PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. _ When Brandon Nimmo was absent from a Wednesday morning team meeting and didn't take live batting practice as scheduled, something seemed amiss.
More trouble with his sore right shoulder? Nope. Food poisoning. Brought on by a meal cooked by the outfielder himself.
"I guess he cooked some chicken and didn't know how to cook or something," manager Mickey Callaway said with a chuckle. "He was throwing up all night. So we're going to have to teach him how to cook so he doesn't miss any more games."
