MLB Note - Boston Red Sox Nunez, Eduardo

Sep 21, 2017 - 9:27 AM INF/OF Eduardo Nunez is still dealing with a sprained PCL in his right knee. The team hopes he might be available to pinch-hit against the Reds this weekend. "Today was another step forward in terms of BP on the field," manager John Farrell said. "More intensity and more repetition on ground-ball work. He did do some running, but not baserunning. While hitting and fielding portion has improved, we find that the running portion is going to take longer than we first anticipated." Nunez is batting .319 with eight homers and 27 RBIs over 37 games for Boston.
