Taking seat Saturday
Nimmo (hamstring) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.
Analysis
Nimmo was taken out of Friday's game due to a nagging hamstring issue that flared up in the fourth inning. The Rangers will hold him out of action Saturday as a precaution and give Ezequiel Duran a start in right field.

Exits early Friday
Nimmo was removed from Friday's game against the Tigers with right hamstring tightness, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis
Nimmo had gone 2-for-2 with a walk and a pair of runs scored before being lifted for a pinch runner in the fourth inning. The 33-year-old outfielder also left Wednesday's game early due to hamstring tightness, though he's said that it is a common occurrence and easily manageable, per Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com. If the Rangers decide to sit him down Saturday as a precaution, Sam Haggerty would be a top candidate to start in right field.

Good to go Friday
Nimmo (hamstring) is starting in right field and batting leadoff Friday against the Tigers.
Analysis
Nimmo departed Wednesday's contest against the Yankees due to right hamstring tightness, but it was apparently a minor issue given that he's back in the starting nine after Thursday's team off day. The veteran outfielder has enjoyed a strong start to the season, finishing April with four homers, 12 RBI, 14 runs and a .290/.364/.460 slash line in 31 games.

Exits with hamstring injury
Nimmo was removed from Wednesday's game against the Yankees due to right hamstring tightness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. He went 1-for-2 with a walk prior to his exit.
Analysis
After reaching base on an infield single in the fifth inning, Nimmo appeared to tweak his leg while advancing to third base on a fielder's choice later in the frame. The outfielder met briefly with a team trainer before the Rangers summoned Sam Haggerty from the bench to pinch run for him. Nimmo will presumably be sent in for further testing, but even if his tight hamstring isn't significant enough to send him to the injured list, the 33-year-old may not be ready to rejoin the lineup for Friday's series opener in Detroit.
