikeout for the first out of the inning.

Nimmo, who was hitless in three at-bats in the game, was replaced in left field to start the seventh inning by Ben Gamel. 

Nimmo leads the Mets with 65 RBIs this season, but he is batting .111 (5-for-45) with no homers and two RBIs with 16 strikeouts in 12 games since the All-Star break.
