New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said a decision is likely within the next 24 hours on whether third baseman Miguel Andujar will have surgery that would likely end his season.
Andujar, 24, missed more than a month because of a labrum tear in his right shoulder. He returned from the injured list last week but managed only three hits in 34 at-bats, prompting the Yankees to send him for more tests on his shoulder.
Andujar returned to the 10-day injured list Monday, one day before an MRI showed no change in his shoulder from the MRI in April that initially revealed the tear, Boone said on Tuesday.
Boone said Andujar will talk the situation over with his family and the team and make a determination on what’s next — a return to rehab, or surgery.
