Impact Andujar hasn't gotten into a game since March 10 as he battles a strained right hand. It looks as though he's running out of time to get up to speed by Opening Day and will likely open the year on the injured list.

Not close to game action Andujar (hand) isn't expected to get into game action any time soon, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
Makes progress in recovery Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Andujar (hand) was able to take part in some fielding drills Wednesday, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Andujar is not yet ready to rejoin the Yankees' spring lineup, but he's beginning to show some improvement in his condition after being diagnosed Monday with a muscle strain in his right hand. The injury likely takes Andujar out of the running for a spot on the Yankees' Opening Day roster, but he never appeared likely to break camp with the big club.

Dealing with muscle strain Andujar is dealing with a muscle strain in his hand and a bit of a nerve issue, according to manager Aaron Boone, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact He will continue with treatment, but it sounds like this may result in a stint on the injured list to start the season. Andujar is hitting .133 with one strikeout and zero extra-base hits in 15 at-bats this spring.

Visit with hand specialist on tap Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Andujar will visit a specialist Monday after recently experiencing soreness in his right hand/wrist, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
Impact Andujar previously experienced pain the same wrist while playing in the Dominican Winter League during the offseason, so the setback is fairly worrisome. The 25-year-old was already facing an uphill battle to make the Yankees' Opening Day roster, and his renewed hand soreness could be the death knell for his chances of breaking camp with the big club.

Will play outfield this week Andujar is slated to see time in the outfield Wednesday, Max Goodman of Sports Illustrated reports.
Impact Andujar has been working in the outfield during spring training, but he has yet to see time there during exhibition play. The 26-year-old is competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster, though his lack of a clear role could hamper his chances of breaking camp with the club.

Impact Manager Aaron Boone specified third base, first base and the outfield as positions Andujar will field during the spring, but there's no guarantee he'll make the Opening Day roster after spending much of last season at the team's alternate training site. Per Boone, Andujar's role could depend on opportunities that arise during the season, so it may take an injury for the 25-year-old to see his next big-league opportunity.

Heads to alternate camp The Yankees optioned Andujar to their alternate training site Thursday.
Impact Had the regular season started in late March, Andujar would have had multiple pathways to a regular lineup spot. After baseball's four-plus-month hiatus, however, the 25-year-old is blocked from an everyday role now that the likes of Aaron Hicks, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton are all healthy again. Andujar only appeared in five of the Yankees' 11 games to date, going 1-for-14 at the dish.
