Alex Cora may still be toying with the lineup he will role out for his first Opening Day as manager of the Boston Red Sox. One aspect that seems certain is that it will include Eduardo Nunez.
ESPN’s Scott Lauber reports that Cora has named Nunez as his starting second baseman to open the 2018 season.
Nunez is capable of covering several infield positions. While the Red Sox will look to take advantage of that versatility over the course of the season, it’s no surprise that Nunez will start out covering second.
