NEW YORK -- This series at Yankee Stadium marks Eduardo Nunez's third time returning to the Bronx since he was traded to the Twins by New York after losing a battle for the final roster spot to Yangervis Solarte in 2014.
But for the first time, the former utility infielder for the Yankees is appearing as an everyday player with an All-Star case. Nunez is in the midst of a breakout 2016 campaign in which he is second among American League shortstops with a .315 average and third in the league with 17 stolen bases.
