MIGUEL ANDUJAR NEWS

Sitting first game Sunday Andujar is not starting Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Impact The 26-year-old takes a seat after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout Saturday. Andujar has hit .211 in his last 12 games, with two three-hit performances during that span accounting for most of his offensive production. Newly-acquired Tim Locastro, who unlike Andujar is a proven defender in the outfield, starts Game 1 Sunday and may become the regular left fielder if he can contribute enough offensively.

Launches sixth homer Andujar went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 11-5 win against the Angels.

Impact It was Andujar's first extra-base hit since his previous homer June 9, and it was the first RBI he's collected since June 15. He's taken over the starting job in left field and is hitting .264/.293/.407 with six long balls, 11 RBI, and 18 runs through 41 games.

Raps out three hits Friday Andujar went 3-for-4 in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact After going 3-for-23 over his prior seven starts, Andujar matched that hit total in one night. While the 26-year-old is making consistent contact, it hasn't been very hard contact -- his last extra-base hit came June 9, with his last nine knocks being singles. Even so, Andujar still sports a solid .279/.328/.475 slash line through 18 games in June with four homers, six RBI and 11 runs.

Goes deep in win Andujar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 9-6 victory over the Twins.

Impact Andujar went deep to center field in the fifth inning to stake the Yankees to an 8-1 lead. He added another RBI in the seventh on a sacrifice fly. The 26-year-old has gone deep in back-to-back games and has been on a power tear since May 31, totaling five long balls in eight games. He's also hitting .323 over that span.

JUNE 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Blasts fourth homer Andujar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and three total runs scored Tuesday in a victory over Minnesota.

Impact Andujar played a key role in the Yankees offense in the win, scoring the team's first run in the fifth inning and capping the evening with a 449-foot solo shot in the ninth. The 26-year-old has rediscovered his long-ball stroke of late, going deep four times in his past seven games. Prior to the power surge, Andujar had gone without a homer through his first 18 games covering 62 at-bats.

JUNE 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Homers again Thursday Andujar went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Thursday's 9-2 loss to the Rays.

Impact Andujar has recorded hits in each of his last five contests, and he's also flashed his power potential by hitting his first three home runs of the year across the last four games. The 26-year-old is now hitting .247 with seven runs and five RBI this season.

Goes yard again Andujar went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Rays.

Impact Andujar drew the start in left field with Giancarlo Stanton out of the lineup and Aaron Judge serving as the designated hitter. He went yard in the fourth inning, swatting his second home run of the season and second in as many games. Despite seeing an uptick in playing time of late, Andujar figures to serve as the fourth outfielder and backup corner infielder when the team's regular starters are in the lineup. Through 71 plate appearances this season, Andujar is hitting .239/.239/.338.

JUNE 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Swats first homer Andujar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Rays.

Impact The Yankees only managed five hits in total, and Andujar accounted for the team's only offense in the seventh inning with his first homer of the year. Andujar is hitting a strong .302 (16-for-53) over his last 15 games, but he has only three RBI during that stretch and his 0:14 BB:K suggests he won't be able to keep it up much longer.

Tallies Yankees only two hits Andujar went 1-for-3 in Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Andujar didn't do anything spectacular in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader, but his two singles were the only hits for the Yankees in the game. Toronto prospect Alek Manoah made his MLB debut against the Yankees and Andujar seemed to be the only batter to make solid contact to get on base. Andujar is receiving more playing time with many position players hurt, however his role should be limited once they return. He has a .240 batting average and .500 OPS in 50 plate appearances this season.

MAY 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Getting steady at-bats Andujar will start in left field and bat seventh Sunday against the White Sox.

Impact In the wake of Aaron Hicks (wrist) and Giancarlo Stanton (quadriceps) recently landing on the injured list, Andujar has been one of the main beneficiaries of added playing time. He'll be making his 10th start in 11 games Sunday, including his sixth start in a row in left field. The Yankees will return Clint Frazier (neck) from a five-game absence Sunday, and Stanton could be back within the next few days as well, so Andujar's time as an everyday player may not last much longer. Andujar hasn't helped his case by producing a poor .559 OPS since being summoned from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on May 13.
