The New York Yankees have had enough bad news, especially coming off an abysmal 1-6 West Coast swing, but more would come as their top prospect, Gleyber Torres, was diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament. With that, the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders saw a roster shake-up.
Firstly, to replace Torres at the hot corner, third base prospect Miguel Andujar was called up from Double-A Trenton. New York’s ninth-best prospect was slashing .312/.342/.494 with seven homers and 52 RBIs in 67 games for the Thunder. Since he is on the 40-man and projected to have a fine Major League career, it will be interesting to see how the 22-year-old adjusts to the new level.
