Mets spring training continued on Friday in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
Among the new arrivals was Jeff McNeil, who joined a growing group of position players who are in camp ahead of the mandatory reporting date.
Here are the key things to know from camp on Friday:
Brandon Nimmo hopes plantar fasciitis is behind him
Nimmo was hampered by plantar fasciitis in his left foot last season, and he is still working his way back to 100 percent.
"I'm at like 91 percent now," Nimmo told reporters. "We're in a really good spot. Good place to be. We're trending upwards, gonna keep stacking good days on good days -- really what you want to do is not push it too hard right now, because it's trending in the right direction. We'll take those steps accordingly, but it's in a really good spot right now."
Nimmo said his foot has felt normal for about three or four weeks, and that the 91 percent figure he gave is exact -- he's wearing a "trackable device" that measures his speed.
The foot injury was a problem for Nimmo at times early last season, but he said it didn't really bother him between May and Game 3 of the NLDS against the Phillies at Citi Field. From that point until the end of the Mets' postseason run in Game 6 of the NLCS against the Dodgers in Los Angeles, it was a serious issue.
