HOUSTON — Boston Red Sox designated hitter Eduardo Nunez has been carried off the field in the first inning of Thursday’s American League Division Series game against the Houston Astros with a right knee injury.
Nunez, who was traded to Boston by San Francisco on July 26 for a pair of prospects, pulled up running to first base on a groundout in the first inning before falling to the ground. He writhed in pain as manager John Farrell and trainers ran to his aid.
He remained on the ground for a couple of minutes before trying to walk off the field with their help.
