• Mets' Eduardo Nunez: Lands on 45-day IL

  09/01/2020 •

  The Mets transferred Nunez (knee) to the 45-day injured list Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports. Nunez hasn't played since July 26 due to a sprained left knee, so his move to the 45-day injured list won't necessarily close the door on him returning to action this season. That said, manager Luis Rojas said Nunez remains without a timeline to return, suggesting that the infielder is still in the week-to-week stage of his recovery rather than day-to-day. If Nunez makes it back from the IL before the season ends, he'll likely be limited to a utility role.

  Nunez (knee) is playing defense and participating in a running program at the Mets' alternate training site, but manager Luis Rojas said his return timeline remains "uncertain," Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports. The 33-year-old appeared in two games during the opening weekend of the season, but he hyperextended his left knee and has been on the injured list for the past month. Nunez should be considered out indefinitely until the team indicates otherwise.

  Nunez is considered day-to-day after hyperextending his left knee in Sunday's loss to the Braves, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Nunez suffered the injury while running out a play at first base late in Sunday's loss, but he'll avoid the injured list for now. He isn't in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets and is officially considered day-to-day as he recovers.

  Nunez may have suffered a hyperextended knee in Sunday's loss to the Braves but will be reassessed Monday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports. After Nunez was removed in the eighth inning of Sunday's game, manager Luis Rojas said that Nunez felt as though he may have hyperextended his knee. However, the 23-year-old is being further evaluated Sunday and Monday, and more clarity on the severity of the injury could come afterward.
