He has an American League-leading 27 stolen bases in 33 attempts and was named an All-Star for the first time. Light Streaking Across Sky Was Chinese Rocket's Re-entry Nunez has started 84 games this season, 48 at shortstop, 28 at third, four at second base and four at DH. He provides depth for a team that just got Joe Panik back on Thursday night and will be without Matt Duffy for at least another week.Nunez was originally signed by the Yankees in 2004 and spent parts of four seasons in New York before playing the last three with the Twins.
