New York Yankees Place Miguel Andujar On Temporarily Inactive List
Top New York Yankees third base prospect Miguel Andujar was placed on the temporarily inactive list on Friday.
Miguel Andujar has been kept out of the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders’ lineup for two games and while many assume the New York Yankees are brewing a trade, the top third base prospect is taking some family time.
The 22-year-old went back to New York to be with his girlfriend, who is, according to RailRiders manager Al Pedrique, expecting a baby.

With that, the RailRiders have announced that Andujar has been placed on the temporarily inactive list. The Yankees’ eighth-best prospect by MLB Pipeline was slashing .315/.354/.528 with four homers in 23 games for SWB prior to this family matter.
