With 11 days to go until opening day in Toronto, the Yankees made the difficult decision to send Miguel Andujar to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
The 23-year-old Andujar exploded out of the gate this spring but eventually came back down to Earth, putting together a .262/.273/.643 slash line with four home runs and 10 RBI in 42 at-bats (14 games).
The move allows Andy time to continue refining his much-improved defense (no errors this spring) while keeping his bat ready should something happen to likely big league starting third baseman, Brandon Drury.

As opposing teams began to figure out the third baseman with the electric bat, they started pitching Andujar inside on the hands, which kept him from extending his powerful arms and truly driving the ball.
