Eduardo Nunez (rib cage) is not in the Yankees' starting lineup on Thursday afternoon against the Rockies.

Nunez hasn't played since Sunday because of discomfort in his rib cage. An MRI taken earlier this week ruled out structural damage. "He feels better all around," manager Joe Girardi told reporters. "He’s able to do some more exercises. But you’re really not going to know, I think, until he swings a bat." The infielder remains day-to-day.

Eduardo Nunez - SS - Yankees

Eduardo Nunez (rib cage) is not expected to be ready to return to the lineup on Thursday.

Nunez hasn't played since leaving Sunday's game with a rib cage injury. He did some light throwing and went through some motions as if taking ground balls Wednesday but still feels "a little tight." Nunez still hasn't tried to swing a bat, and Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he'll have to hit off a tee and take soft tosses from a coach before being cleared to swing all-out.

Eduardo Nunez will undergo an MRI after leaving Sunday's game with tightness in left rib cage.

As if the Yankees needed another injury to deal with. If Nunez needs to go on the disabled list, the Bombers would figure to go with Jayson Nix at shortstop and Chris Nelson at third base. More should be known about Nunez's status later Sunday.

Eduardo Nunez is day-to-day with a right wrist contusion.

Good news for the Bombers. Nunez left Friday's game after he was hit in the wrist with a pitch, but X-rays came back negative for a fracture. He's likely to be re-evaluated Saturday, but it doesn't sound like he'll require a lengthy absence.

Eduardo Nunez left Friday's game against the Orioles after he was hit on the right wrist by a pitch.

Not what the Yankees need. Nunez was hit by the pitch in the bottom of the second inning and stayed in the game initially, but he left after feeling some discomfort on some warm-up throws before the top of the third. Jayson Nix replaced him at shortstop.
