Contract selected by PIT Andujar had his contract selected by the Pirates on Saturday.

Impact Andujar will jump right into action as the starting right fielder and No. 6 hitter in the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals. The 28-year-old former Yankees prospect was slashing .284/.364/.500 with three homers and two steals through 99 plate appearances this season with Triple-A Indianapolis, but it's hard to envision him offering steady fantasy production in the bigs.

Moving to minor-league camp Andujar was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Pirates on Sunday.

Impact The 28-year-old was a solid candidate to make Pittsburgh's Opening Day roster as a non-roster invitee, but he underwhelmed at the plate during spring training with a .195/.244/.366 slash line in 45 plate appearances. Andujar appeared in 36 games between the Yankees and Pirates last season and had a .568 OPS, so he'll likely need to settle on serving as organizational depth.

Outrighted to Triple-A Andujar cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis by the Pirates on Thursday, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's a little surprising that Andujar passed through waivers unclaimed, but the Pirates are surely glad he'll stick around in the organization while not occupying a spot on the 40-man roster. The 27-year-old will be in major-league camp as a non-roster invitee.

Designated for assignment Andujar was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Friday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Impact As a result of the team bringing in Andrew McCutchen, Andujar was removed from the 40-man roster Friday. The 27-year appeared in 36 games with the Yankees and Pirates in 2022, producing a .235 average with one homer, 17 RBI, 13 runs and four stolen bases over 132 at-bats. Considering the lack of consistent options on Pittsburgh's major-league roster, Andujar will likely get another shot with the Pirates in 2023 if he stays with the organization.

JANUARY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Avoids arbitration Andujar agreed to a one-year, $1.525 million contract with the Pirates on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Andujar will be looking to revive his career in Pittsburgh after fizzling out with the Yankees. He burst onto the scene and finished as the runner up for AL Rookie of the Year in 2018 (behind Shohei Ohtani), but Andujar went on to post a .581 OPS over the subsequent four seasons. He projects as the Pirates' primary designated hitter at this stage in the offseason.

Three hits in season-finale Andujar went 3-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Andujar singled in his first at-bat in the second inning before ripping a triple off Matthew Liberatore in the bottom of the fourth inning, later coming around to score. He added another base knock in the following frame and the multi-hit effort was his second in the last seven games. Andujar will finish the 2022 campaign with a .235 average, one home run, 17 RBI, 13 runs and four stolen bases over 132 at-bats in 36 games with the Yankees and Pirates.

Drives in two Andujar went 1-for-5 with a double, a run scored and two RBI on Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Impact Andujar tallied an RBI double in the third inning after driving in a run on a fielder's choice two frames earlier. In eight games with the Pirates, Andujar has hit just .188. However, he has struck out at only a 13.9 percent clip and has also tallied nine RBI and three runs scored.

OCTOBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Drives in winning runs Andujar went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI on Tuesday against the Reds.

Impact Andujar made his lone hit of the contest count, as he cleared the bases with a double in the seventh inning to drive in the game-winning runs. Andujar has served as the designated hitter in both of his games since being claimed off waivers by the Pirates, and he's hit third and fifth in the order. He should continue to get plenty of plate appearances as the regular season winds down, and he already has four RBI with his new club.

Strong debut with Bucs Andujar went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored Monday against the Reds.

Impact Andujar hit third and served as the designated hitter in his debut with the Pirates. He reached base on a single in the seventh inning and came around to score on a Jack Suwinski double, and also tallied an RBI on a sacrifice fly one frame later. Andujar figures to serve a prominent role in the Pirates' lineup across the final week of the season while auditioning for a potential role with the club in 2023.

Activated, debuting at DH for Bucs The Pirates activated Andujar ahead of Monday's game against the Reds. He'll serve as the Pirates' designated hitter and No. 3 batter in the series opener.

Impact Andujar will immediately report to the big-league club after the Pirates claimed him off waivers from the Yankees over the weekend. Since slugging 27 home runs in the 2018 season to finish second behind Shohei Ohtani in the American League Rookie of the Year balloting, Andujar found playing time hard to come by with the Yankees over the subsequent four seasons and slashed an underwhelming .228/.255/.318 across 376 plate appearances in the majors during that stretch. The Pirates are expected to give Andujar a look as a regular in the lineup over the final week and a half of the season with the hope that the change of scenery reinvigorates the 27-year-old.

Claimed by Pittsburgh Andujar was claimed off waivers by the Pirates on Sunday.

Impact Andujar was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Thursday but will land a spot on the Pirates' 40-man roster a few days later. The 27-year-old has played 70 games at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this year, slashing .287/.332/.491 with 13 homers, 51 RBI, 42 runs and five stolen bases. It's not yet clear whether he'll join the Pirates' active roster for the final week and a half of the regular season.

Impact Andujar was sent to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday and will lose his spot on the 40-man roster a day later. He's appeared in 27 games for the Yankees this year and has slashed just .229/.250/.281 with a homer, two doubles, nine runs, eight RBI and four stolen bases.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down Wednesday Andujar was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

Impact Andujar was out of the lineup for four of the last five games, but he should see more consistent playing time with the minor-league club. Luis Severino (lat) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's start against the Yankees, while the Yankees got a reinforcement in the outfield Tuesday when Harrison Bader was activated.
