Nunez Tears Hamstring, Expected to Miss a Month
BRONX- The injury bug has struck the Yankees once again. This time SS Eduardo Nunez will be missing time. He tore his hamstring running the bases in the Yankees in the 2nd inning of a 12-4 blowout loss to the Red Sox. The Yankees had been going for a series sweep after beating the Red Sox 8-4 in the middle game of the series.
This is especially troublesome news for the Yankees, who already have starting SS Derek Jeter on the disabled list with ankle problems. The Front Office could not be reached for comment, but we suspect that the Jayson Nix will be taking Nunez's spot in the everyday lineup unless there is an immediate upgrade available. The Yankees called up OF Brennan Boesch to take Nunez's spot on the 25-Man Roster.
