The sight of Miguel Andujar in the Yankees’ clubhouse Wednesday was enough to brighten manager Aaron Boone’s entire day.
But word that the 24-year-old will begin playing catch Monday, made the team’s future dilemma of having to figure out how to integrate Andujar back into the lineup all the more real for the future.
It has been nearly four months since the third baseman has taken the field for the Yankees, as he has worked his way back from a partial glenoid labrum tear in his right shoulder that required season-ending surgery in May.
But Andujar said he isn’t worrying about his future with the franchise.
