SEATTLE — Miguel Andujar will get one other probability. The former starter who has been caught in Triple-A the final two seasons was recalled earlier than Tuesday night time’s recreation towards the Mariners. He will substitute Matt Carpenter, who fractured his left foot, on the 26-man roster.
Andujar, who was the runner-up to Shohei Ohtani within the American League Rookie of the Year voting in 2018, has been hitting .293/.337/.498 with 12 house runs with Scranton. In 14 video games with the Yankees this season, Andujar hit .245/.269/.286 with two doubles and 4 RBI in 52 plate appearances this season.
Andujar was the odd man out after struggling a season-ending shoulder damage within the first week of the 2019 season. The third baseman misplaced his job to Gio Urshela that season and the Bombers have been looking for the proper match for him since he got here again wholesome in 2020. He has all the time been shaky defensively at third base. Andujar dedicated 15 errors on the scorching nook in 2018 and had a cringe-worthy -25 defensive runs saved. That was the fourth most by a 3rd baseman within the majors that season.
So, the Bombers moved him to the outfield, the place he has performed 41 video games this season at Triple-A. He has performed 19 at third base.
But it was all the time his bat that the Yankees preferred. He slashed .297/.328/.527 with 27 house runs and 47 doubles in 606 at-bats in 2018. But inconsistent play has affected Andujar’s manufacturing within the large leagues since, and his frustration has been apparent. He has requested the Yankees for the commerce, however they’ve held onto him for conditions like this. He is underneath crew management via 2025.
