Athletics' Renato Nunez: Out of lineup with back soreness

Nunez is out of the lineup Tuesday with back soreness but may be available off the bench, Joe Stiglich of CSN California reports.

Analysis:

The 22-year-old hasn't played since Saturday, but it sounds like he's available in a pinch Tuesday and has a chance to return to the lineup in the coming days. Nunez has struggled against major league pitching since his Sept. 12 callup, recording two hits (both singles) in 15 at-bats. He managed just a .228 average and .278 OBP during his time with Triple-A Nashville (128 games) and those numbers largely overshadowed his contributions in the power department.
