Miguel Andujar (3B, NYY) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 41% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Yet another week goes by and New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar still remains available in too many leagues. He finished the week with a .375 batting average, two home runs, three runs scored, and four RBI.

If you are looking for progress, look toward the pitching splits. Andujar has improved his average against left-handed pitchers (.239), as well as the righties (.313). He still limits his strikeouts (19.6%) and makes good contact (79.6%) when he swings. With a .310 OBP and 2% walk rate, Andujar is less appealing in OBP leagues.

Unfortunately, Andujar bats in the bottom third of the order, but the Yankees offensive is so stacked that it should rotate often enough for him to get consistent opportunities to fill up the stat sheet. Andujar’s first series this week against the Astros is a tough matchup, but he gets the Orioles as a relief in the second series.
