Rehab assignment continuing Andujar (knee) is slated to remain at Triple-A Las Vegas for several more rehab games, per the Associated Press, and he went 0-for-4 with a walk in the Aviators' loss to Tacoma on...

Impact Andujar put in a full game's worth of plate appearances at designated hitter, and he's apparently set to spend at least a few more days with Las Vegas before activation is considered. The veteran has played four games with the Aviators so far, hitting .357 (5-for-14) with three doubles, five RBI, Wednesday's walk and a run. However, he's only played defense in one of those contests, logging six innings in left field against El Paso on Saturday.

Beginning assignment Thursday Andujar (knee) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Andujar has been going through workouts with the Aviators over the past few days, and he is now scheduled to get back into game action soon. The A's haven't indicated how long they intend on keeping the 29-year-old in the minors, but he will likely need to see a good amount of at-bats after spending the past two months recovering from knee surgery.

Progressing through running program Andujar (knee) is expected to run the bases Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact This is another step in the right direction for Andujar, who was cleared to begin a running program April 23. If he's able to work out Saturday without issue, he'll likely be sent out on a rehab assignment in the near future.

Moves to 10-day IL The Athletics placed Andujar (knee) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Andujar is expected to miss at least the first month of the season while he recovers from right knee lateral meniscus surgery, a procedure that entails a 4-to-6-week recovery. Once healthy, Andujar could serve as a short-side platoon player for Oakland at first base, designated hitter or the corner outfield.

Hitless in return to action Andujar (calf) slotted into the designated hitter role in a Cactus League loss to the Brewers on Saturday and went 0-for-4.

Impact Andujar's return after a one-game absence featured a rare quiet day at the plate for him this spring, but conventional wisdom indicates the veteran is in excellent position to secure a reserve outfield role on the Opening Day roster. Martin Gallegos of MLB.com confirms as much in his latest projection of who'll break camp with the Athletics, with Andujar's .361/.378/.722 slash line in Cactus League play making quite the case for his inclusion.

Knocks in three runs Thursday Andujar went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a stolen base Thursday in an 8-6 victory versus the Cubs.

Impact Andujar made the most of his first start in four days, driving in each of Pittsburgh's first three runs. He finished with three hits for the second time in his past seven games. Andujar has been a big contributor for the Pirates since being called up Sept. 1, slashing .368/.400/.632 with two homers, four doubles, 10 RBI, seven runs and two thefts over 12 contests during that span.

On bench again Wednesday Andujar is out of the lineup again Wednesday versus the Cubs.

Impact Andujar has contributed some big hits since joining the Pirates as a Sept. 1 call-up, but the 28-year-old former Yankees prospect continues to be used as only a part-time player. Henry Davis will fill the DH role Wednesday as Bryan Reynolds, Jack Suwinski and Josh Palacios start across the outfield.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to bench Tuesday Andujar is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Cubs.

Impact Andujar boasts a .333/.371/.606 batting line in 35 plate appearances since being called up Sept. 1 from Triple-A Indianapolis, but he has started only two of the Pirates' last six games. Josh Palacios will fill the DH role Tuesday as Bryan Reynolds, Jack Suwinski and Henry Davis canvass the outfield.

Delivers three hits in win Andujar went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over Atlanta.

Impact Andujar has gone 7-for-19 (.368) over six games since he was called up Sept. 1. He's now batting .240 over 52 plate appearances this season while tallying three home runs, 11 RBI, five runs scored and three doubles. He may not have an everyday role, but he should frequently be in the lineup versus left-handers.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hits first homer since call-up Andujar went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 6-4 loss against St. Louis.

Impact Andujar made his second consecutive start since being called up from Triple-A Indianapolis and delivered with two hits, including a solo shot in the second. Following a 2018 campaign in New York that saw him hit 27 homers, the former top Yankee farmhand has bounced between the majors and minors over much of the past five years with both the Yankees and Pirates. The 28-year-old hit .338 with 16 homers over 103 games for Indianapolis and will look to use the final few weeks of the season as a springboard towards a future permanent big-league role.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Contract selected The Pirates selected Andujar's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Andujar was taken off the Pirates' 40-man roster back in May but has made his way back on by putting up a .941 OPS with 16 home runs in 103 games this season with Indianapolis. The 28-year-old will back up at the corner infield and outfield spots.

Returns to bench Andujar is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

Impact After starting each of the Pirates' past three games in right field, Andujar will head to the bench while Andrew McCutchen (ankle) makes his return to the lineup. Andujar went just 1-for-12 with a double during his three-game run as a starter and should see sporadic playing time moving forward.

Goes deep twice after call-up Andujar went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a walk and six total RBI across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against Washington.

Impact Andujar was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis Saturday morning and started the first game of the twin bill in right field while batting sixth. He plated the Pirates' first run with a single in the second inning, then broke a 2-2 tie with a two-run shot in the sixth. In Game 2, Andujar came off the bench in the seventh frame and belted a three-run homer in the ninth. He's had limited big-league success since smacking 27 homers and batting .297 for the Yankees in 2018, but Andujar may have earned some additional time on Pittsburgh's big-league roster with his big day Saturday.
