Nimmo appeared to sustain the injury when going from second to third on a groundout by Joc Pederson after reaching base earlier in the fifth inning on a single off first baseman Ben Rice’s glove. He was replaced as a pinch runner by Sam Haggerty, who entered the game as the left fielder while Alejandro Osuna moved over to right field.
Nimmo was injured shortly after Josh Jung’s two-run single gave the Rangers a 2-0 lead.
Acquired from the New York Mets in a November trade for Marcus Semien, Nimmo entered the day hitting .287 with four homers and 12 RBIs in his first 30 games for the Rangers.
After being frequently injured early in his career with the Mets, Nimmo missed a combined 40 games over the last four seasons. In his final season for the Mets, Nimmo set career highs with 25 homers and 92 RBIs in a career-best 155 games.
