• Athletics' Miguel Andujar: In Sunday's spring lineup

  26D ago • By RotoWire

  Andujar (abdomen) is playing left field and batting sixth in Sunday's Cactus League contest against Colorado. Andujar ended last season on the 60-day IL due to an issue that required core muscle surgery. He appears to be fully recovered given his ability to hit and play the field Sunday. Andujar hit well in his first season with the Athletics last year, posting a .285/.320/.377 slash line with four homers and three stolen bases over 319 plate appearances, and he's slated to get regular at-bats in left field during the 2025 campaign.

  The Athletics and Andujar (abdomen) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3 million contract Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. Andujar batted .285/.320/.377 with four home runs in 75 games for the Athletics in 2024 before his season ended in late August due to core muscle surgery. He should be ready for Opening Day and is in line for at least semi-regular at-bats.

• Athletics' Miguel Andujar: Moves to 60-day IL

  08/31/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Athletics transferred Andujar (abdomen) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Saturday. Oakland manager Mark Kotsay had already confirmed earlier this week that Andujar would require season-ending core-muscle surgery, so his move to the 60-day IL is simply procedural. His 40-man roster spot will be given to Janson Junk, who was claimed off waivers from Houston on Saturday.

• Athletics' Miguel Andujar: Ruled out for rest of season

  08/28/2024 • By RotoWire

  Manager Mark Kotsay said Wednesday that Andujar will miss the rest of the season as a result of his core-muscle injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. Andujar landed on the injured list earlier Wednesday, and he will need to undergo surgery to address the issue. The 29-year-old outfielder will close the book on 2024 with a .285 average and .697 OPS alongside four home runs and 30 RBI over 75 games. Daz Cameron, who has started in left field in both of Oakland's last two games, figures to take over as Andujar's primary replacement going forward.

• Athletics' Miguel Andujar: Shelved with core-muscle injury

  08/28/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Athletics placed Andujar on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a core-muscle injury. Andujar wasn't known to be dealing with an injury, but the core-muscle issue helps explain why he was mysteriously excluded from the lineup the last two games against a pair of right-handed starting pitchers. His placement on the IL is retroactive to Sunday, so Andujar will be eligible for activation beginning Sept. 4. Daz Cameron started in left field the past two games and should serve as the primary replacement while Andujar is on the shelf.
