41 Miguel Andujar 3B

Andujar went 2-for-4 with a run and three RBI in a victory over the Blue Jays on Saturday.

After starting the year with just three hits in his first 28 at-bats, Andujar is starting to heat up. He now has nine hits in his last five games, improving his OPS to .796. With Gleyber Torres set to join the Yankees on Sunday, the playing-time situation in New York is about to get murkier, but Andujar is hitting well enough to earn a fair share of at-bats.

Andujar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

After failing to go yard through his first 36 at-bats after being called up, Andujar has now hit homers in back-to-back games. The rookie's .227/.255/.500 slash line remains rocky, but seven of his 10 hits in the majors have gone for extra bases (four doubles, one triple, two homers) and his 2:7 BB:K in 11 games suggests he hasn't been completely overmatched.

Andujar is out of the lineup against the Blue Jays on Thursday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Andujar will occupy a spot on the pine after recording a pair of two-hit games against the Marlins in New York's past two contests. Ronald Torreyes will draw the start at third and bat ninth in his stead.

Andujar went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles, a walk, an RBI and a run in Monday's 12-1 win over the Marlins.

The rookie has now racked up four extra-base hits over his past two contests, though he remains in pursuit of his first home run of the campaign. With Brandon Drury still experiencing blurred vision and migraines and seemingly not on track to return from the 10-day disabled list in the near future, Andujar should be in store for at least semi-regular starts at the hot corner for the time being. He's worth a look in deeper formats where available, though his low placement in the batting order could limit his run-scoring and run-producing opportunities.

Andujar is out of the lineup against the Red Sox on Thursday.

Andujar will get a breather following six straight starts, which includes a pair of 0-for-4 games to start the series against Boston. Ronald Torreyes draws the assignment at the hot corner in his stead.
