As spring training quickly approaches, the New York Yankees told Gio Urshela that he will be, barring injury or a disastrous March, the team’s starting third baseman. Since there is also a logjam an the designated hitter spot, there is no obvious path to playing time for 2018 Rookie of the Year runner-up Miguel Andujar.
The 24-year-old Andujar had a great debut, slashing .297/.328/.527 with a .361 wOBA, a 130 wRC+ and 2.8 fWAR. He hit 27 homers and drove in 92 runs. However, he missed most of 2019 due to a shoulder injury.
