New York Yankees left fielder Miguel Andujar reportedly requested a trade Friday.
According to MLB insider Hector Gomez on Saturday, Andujar talked with manager Aaron Boone. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic confirmed the request and noted it came because of a "lack of a consistent opportunity" and that it wasn't the first time Andujar has asked to be traded.
The Yankees optioned the 27-year-old to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday to make room for Giancarlo Stanton, who was activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.
