KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- After a week of inactivity due to soreness in the left side of his rib cage, shortstop Eduardo Nunez was placed on the 15-day disabled list by the New York Yankees on Sunday morning.

Alberto Gonzalez was called up from Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes Barre.

To clear space for Gonzalez, who was acquired last week in a trade with the Chicago Cubs, on the 40-man roster, the Yankees transferred Mark Teixeira (wrist) to the 60-day DL.
