Yankees\u2019 7-3 loss to the Twins<\/a> in The Bronx. <\/p>\nAndujar, last year\u2019s American League Rookie of the Year runner-up, was charged with two errors, and his three throws across the diamond could hardly be considered rockets. He flipped the ball there, putting little strain on the shoulder. In the second, an Eddie Rosario grounder snuck under his glove. And in the seventh, Andujar charged a Nelson Cruz chopper, threw towards second on the move for the force, but the ball sailed on him into right field.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the throw to second where he threw it away his footwork got away from a little bit there, off the wrong foot and the angle,\u201d Boone said. \u201cBut I didn\u2019t think he was tentative, no.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cErrors are going to happen in games,\u201d Andujar said. \u201cJust a bad throw, bad execution there.\u201d<\/p>\n
For now, Andujar will see a lot of time at designated hitter, as Gio Urshela mans third base, Boone said. Andujar was only there Saturday because Boone wanted to keep Gary Sanchez\u2019s lethal bat in the lineup \u2014 the catcher blasted his 11th home run of the season \u2014 and he didn\u2019t want him to catch the day game after a night game.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019ll mix in [at third base],\u201d Boone said of Andujar. \u201cThe way we are right now, there\u2019s probably more DH games [for him].\u201d<\/p>\n
Andujar didn\u2019t look rusty at the plate, going 1-for-3 with a walk out of the cleanup spot. He singled to center field in the sixth and flew out to the warning track in left-center in the eighth. He was a welcome sight to the injury-ravaged lineup \u2014 which is still without Aaron Judge, Aaron Hicks, Giancarlo Stanton and Didi Gregorius.<\/p>\n
\u201cI took many at-bats in the minor leagues,\u201d Andujar said. \u201cThey helped me to get back in a hitting rhythm. It feels good. The rhythm is there.\u201d<\/p>\n
His bat wasn\u2019t the concern, though. It was how his shoulder would hold up in the field, how much time he could spend at third base. His first day out there didn\u2019t alleviate those worries.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
