Turns out that Brandon Nimmo didn't give himself food poisoning after all

On Wednesday, Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo was scratched from the team's Spring Training game with one of the most delightfully bizarre Spring Training ailments in recent memory: While trying to prepare himself a nice homemade dinner, he'd eaten some undercooked poultry and given himself food poisoning.

... or so we thought. As it turns out, though, Nimmo's stomach bug didn't have anything to do with poultry -- according to his wife, Chelsea, he just had a virus:

Far be it from us to pick a fight with modern medicine, but we're still going to consider "Brandon Nimmo missed a game because he accidentally ate some raw chicken in his neverending quest for self-improvement" to be Spring Training canon.
