Andujar has appeared in 27 games this season, batting .227 with 1 homer and 8 RBIs.
The Yankees announced on the 22nd (Japan time 23rd) that outfielder Miguel Andujar has been removed from the 40-man roster, which is a prerequisite for major league participation, and is effectively out of force (DFA).
27-year-old Anduhar made his major debut in 2017. In 2018, he batted .297 with 27 homers and 92 RBIs, and was second in the Rookie of the Year vote to Angels Shohei Ohtani. However, from the following year 2019, he has been sluggish. He played 27 games this season, batting .229 with one home run and eight RBIs.
He also placed Wandy Peralta on the 15-day injured list with a strained left thoracic spine and promoted Zach Britton, who has 154 saves, to the majors. The left arm, who was the most saved pitcher in 2016 with the Orioles, underwent Tommy John surgery on his left elbow last September.
