Andújar recalled; Urshela to get MRI

Quote:
Prior to Friday’s game against the Nationals, the Yankees recalled third baseman/outfielder Miguel Andújar from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and optioned right-hander Albert Abreu to Triple-A.

The move to recall Andújar comes after third baseman Gio Urshela exited Thursday’s 7-4 loss to the Astros with a knee injury sustained on a diving stop in the eighth inning. Urshela is expected to undergo an MRI.

Andújar finished second to Angels’ two-way star Shohei Ohtani in the 2018 American League Rookie of the Year Award voting (Gleyber Torres was third) after hitting .297 with 27 homers, 47 doubles, 92 RBIs and an .855 OPS over 149 games.


Giancarlo Stanton during his 12-Game Hitting Streak:

🔥 BA .481 (25/52)
🔥 HR 6
🔥 RBI 11
🔥 R 11
🔥 OBP .509 (28/55)
🔥 SLG .904 (47/52)
🔥 OPS 1.413

Stanton has been a one man offense  
arniefez : 5/7/2021 3:58 pm : link
Hopefully at some point some of the other guys help out. I hope Andujar hits right away he's horrible career luck after a very good offensive rookie year and I hope he doesn't get too many chances at 1B. It's really not fair to him to expect him to field the position well with zero experience.

That I don't root for that I despise are the jets........

I have no issue with the Yankees or Rangers (Islander fan) aside from when they impact my teams, but the green.......this is heresy but I have rooted for Dallas/Eagles over the jest in the past

Anyway good luck to you Yankee fans this evening...rare weekend that both NY teams are home

I looked at the standings today  
Greg from LI : 5/7/2021 4:33 pm : link
Not just the AL East standings, all of them, and man what a weird season so far. Pretty much no one is off to a fast start. The best record in baseball is the fucking Sawx, and they're only 19-13.
best record in baseball since we cut Bruce  
RasputinPrime : 5/7/2021 4:50 pm : link
and things are coming together.

Really hoping Miggy can make things interesting. He needs some time to get going and this may be his last real opportunity to contribute.

I see him with two hits tonight with one of them driving someone in.

Miggy can catch, he just cannot throw..

Why not bring up Voit? He is ready to go...
He can throw  
Greg from LI : 5/7/2021 5:36 pm : link
He has a cannon. He just has one of the worst transfers and slowest releases. He also has terrible reflexes.
Miggy  
RasputinPrime : 5/7/2021 5:48 pm : link
is a 1B/DH. If they were realistic with him they would have tried him out at 2B before he made the majors.

Voit's lower half isn't in good shape and I would prefer they don't rush him back. If Miggy is ready to rake, let's see what he can do at first.

40 man issues aside

I was reading someplace that the health issues are more systemic and the likelihood of a knee or hip issue popping up again are pretty high. I wouldn't count on Voit to come back and stay healthy all season.

I don't know what that has to do with my belief that working Andujar into the lineup is a good hedge against bringing Voit back before he is really ready.

Gary goes bye bye.

Weirdest team batting. Someone will start to hit and someone will stop. This is crazy with Judge. Everyone goes through slumps, but he is missing miserably, missing meatballs. He is too good to be doing this.

My point was that he found a pitch straight back. He's not missing by much. But then he misses by a ton. You're right, it's weird. I think he'll break out soon.

it is the advanced stats that have sapped the entire league of hundreds of base hits. We can gripe about how boring the three outcome ABs are but when you are getting robbed because the defense is positioned perfectly - changing from pitch to pitch - you get it.

It's just bad for the game. The league is hitting about .230.

We need to kill the shifting and the ability of players to walk out on to the field with cheat-sheets.

Give me Paulie, CC and Ruocco every night. Throw Leiter and Coney in there with Ruocco every so often. That's my ideal.

I just don't enjoy Kay and Flaherty. They suck the joy out of the game for me.

One of Judge or Stanton is going to be gone within 2 years, and it won't be Stanton because of the contract. Similar players, both injured often and streaky. No need to have 2 of them. Judge either gets traded or leaves when he becomes a FA.
