BOSTON -- Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez was removed from Monday night's game against Toronto after he aggravated a right knee injury that caused him to miss the previous 13 games.
Nunez, who sparked Boston's lineup after he was acquired in a trade with San Francisco in late July, doubled in his first at-bat of the game and scored a run.
During his second trip to the plate, he fouled a ball into the seats and dropped to the ground in pain. After talking to a trainer and manager John Farrell, he finished the at-bat with a liner to third, but barely got out of the box and had trouble putting weight on the knee.
