Nunez (hamstring) is back in the lineup Friday against the Braves, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Nunez tweaked his hamstring Wednesday and was scratched from Thursday's lineup, but he will slot back in for the series opener against Atlanta. The 29-year-old will bat second against lefty Jaime Garcia, a spot in the order in which he's logged just five at-bats to this point in the season. Nunez is batting .258/.288/.323 against left-handed pitching after slashing .265/.295/.456 against southpaws in 2016.
