Should face pitching soon Manager Aaron Boone said he expects Andujar (hand) to face live pitching at the Yankees' alternate site in the near future, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Andujar has taken a small step forward in his recovery from a right hand strain in the past week, advancing from hitting off a tee to taking on-field batting practice against soft-toss pitching. He's also been cleared to resume some throwing drills, so his ability to successfully handle live pitching may be the final hurdle he needs to clear before being ready to play in simulated games at the alternate site. Andujar is expected to report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre when the affiliate begins its season in May.

Cleared to hit Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Andujar (hand) has resumed hitting off a tee, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Andujar is scheduled to get in some swings in the batting cage during the upcoming week as he works through carpal tunnel syndrome in his right hand. The 26-year-old looks to be making good progress in his recovery, and if he avoids any further setbacks, he should be ready to return from the injured list before the end of April. The Yankees likely won't have room for him on the 26-man active roster, however, so expect Andujar to get optioned to the minors once he's eventually reinstated from the IL.

Placed on injured list Andujar (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to March 29.

Impact The 26-year-old has been dealing with a muscle strain and nerve issue in his right hand since mid-March, and he recently experienced some soreness after throwing and hitting off a tee. Andujar will be eligible to be activated April 9 at Tampa Bay, but he may need additional time on the shelf without significant progress in his recovery over the next week.

Still managing hand soreness Andujar (hand) has recently hit off a tee and thrown, but he backed off after experiencing some soreness, Max Goodman of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact In providing an update on Andujar, manager Aaron Boone indicated that the 26-year-old had been symptom-free before testing his hand and that he was feeling better the next day. While Andujar won't return in time to play in any more spring contests, there's optimism that his recovery is going well as a whole. "He's certainly getting better, but not out of the woods yet," Boone said Sunday.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Not close to game action Andujar (hand) isn't expected to get into game action any time soon, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Impact Andujar hasn't gotten into a game since March 10 as he battles a strained right hand. It looks as though he's running out of time to get up to speed by Opening Day and will likely open the year on the injured list.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Makes progress in recovery Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Andujar (hand) was able to take part in some fielding drills Wednesday, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Andujar is not yet ready to rejoin the Yankees' spring lineup, but he's beginning to show some improvement in his condition after being diagnosed Monday with a muscle strain in his right hand. The injury likely takes Andujar out of the running for a spot on the Yankees' Opening Day roster, but he never appeared likely to break camp with the big club.

Dealing with muscle strain Andujar is dealing with a muscle strain in his hand and a bit of a nerve issue, according to manager Aaron Boone, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact He will continue with treatment, but it sounds like this may result in a stint on the injured list to start the season. Andujar is hitting .133 with one strikeout and zero extra-base hits in 15 at-bats this spring.

Visit with hand specialist on tap Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Andujar will visit a specialist Monday after recently experiencing soreness in his right hand/wrist, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Impact Andujar previously experienced pain the same wrist while playing in the Dominican Winter League during the offseason, so the setback is fairly worrisome. The 25-year-old was already facing an uphill battle to make the Yankees' Opening Day roster, and his renewed hand soreness could be the death knell for his chances of breaking camp with the big club.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Will play outfield this week Andujar is slated to see time in the outfield Wednesday, Max Goodman of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Andujar has been working in the outfield during spring training, but he has yet to see time there during exhibition play. The 26-year-old is competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster, though his lack of a clear role could hamper his chances of breaking camp with the club.

Role for 2021 unclear Andujar will get reps in the infield and outfield during spring training, but his overall role for the 2021 season has yet to be determined, Max Goodman of Sports Illustrated repor...

Impact Manager Aaron Boone specified third base, first base and the outfield as positions Andujar will field during the spring, but there's no guarantee he'll make the Opening Day roster after spending much of last season at the team's alternate training site. Per Boone, Andujar's role could depend on opportunities that arise during the season, so it may take an injury for the 25-year-old to see his next big-league opportunity.

FEBRUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to alternate camp Andujar was optioned to the Yankees' alternate training site Tuesday.

Impact Andujar saw relatively consistent playing time at third base during his most recent stint on the active roster. He played well, hitting .355 with one home run and five RBI over nine games. However, he'll head back to alternate camp for now after Gio Urshela (elbow) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.
