SEATTLE — Miguel Andujar will get another chance with the Yankees. The former starter who has been stuck in Triple-A the last two seasons was recalled before Tuesday night’s game against the Mariners. He will replace Matt Carpenter, who fractured his left foot, on the 26-man roster.
Andujar, who was the runner up to Shohei Ohtani in the American League Rookie of the Year voting in 2018, has been hitting .293/.337/.498 with 12 home runs with Scranton. In 14 games with the Yankees this season, Andujar hit .245/.269/.286 with two doubles and four RBI in 52 plate appearances this season.
Now 27 years old, Andujar is starting to understand the transition from playing every day in the minors to coming up here and trying to have success.
