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.
