A tough spring training for Miguel Andújar just became even more difficult. The former Rookie of the Year runner-up has not played since Wednesday due to a sore right hand and wrist, and prior to Sunday afternoon’s contest against the Blue Jays, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Andújar will see a specialist on Monday. He has been shut down for the time being.
Andújar said that he first felt the pain while trying to get his swing back into form during a stint in the Dominican Winter League (LIDOM). Clinging to the fringes of Opening Day roster contention, the 26-year-old attempted to play through it, but at just 2-for-15 through six exhibition games, it wasn’t surprising to see that something was wrong with him.
