MIGUEL ANDUJAR NEWS

Moves to 60-day IL The Athletics transferred Andujar (abdomen) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Impact Andujar has already been ruled out for the rest of the season, as his core-muscle injury will require surgery, so his move to the 60-day IL is simply procedural. His 40-man roster spot will be given to Janson Junk, who was claimed off waivers from Houston on Saturday.

Ruled out for rest of season Manager Mark Kotsay said Wednesday that Andujar will miss the rest of the season as a result of his core-muscle injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Andujar landed on the injured list earlier Wednesday, though he will need to undergo surgery to address the issue and won't make it back before the end of the year. The 29-year-old outfielder will close the book on 2024 with a .285 average and .697 OPS alongside four home runs and 30 RBI over 75 games. Daz Cameron, who has started in left field in both of Oakland's last two games, figures to take over as Andujar's primary replacement going forward.

Shelved with core-muscle injury The Athletics placed Andujar on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a core-muscle injury.

Impact Andujar wasn't known to be dealing with an injury, but the core-muscle issue helps explain why he was mysteriously excluded from the lineup the last two games against a pair of right-handed starting pitchers. His placement on the IL is retroactive to Sunday, so Andujar will be eligible for activation beginning Sept. 4. Daz Cameron started in left field the past two games and should serve as the primary replacement while Andujar is on the shelf.

On bench again Tuesday Andujar is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Impact It's the second straight game on the bench for Andujar, who's served as Oakland's primary left fielder since late May. He's hitting .270 through 19 games in August but has just three extra-base hits and a .649 OPS. Daz Cameron will start in left field Tuesday against Cincinnati righty Jakob Junis.

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

Out of Sunday's lineup Andujar is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Andujar started the last 13 games but will sit Sunday after he posted a .273/.333/.318 slash line during that stretch. Daz Cameron will start in left field and bat sixth in the series finale versus Milwaukee.

Two hits in Thursday's win Andujar went 2-for-4 in a win over the Rays on Thursday.

Impact Andujar's pair of knocks were only singles, but Thursday's performance marked his third multi-hit tally in the last eight games. The veteran has been one of the steadiest bats in the Athletics' lineup all season, albeit with very modest pop, as he sports a .286 average and .703 OPS across 73 games.

Productive at plate in loss Andujar went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run in a loss to the Mets on Wednesday.

Impact Andujar provided the only extra-base hit of the game for the Athletics while also crossing the plate with Oakland's sole run. The veteran's bat has reignited since just before the calendar flipped to August, as he's now sporting a .317 average and .768 OPS across his last 11 games, albeit with just two extra-base hits overall in that span.

Hitting bench for series finale Andujar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact For the first time since July 13, Andujar will head to the bench as Daz Cameron picks up a start in left field. Andujar had started and occupied the No. 2 spot in the batting order in each of the Athletics' previous 21 games, slashing .282/.322/.376 with one home run, one stolen base, seven RBI and six runs over that stretch.

Logs third steal Andujar went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Andujar has gone 9-for-20 (.450) over his last five contests while seeing a starting role in left field. His steal Sunday was just his third theft on five attempts -- the outfielder's career high in stolen bases is four from the 2022 campaign, so speed is not a big part of his game. He's been good from a contact standpoint this year, slashing .300/.327/.408 with four home runs, 28 RBI, 27 runs scored, 12 doubles and a triple over 59 contests, but he offers little in power or speed while regularly batting second in a weak lineup.

AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE

Three hits in Friday's win Andujar went 3-for-4 with a triple, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 6-5 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Andujar put the Athletics ahead with an RBI triple in the fifth inning and scored on JJ Bleday's double. Since the All-Star break, Andujar has gone 19-for-54 (.351) with seven RBI over 13 contests. The outfielder is up to a .297/.325/.409 slash line with four home runs, 28 RBI, 27 runs scored and two stolen bases over 57 games this year. His triple Friday was his first since 2022.

AUGUST 3 • ROTOWIRE

Another three-hit effort Sunday Andujar went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Angels.

Impact Andujar took Carson Fulmer deep in the fifth inning to put the Athletics back in front and subsequently ended Fulmer's day on the mound. He also singled twice and finished the weekend going 8-for-13 with three RBI and three runs scored while also not striking out at all. Andujar has showcased some resurgent numbers at the dish this year, slashing .304/.327/.419 with four homers, 24 RBI, 24 runs and a 7:30 BB:K in 199 plate appearances.

Rips three more hits Saturday Andujar went 3-for-4 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the Angels on Saturday.

Impact Andujar put the bow on another impressive offensive performance by the Athletics with his seventh-inning single, which plated Max Schuemann with the final run of the game. Andujar has become an RBI machine of late, now having knocked in nine runs over the last 12 games while hitting a stellar .462 with men in scoring position over that span.

JULY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Starts second half strong Andujar went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a run in a win over the Angels on Friday.

Impact The Athletics picked up right where they left off before the All-Star break in terms of their blistering bats, and Andujar provided one of the team's four multi-hit efforts in the lopsided victory. The veteran contributed to the 13-run barrage with his sixth-inning double that plated Lawrence Butler, giving him eight RBI over his last 11 games alone.

JULY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Resting Saturday Andujar isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Records second steal in win Andujar went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and a run in a win over the Red Sox on Wednesday.

Impact Andujar hit safely for the sixth time in the last seven games Wednesday and made good use of his one time on the basepaths. The veteran worked himself into scoring position after his third-inning single by recording his second stolen base of the season, and he eventually came home on Lawrence Butler's double. Andujar went hitless in his first game of the month back on July 2, but he's gone on to post a .300 average and .789 OPS across the 31 plate appearances he's logged in the subsequent seven games.

JULY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Breakout performance in win Andujar went 3-for-4 with an RBI single, a two-run double, a walk and a run in a win over the Orioles on Saturday.

Impact Andujar didn't join several of his teammates in the Athletics' long-ball barrage, but he did plenty of damage with his pair of knocks. The hot-hitting veteran's trio of RBI came when Oakland already owned a commanding lead, as his fourth-inning single drove home Brett Harris to extend the lead to 14-1, and he tacked on two more runs to the advantage with his sixth-inning double. The multi-hit effort, Andujar's first since June 26, pushed his average back over the .300 mark (.304), and he's now driven in five runs over the last three games following a 12-game RBI drought.

JULY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Belts third homer Friday Andujar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Orioles on Friday.

Impact Andujar had last left the yard way back on June 1, but he ended a 28-game power drought with a 402-foot shot in the first to quickly erase a 1-0 deficit. The veteran has now hit safely in three straight games, and Friday's homer coaxed his slugging percentage back over the .400 mark (.403).
