What happened: Play paused for an injury delay involving Brandon Nimmo during the top of the ninth inning, with the score 6-3. The stoppage came in the final frame of a one-possession game.

Why it matters: A late-inning injury delay puts a regular's availability in question heading into the closing outs and beyond. Any extended absence for Nimmo would ripple through the lineup and outfield rotation as the 2026 regular season continues.

What to watch: Watch for an official update on Nimmo's status and whether he remains in the game or is replaced before the final out.
