Following last night’s game, the Yankees optioned INF/OF Miguel Andújar, INF Thairo Estrada and RHP Nick Nelson to the Alternate Site.

As per the roster rules for the 2020 season, all Major League clubs must trim their active roster to 28 players by Thursday’s deadline. Teams will be allowed to carry 28 players for the remainder of the season, but will be provided with an extra roster space on doubleheader days.

On Thursday morning, the Yankees announced that they have optioned three players to their alternate site. The Yankees current roster sits at 27 players.

The biggest surprise here has to be Andujar, who is simply a man without a full-time position.
