You can add Tzu-Wei Lin to the list of banged-up Boston Red Sox infielders.
However, you also can subtract Eduardo Nunez from that same list.
The Red Sox on Saturday placed Lin on the 10-day injured list with a knee sprain. Lin exited Friday’s game against the Chicago White Sox — a 6-1 Red Sox victory — after tweaking his knee on an awkward slide into second base.
In a corresponding move, the Red Sox reinstated Nunez, who had been rehabbing multiple ailments in Triple-A Pawtucket.

Lin will join fellow infielders Dustin Pedroia and Brock Holt on the injured list.
Pedroia is rehabbing his ailing knee in Double-A Portland, while Holt recently was “shut down” with a shoulder impingement.
