Miguel Andujar Fantasy Stats

San Diego Padres outfielder Miguel Andujar is serving as the designated hitter and will bat fifth for the Padres on Opening Day on Thursday against the visiting Detroit Tigers and left-hander Tarik Skubal, according to MLB.com. Fantasy managers setting DFS lineups will want to avoid Andujar against the reigning American League Cy Young winner. In just two career at-bats against Skubal, Andujar is hitless. At least against lefties, Andujar will be San Diego's primary DH, with veteran Nick Castellanos starting on the bench on Opening Day. The 31-year-old Dominican has an .807 career OPS against lefties, as opposed to a .734 OPS against right-handers. Andujar hit just .220 (11-for-50) with three home runs, 10 RBI, nine runs scored, and a stolen base in 19 Cactus League games this spring. He brings some pop from the right side, but he hasn't done much in the power department in his nine-year MLB career outside of crushing 27 long balls back in 2018 with the Yankees in just his second MLB season.

Free-agent outfielder Miguel Andujar and the San Diego Padres agreed on a one-year, $4 million contract on Wednesday evening, sources told Jeff Passan of ESPN. Andujar, 30, will join the Friars after a solid 2025 campaign with the Athletics and Cincinnati Reds. He hit .298/.329/.436 with six homers and 27 RBI in 60 games for the A's before being traded to Cincy at the deadline. Andujar was even better in 34 regular-season games with the Reds, slashing .359/.400/.544 with a .944 OPS, four homers, and 17 RBI. The move to San Diego will be a bit of a downgrade ballpark-wise, and the Dominican will probably be stuck on the short side of a platoon in the outfield against lefties, whom he posted a ridiculous .986 OPS against last year. Since 2003, Andujar has a .967 OPS versus southpaws. Heading into his age-31 season, is unlikely to be as good as he was in 2025, but he could make for a nice role player in San Diego.

Free-agent outfielder Miguel Andujar, who is coming off a big season with the Athletics and Reds, is drawing significant interest from the Texas Rangers, San Diego Padres, St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati Reds, Chicago Cubs, and A's. Andujar hit a combined .318/.352/.470 with an .822 OPS, 10 home runs, 44 RBI, and 36 runs scored in 94 games with the A's and Reds. He missed time with a Grade 2 right-oblique strain and a quadriceps injury. The 30-year-old was a lefty killer and will most likely be a candidate for a platoon outfielder role wherever he lands. Fantasy managers definitely shouldn't expect him to come anywhere close to his 208 production with the New York Yankees, when he hit a career-best 27 home runs and drove in 92 in 149 games. In deeper fantasy leagues, Andujar is attractive for his power and dual eligibility at third and outfield.

The Cincinnati Reds are acquiring third baseman/outfielder Miguel Andujar from the Athletics, per Ari Alexander of KPRC2. Full details aren't available yet. Andujar has slashed .298/.329/.436 with six homers, 27 RBI, and 22 runs scored in 231 plate appearances this season. The right-handed Andujar has done the majority of his damage against lefties, whom he has victimized for a .422/.458/.578 line over a small sample of 48 trips to the plate. Andujar will improve the Reds' depth, but this isn't a high-impact move for fantasy managers.

Athletics infielder/outfielder Miguel Andujar (oblique) joined Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday and is expected to start his minor-league rehab assignment on Thursday as the designated hitter. If Andujar avoids any setbacks on his rehab assignment with the Aviators, it's possible he'll be able to return as early as this weekend for a series against the San Francisco Giants in Sacramento. The 30-year-old veteran has been sidelined since June 2 with a Grade 2 right-oblique strain. When he returns to the big leagues, Andujar should see pretty regular playing time between left field and third base, which is bad news for both Max Muncy and Luis Urias (hamstring). Before his injury, Andujar was hitting a strong .296 (50-for-169) but with only three home runs, 20 RBI, 19 runs and a steal. Fantasy managers in mixed leagues shouldn't be interested in Andujar.

Athletics third baseman Miguel Andujar (oblique) suffered a Grade 2 right-oblique strain while swinging on June 1 against the Toronto Blue Jays and landed on the 10-day injured list the next day. Andujar will be out "a couple weeks, if not longer," according to director of sports medicine and rehabilitation Brian Schulman. The 30-year-old veteran Dominican has been valuable for fantasy managers in AL-only leagues despite his lack of counting stats, as he's hit .296 (50-for-169) in 46 games for the A's this year. He has the ability to play both third base and the outfield, too, giving the team more flexibility. Barring a setback with his oblique, Andujar could return to the big-league roster in late June. In the meantime, the A's could mix and match at the hot corner with Luis Urias, Max Schuemann and CJ Alexander.

The Athletics announced on Monday that they placed third baseman/outfielder Miguel Andujar (oblique) on the 10-day injured list with a strained right oblique and recalled outfielder JJ Bleday from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Given the nature of oblique injuries, there's no guarantee that Andujar will be able to return from the IL when he's eligible. The 30-year-old veteran has played both left field and third base for the A's this year and has hit just under .300 in 180 plate appearances, however, it's come with limited counting stats in three home runs, 20 RBI, 19 runs scored and one stolen base in 46 games played. With Andujar out a while, Bleday should see everyday playing time with rookie outfielder Denzel Clarke struggling at the plate in his first taste of big-league pitching. Drew Avans is starting in left field on Monday, while CJ Alexander is at the hot corner for the A's.

Athletics infielder/outfielder Miguel Andujar (ribs) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels and right-hander Kyle Hendricks, starting at third base and batting sixth for Game 2 of the four-game series. Andujar was scratched from the lineup on Monday due to soreness in his right rib, but he'll be back in action a day later. The 30-year-old veteran Dominican could be a DFS sleeper on Tuesday in the matchup against Kendricks, who he has gone a perfect 3-for-3 against with three RBI in his career. Andujar is also hitting a strong .312 (39-for-125) on the season, albeit with minimal counting stats of three home runs, 19 RBI, 13 runs scored and one stolen base. He rarely strikes out but also rarely walks and has minimal power and speed for fantasy managers.

Athletics outfielder Miguel Andujar (rib) has been scratched from Monday's series opener against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels due to right-rib soreness. Manager Mark Kotsay said that Andujar will probably be available off the bench on Monday, but the team wanted to give him a break from the field. Tyler Soderstrom is in left field and is batting third, while Gio Urshela is playing third base and hitting ninth against Angels right-hander Jose Soriano on Monday in Sacramento. The 30-year-old Andujar appears to be day-to-day for now and could return to the field when the series against the Angels continues on Tuesday at Sutter Health Park. Other than his strong batting average (.312) this year, Andujar has delivered meager production for fantasy managers in AL-only leagues with only three homers, 19 RBI, 13 runs and a stolen base in 125 at-bats.

Athletics third baseman/outfielder Miguel Andujar was a key contributor in Tuesday night's 11-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Andujar went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBI, capping his night with a two-run home run in the ninth inning his third of the season. He also added a pair of singles, including an RBI knock in the seventh. The 30-year-old is now slashing .319/.347/.442 and has lowered his strikeout rate to a career-best 10.7 K%. Andujar will look to stay hot as the Athletics continue their push for the top spot in the American League West.
