A fuel nozzle assembly includes a center body having a pilot air passage and a pilot fuel passage defined therein. A pilot nozzle having a plurality of premix passages is disposed within a downstream end portion of the center body. Each premix passage includes an inlet that is in fluid communication with the pilot air passage, an outlet that is positioned axially downstream from the inlet and a fuel port that is in fluid communication with the pilot fuel passage. An outer sleeve is coaxially aligned with and radially spaced from the center body so as to define an annular passage therebetween. A strut extends radially outwardly from the center body to the outer sleeve. The fuel nozzle assembly further includes an inlet passage that is in fluid communication with the pilot air passage. The inlet passage extends through the outer sleeve, the strut and the center body.

1. A fuel nozzle assembly, comprising: a center body that extends axially along a centerline of the fuel nozzle assembly, the center body defining a pilot air passage and a pilot fuel passage defined therein, at least a portion of the pilot fuel passage being defined between an inner tube and an intermediate tube;a pilot nozzle disposed within a downstream end portion of the center body, an outer wall of the pilot nozzle being slideably engaged with an inner surface of the center body to allow axial thermal growth or contraction between the pilot nozzle and the center body, the pilot nozzle having a plurality of premix passages, each premix passage having an inlet in fluid communication with the pilot air passage, an outlet downstream from the inlet, and a fuel port in fluid communication with the pilot fuel passage, wherein a downstream end of the inner tube is sealed to an inner surface of a downstream portion of the pilot nozzle;an outer sleeve coaxially aligned with and radially spaced from the center body so as to define an annular passage therebetween;a strut that extends radially outwardly from the center body to the outer sleeve; andan inlet passage in fluid communication with the pilot air passage, wherein the inlet passage extends through the outer sleeve, the strut and the center body. 2. The fuel nozzle assembly as in claim 1, wherein the strut is a swirler vane. 3. The fuel nozzle as in claim 1, wherein the plurality of premix passages is annularly arranged about an axial centerline of the fuel nozzle assembly between an inner wall and the outer wall of the pilot nozzle. 4. The fuel nozzle assembly as in claim 3, wherein a downstream end of the intermediate tube is sealed to an upstream portion of the pilot nozzle radially inward from the inlets of the premix passages. 5. The fuel nozzle assembly as in claim 1, wherein the pilot air passage is defined between the intermediate tube that extends coaxially within the center body and the inner surface of the center body. 6. The fuel nozzle assembly as in claim 1, wherein the inner tube and the intermediate tube extend coaxially within the center body. 7. The fuel nozzle assembly as in claim 1, wherein a portion of the fuel passage is at least partially defined between an outer surface of the inner tube and an inner wall of the pilot nozzle. 8. A combustor for a gas turbine, the combustor comprising: an end cover coupled to an outer casing, wherein the end cover and the outer casing form a head end portion of the combustor, wherein the head end portion is in fluid communication with a compressor of the gas turbine; anda fuel nozzle assembly connected to the end cover and extending axially within the head end portion of the combustor, the fuel nozzle assembly comprising: a center body that extends axially along a centerline of the fuel nozzle assembly, the center body defining a pilot air passage and a pilot fuel passage defined therein, at least a portion of the pilot fuel passage being defined between an inner tube and an intermediate tube;a pilot nozzle disposed within a downstream end portion of the center body, an outer wall of the pilot nozzle being slideably engaged with an inner surface of the center body to allow axial thermal growth or contraction between the pilot nozzle and the center body, the pilot nozzle having a plurality of premix passages, each premix passage having an inlet in fluid communication with the pilot air passage, an outlet downstream from the inlet and a fuel port in fluid communication with the pilot fuel passage, wherein a downstream end of the inner tube is sealed to an inner surface of a downstream portion of the pilot nozzle;an outer sleeve coaxially aligned with and radially spaced from the center body so as to define an annular passage therebetween;a strut that extends radially outwardly from the center body to the outer sleeve; andan inlet passage in fluid communication with the pilot air passage and the head end portion of the combustor, wherein the inlet passage extends through the outer sleeve, the strut and the center body. 9. The combustor as in claim 8, wherein the strut is a swirler vane. 10. The combustor as in claim 8, wherein the plurality of premix passages is annularly arranged about an axial centerline of the fuel nozzle assembly between an inner wall and the outer wall of the pilot nozzle. 11. The combustor as in claim 8, wherein the pilot air passage is defined between the intermediate tube that extends coaxially within the center body and the inner surface of the center body. 12. The combustor as in claim 11, wherein a downstream end of the intermediate tube is sealed to an upstream portion of the pilot nozzle radially inward from the inlets of the premix passages. 13. The combustor as in claim 8, wherein the inner tube and the intermediate tube extend coaxially within the center body. 14. The combustor as in claim 8, wherein a portion of the fuel passage is at least partially defined between an outer surface of the inner tube and an inner wall of the pilot nozzle.
