6 years agoBoston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez (back) is expected to be activated on Saturday prior to the game against the White Sox. In a corresponding move, the Red Sox are expected to send Tzu-Wei Lin to the injured list with a knee injury. Lin has not been fantasy relevant, however, Nunez’s presence on the roster brings questions to what role he’ll play. With Michael Chavis tearing the cover off of the ball (he hit another home run Friday night), there’s no guarantee that the Red Sox will sit him in favor of Nunez. Nunez has hit .159/.178/.182 in his first 17 games and his defense certainly won’t keep him on the field. Monitor the situation but give the edge to Chavis as the everyday second baseman going forward.--Zach Alexander
