Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said third baseman Eduardo Nunez was taken out of Wednesday night's 10-1 loss to the New York Yankees for precautionary reasons after feeling some discomfort in his right knee.
Nunez reached on an infield single hit to reliever Justus Sheffield in the ninth inning, just beating out a close throw to first base. Nunez hit the bag hard trying to beat the throw. Moments later, he came out of the game.
"He felt it a little bit when he was running to first," Cora told reporters, according to Masslive.
