Andujar keeps 3B job; Drury sent to minors
Yankees decide to stick with 23-year-old rookie
Miguel Andujar will keep the New York Yankees’ third base job, for now.
Brandon Drury was optioned to Triple-a Scranton/wilkesbarre on Monday following the end of his injury rehabilitation assignment.
Acquired from Arizona just after the start of spring training in February, the 25-year-old Drury hit .217 (5-for-23) with one homer and four RBIS in New York’s first eight games, then went on the disabled list April 7 with severe migraines that caused blurry vision.
Drury started the rehab assignment April 25 and batted .315 with two homers and seven RBIS in 11 games with Scranton and six with Double-a Trenton.
The 23-year-old Andujar is hitting .282 with 12 doubles, three homers and 14 RBIS. He has walked just three times in 135 plate appearances.
Braves 6, Cubs 5: ozzie Albies hit a leadoff drive for his 13th homer, Jose Bautista connected for a three-run shot and Atlanta held off Chicago.
Rays 2, Royals 1: Adeiny Hechavarria danced around catcher Salvador Perez with an inventive slide at home plate to score the go-ahead run. Tigers 6, Indians 3: niko Goodrum homered twice and drove in five runs for Detroit. Miguel Cabrera is on the disabled list, and Detroit has also been without nicholas Castellanos and Jeimer Candelario.
Mariners 1, Twins 0: Dee Gordon scored the only run on Logan Morrison’s throwing error.
