Injuries can be the turning point for any given player, and for Yankees‘ Miguel Andujar, it could be the determining factor behind trading him for assets. The young third baseman tore his Labrum last season, virtually missing the entire campaign, hurting his chances of earning a starting job.
Manager Aaron Boone did give us an update on his progress:
“[Andujar] is doing really well,’’ Boone said Friday at Yankee Stadium. “I expect him to be ready to go for spring training.’’
The emergence of Gio Urshela, who posted a .314 batting average in 2019, has put Andujar in the passenger seat, relegating him to a reserve option or designated hitter role.
