When Miguel Andujar came back off the Injured List just a week ago after slightly tearing his labrum in his right shoulder, many folks speculated if it was the right move by the Yankees. However, they eased everyone’s minds when they insisted Andujar could play through it and seemed strong and ready to contribute this season, further insisting hitting wouldn’t be the problem but throwing instead.
So when Andujar’s hitting became an obvious problem, going 1 for 27 in his last seven games since coming off the IL, the Yankees pulled back the reins, sent him back to the IL, and concluded that this torn labrum was more of an issue than they thought.
