Eduardo

Nunez

Núñez did so Thursday on his personal Instagram page. The versatile 35-year-old appeared in 858 major league games for five different teams while posting a .276/.310/.404 lifetime batting line with 776 hits, 58 home runs, and 142 stolen bases. He was a one-time All-Star in 2016 with the Twins and won a World Series ring with the Red Sox in 2018.

Holt gives Eduardo Nunez a night off. Recently activated from the disabled list, the versatile left-handed hitter is slashing .328/.379/.508 with a homer and seven RBI over 20 games in 2018.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster and essentially ends his season. Nunez made the Mets’ Opening Day roster, but only appeared in two games before injuring his left knee.

Nunez suffered the injury on Sunday when he landed awkwardly after beating out an infield single. It was originally diagnosed as a hyperextended left knee. There’s no timetable for his return.

Nunez suffered the injury Sunday while lunging for first base on an infield single in the eighth inning. He has not been placed on the injured list and is considered day-to-day for now.

Nunez suffered the injury while legging out an infield single in the eighth inning of Sunday night’s loss to the Braves. He’ll be reevaluated Monday and it’s unclear at this point whether he’ll need an injured list stint. The veteran utility infielder signed a minor league contract with New York in January after a rough 2019.

Nunez lunged for the first base bag while legging out an infield single in the bottom of the eighth and landed awkwardly. It looked serious at first, but Nunez eventually climbed to his feet and walked back to the dugout under his own power. There should be more information after the game.

The veteran had a solid showing during spring training and summer camp to wedge his way onto the roster. Nunez will operate in a super utility role.

Nunez will serve as a backup infielder. DiComo also notes that Erasmo Ramirez will be on the Mets’ taxi squad rather than their 30-man roster.

Though he hasn’t hit much the last two years, Nunez would seem to have a good chance of making the Mets with Jed Lowrie apparently IL bound. He still has some fantasy upside because of his stolen base ability, but he isn’t due to get that kind of playing time in New York.
