BRONX, N.Y. — Service time and the livin’s not easy. Such is the case with rising star Miguel Andujar. As a number of New York Yankees players, Giancarlo Stanton, Gio Urshela and Jonathan Loaisiga came off the injured list Tuesday, Andujar was optioned back down to the alternate training site in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
That news did not sit well with Andujar’s agent Ulises Cabrera.
“Miguel is the first one sent down and never the first one brought back up,” Cabrera opined to The Athletic’s, Lindsay Adler. Cabrera went on to further accuse the organization of manipulating Andujar’s service time and “controlling a young and productive asset for as long as possible.
