“Anytime you walk out on the field, you’re at risk,” Boone said before the game. And to ease his transition and the concern over reinjuring the shoulder, the Yankees intend to give Andujar at-bats as a designated hitter. “It’s been tough to watch the games and not have the opportunity to compete,” Andujar said through an interpreter. Andujar may yet require an operation this winter; he said the club had not discussed it with him. Boone, for one, repeated the company line that Andujar would not be on the field if the risk were great.
