Monday evening before the New York Yankees took on the Detroit Tigers, it was announced that Miguel Andujar will now be on the injured list along with Giancarlo Stanton and many others.
It was announced after Monday’s 3-1 win over the Tigers that Andujar his a small labrum tear in his shoulder and that he will basically be shut down for two weeks. If no improvement come two weeks, season ending surgery may be an option.
Our best guess would be that DJ LeMahieu would get the majority of the time at third base, with Tyler Wade getting a few starts. The Yankees called up Wade to counter Andujar on the IL.
So far, LeMahieu has played in three games and has gone 4-for-8 from the plate as well as playing stellar defense, but threw a ball away on Saturday.
Tyler Wade had a strong Spring Training for the Yankees, but hasn’t played any Minor League baseball yet, as Scranton begins play on Thursday (4/4).
We will keep you updated when we know more. This is a developing story.
