Miguel Andújar Stats

The New York Yankees optioned infielder Miguel Andujar and right-hander Clarke Schmidt to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday to get the team down to a 26-man roster for Monday. Andujar went 2-for-4 with a run scored in the win over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday, while Schmidt earned the win after throwing a scoreless sixth inning. Schmidt will likely be stretched out in the minors, while Andujar will continue to provide versatile infield depth if he's recalled by the Yankees at any point. Andujar has played in just two games for the Yankees this year and is 2-for-5 with a run scored. Schmidt has allowed just one earned run while walking four and striking out eight in 8 1/3 relief innings over four appearances.

New York Yankees outfielder/infielder Miguel Andujar was assaulted and robbed at gunpoint at his farm in the Dominican Republic on Wednesday, according to multiple reports. The 27-year-old is no longer in danger, but he had an expensive watch stolen from him while bullets were fired. Andujar was not shot and is expected to report to Yankees camp on Sunday. Andujar took over as the team's starting third baseman in 2018 and finished second in the American League Rookie of the Year voting after hitting .297 with 27 home runs, 92 RBI and an .855 OPS in 149 games. Since that big year, though, he's played in just 78 games in the last three seasons and has hit .228 with seven home runs and 18 RBI in that span, mainly due to injuries.

New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Miguel Andujar (wrist) is not guaranteed to make a return in 2021, Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Sunday. Andujar is currently rehabbing from a strained left wrist but suffered a setback and was transferred to the 60-day IL on Monday. Andujar doesn't have much fantasy value, slashing .253/.284/.383 with six home runs in 45 games this year. His past few campaigns have been disappointing compared to his rookie 2018 season when he posted a .855 OPS, and there isn't much to suggest that he will ever get to that point again.
