Nunez announced his retirement from professional baseball Thursday via his personal Instagram.
EDGE Analysis
Nunez signed with the Fubon Guardians of the Chinese Professional Baseball League in April but played in only seven games this year, and he won't make another attempt to play in 2023. The 35-year-old played in 858 contests across 11 big-league seasons with the Yankees, Twins, Red Sox, Giants and Mets, and he finished with a .276/.310/.404 slash line, 58 home runs, 309 RBI and 142 stolen bases.

Nunez agreed to a contract with the Fubon Guardians of the Chinese Professional Baseball League on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old was unable to land a big-league contract this offseason, so he'll head overseas to continue his professional career. Nunez appeared in only two games for the Mets last season, and he had a .228/.243/.305 slash line in 174 plate appearances with the Red Sox in 2019.

The Mets transferred Nunez (knee) to the 45-day injured list Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.
EDGE Analysis
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 (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nunez originally hurt his left knee while running out a play at first base over the weekend, and he was sent to the shelf after showing little improvement over the past few days. Brian Dozier was summoned from the team's satellite camp to take Nunez's place on the roster.

Nunez is considered day-to-day after hyperextending his left knee in Sunday's loss to the Braves, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Nunez was removed from Sunday's game against the Braves after suffering an injury while running the bases, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nunez beat out a throw to first base late in Sunday's blowout game and was hobbled afterward with an apparent left leg injury. He was able to exit the field under his own power, but the severity of the injury is unclear.

Nunez will be included on the Mets' Opening Day roster, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran infielder was in camp as a non-roster invitee, and he was able to show enough in spring and summer training to justify being added to the 40-man roster. Nunez had the worst season of his career in Boston last year with a .228/.243/.305 slash line in 174 plate appearances.

Nunez has been added to the Mets' 60-man player pool, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran utility player had been competing for a roster spot back in spring training. Nunez is coming off a couple of injury-plagued seasons, but his .801 OPS and 24 steals in 114 games back in 2017 suggest he might still have something left in the tank if he can stay healthy and get an opportunity.
