After the New York Mets' loss against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 in the NLCS, Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo told The Athletic that he had been dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot since May 2024.

“Right now it hurts pretty good,” Nimmo said after the game. “The second-to-last game against Philadelphia, I did something on the field and made it quite a bit worse. … When it gets inflamed and flares up, it’s a harder thing to calm down.”
