Brand’ new start, same headaches for Drury

Blurred vision and headaches — and Miguel Andujar — kept Brandon Drury out of the Yankees’ lineup for nearly three months.

In his first game since April 7, Drury didn’t make it any easier to work his way back into it.

The former starting third baseman struggled mightily struggled in his return to the majors, going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts Saturday in an 11-0 loss to the Red Sox.

Aaron Boone had considered starting Greg Bird after the first baseman hit two homers the previous night, but decided the matchup meant more than momentum and sent out Drury’s right-handed bat against left-hander Chris Sale.

But Drury, who entered with a .276 career batting average against lefties and hit .306 in 58 minor league games this season, was overwhelmed by the leap in competition against Boston’s ace, going down on a total of seven pitches in two at-bats against Sale.

Drury, who is batting .192 through nine games (26 at-bats) this season, did no better against reliever Heath Hembree, striking out a third time as he failed to make contact in his first game back in The Bronx.

Boone has said he expects the infielder to remain with the Yankees the rest of the season, though he isn’t certain how often Drury will see action.

“He’s been playing and he’s been swinging the bat well,” Boone said. “That’s Chris Sale shutting us down.”

Though Drury and his teammates were helpless at the plate, the 25-year-old fared well in the field his first major league start at first base.

Drury, who had previously played one inning in the majors at first base, began working at the position while at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He played five games there, marking his first full game at first base since 2012.

Drury saw little action Saturday, but snagged a hard-hit Mitch Moreland grounder with a diving backhand, before flipping it to first for the final out of the second inning.

“I thought he played really well at first, first time out there with us up here,” Boone said. “Obviously he made a really good diving play, handled a couple balls, handled the flip to first easy so that was good to see.

“I look at it as it is gonna be kind of a work in progress for him over there. … It is something where he doesn’t have a lot of experience. It’s probably not gonna be perfect, but we think athletically he should be able to make up for some of that inexperience.”
