41 Miguel Andujar 3B

Andujar is not in the lineup for Game 4 of the ALDS against the Red Sox on Tuesday.

Andujar has committed 15 errors this season, so manager Aaron Boone will go with the surer glove in Neil Walker -- who also happens to be a switch hitter -- for Tuesday's potentially decisive contest. While the rookie struggled on defense this season, he hit .297/.328/.527 with 27 homers and 92 RBI through 149 games, so he'll be one of Boone's top options off the bench should an opportunity arise.

Andujar will serve as designated hitter and bat cleanup against the Red Sox on Sunday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Andujar was initially set to ride the bench for the regular-season finale but was a late addition: He replaced Giancarlo Stanton to give the veteran slugger an extra day of rest. The 23-year-old will have another opportunity to add to his .297/.329/.527 slash line and 27 home runs.

Andujar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Andujar started the last eight games and went 11-for-34 with two home runs and five doubles in 36 plate appearances. Neil Walker grabs the start at third base and bats eighth as the rookie finishes the regular season with a .297/.329/.527 slash line with 27 home runs and 46 doubles, although he could still come off the bench Sunday.

Andujar is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Andujar will hit the bench after going 2-for-14 over his last four starts. Neil Walker will grab the start at third base and bat sixth for the Bronx Bombers.

Andujar went 1-for-1 with a walk and a grand slam in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Blue Jays.

Andujar received a rare day out of the lineup Saturday but stepped to the plate as a pinch hitter for Brett Gardner with the bases loaded during the seventh inning, and brought the Yankees to within 8-7 with the grand slam. The 23-year-old has a modest seven game hit streak and is 10-for-27 in that stretch. The grand slam is the rookie third baseman's 24th home run of the season.
