Eduardo Nunez said Sunday he was expecting a doctor to take a look at his bruised right hand.

Nunez, who hasn’t played in a week since getting hit by a pitch against the Phillies, said he felt discomfort on a day when he didn’t swing a bat.

The plan, according to manager Joe Girardi, was for Nunez to rest the hand Sunday and Monday and possibly return Tuesday against the Red Sox.

“If it lingers more than that I will be somewhat concerned,” Girardi said.

While Nunez isn’t a regular, he is an integral part of the roster since he can play shortstop, third and second. And he got a small taste of the outfield last year.

With Girardi planning to watch Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter carefully to make sure they don’t wear down, Nunez will fill in for them when they DH or are rested.
