4 years agoNew York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andújar has a chance at claiming a role in the outfield this season, and manager Aaron Boone believes that the 25-year-old is capable of handling the defensive responsibilities required in that scenario. Despite posting a .855 OPS in his rookie season, Andújar will have trouble finding consistent playing time on the loaded Yankees depth chart. Giancarlo Stanton is likely to slot in as the team’s DH, Gio Urshela as the team’s third baseman, and Aaron Judge, Aaron Hicks, Brett Gardner, and Mike Tauchman are all in the outfield mix. With Judge’s injury status still in question, Andújar’s ability to play in the outfield should allow him to find additional playing time while also potentially granting him multi-positional eligibility.--Sam Chinitz
