The hot corner for the New York Yankees was a question mark going into the 2019 season. Youth star Miguel Andujar was dealing with a supposed shoulder injury, but he was expected to play through it. Several games in, the Yanks elected to shut him down for the year due to a partially torn labrum.
Miguel’s departure to the IL gave a career-average player a chance to become the starting third baseman for the Bronx bombers. In comes Gio Urshela, who had previously played for Toronto Blue Jays and sported a .233 batting average over 43 at-bats.
