Game 82: Yankees @ Mets: Nunez Out With a Tight Hamstring

(UPDATE 12:37 PM) Ivan Nova has been optioned back to Triple-A to make room for Pendleton on the roster. Pendleton will hold that roster spot down until Phil Hughes returns this week.

Eduardo Nunez won't be in today's lineup due to a sore hamstring.... Lance Pendleton is also in the clubhouse, but there have been no reports of any corresponding moves yet.... Rain is expected to continue until at least 2:30 PM, so I assume we'll be dealing with some sort of delay before first pitch.
