After waking up confused inside a hotel bathroom early Monday morning, outfielder Brandon Nimmo sat out the New York Mets' game at Nationals Park later that evening.

Nimmo fainted in the room and hit his head as he fell to the floor. 

First-year Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Nimmo cut his forehead but confirmed the outfielder avoided a concussion.

"He went through all the tests this morning," Mendoza said. "Wanted to make sure we weren’t missing anything. Luckily, everything came back negative. So, I think we got lucky there."
