Gleyber Gets TJS, Andujar Moves Up

As if losing 6 straight didn't suck enough, Gleyber Torres is now gone for the rest of the season - with no chance of helping us - with TJS. It's terrible for Gleyber, the Yanks and us.  That means the Yanks now have their top position prospect, top pitching prospect and maybe #3 or #4 pitching prospect down with TJS.  Brutal.

The brightside with Gleyber, at least, is that it's not in his throwing arm, so the rehab with be much different and presumably have him ready for Spring Training.  Also on the brightside, Miguel Andujar, a real 3B, is coming up to play 3B at AAA.  And this is a promotion that Miguel, who's also a power hitter, was very deserving of.  He was crushing AA, and isn't learning the position from scratch this year. And he's already on the 40.  The Yanks also have another AA infielder who should be moving up in Thairo Estrada.

Interestingly, the injury probably also puts a trade freeze trading any of Wade, Andujar or Thairo, which is good for the longterm outlook of the team.  I see the future as Andujar at 3B, Gleyber at SS, Thairo at 2B,  and Wade as Super Utility guy.  This will also allow them to eventually trade high on Didi and Castro.

Another interesting issue is that Clint Frazier is now crushing AAA, and worthy of promotion.  Will they be willing to make room?
