Jace Peterson will replace Nunez at the hot corner and bat eighth versus Astros right-hander Gerrit Cole in Thursday's series opener. Nunez went a combined 2-for-7 with a home run, 4 RBI, and 1 run scored in Wednesday's doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox.
Nunez is averaging 7.4 FanDuel points in 69 games this season, while slashing .258/.316/.422 with 8 home runs, 21 RBI, and 25 runs scored across 247 plate appearances.
