New York Yankees: Why Miguel Andujar Needed to have Surgery

The fact of the matter is, the New York Yankees rushed back third baseman Miguel Andujar after he suffered a small labrum tear in his right shoulder sliding into third base.

Andujar returned from the injury and went 3-for-32 at the plate, not only showing that he was still affected by the injury, but that he likely should have gotten surgery immediately.

Doctors and specialists have stated that he doesn’t need to endure surgery to heal the small tear, but at this point, it is the right move given his lack of efficiency at the plate and defensively.
