SAN FRANCISCO -- Eduardo Nunez was held out of the Giants lineup Monday and was being examined for a possible concussion after getting hit in the head while sliding into home plate a day earlier.
Nunez was injured while scoring on a passed ball in the first inning of Sunday's 7-1 win over the Atlanta Braves but remained in the game to deliver an RBI single in the second inning despite having some blurry vision.
When Nunez showed up at AT&T Park for the Memorial Day game against the Washington Nationals, he was still feeling lingering effects from the play, so the decision was made to hold him out.
