The Yankees made it clear during Spring Training they were not comfortable going into the 2018 season with rookies at second and third bases. They traded for Brandon Drury and signed Neil Walker, pushing Miguel Andujar and Gleyber Torres to Triple-A. And now, less than four weeks into the regular season, Andujar is the starting third baseman and Torres is the starting second baseman. Go figure.
Injuries and poor performance have pushed Andujar and Torres into starting duty, and while Gleyber’s big league career is only two games old, Andujar has made a real impact over the last ten days or so.
