Yankees' Eduardo Nunez injury: MRI on rib cage negative

The injury happened Sunday, but the severity was not determined until Monday afternoon.  Eduardo Nunez left Sunday's game with an apparent rib cage injury.  The New York Yankees' infielder has found himself playing a valuable role with Derek Jeter sidelined until after the All-Star break, so the team can ill-afford to lose him for an extended period of time.

Eduardo Nunez can’t play defense at the major league level

The Yankees like Eduardo Nunez that much is clear, he’s a middle infielder with a lot of speed, athleticism, and a bit of pop in his bat, and they try to play him as often as possible. On a team with no holes in the lineup, this bench player has managed to find himself in 20 of the team’s first 31 games. The problem is that he can’t play defense. At all. He’s consistently...

He surprised Yankees fans across the board with his ability with the bat.  Unlike utility players in the past (Enrique Wilson, Ramiro Pena, etc.), Nunez was a non-zero hitter. Over 112 games and 338 at...
