The Yankees are facing a severe roster crunch. Brandon Drury, who the Yankees traded for in the offseason to be the starting third baseman, is coming back from the DL following the treatment migraines — and Greg Bird is racing back from preseason surgery on his right foot.
The Yanks originally signed Neil Walker to a one-year contract to split time at second base with Tyler Wade, who fought his way onto the team in spring training and then quickly lost the job to rookie sensation Gleyber Torres. Second base now belongs to Torres, period.
Miguel Andujar was brought up to play third base when Drury went to the DL and has solidified his place there with electric hitting and good defense.
