Miguel Andjar played first base for the first time this spring on Thursday George Fant Jersey . Unlike his transition into left field, Andjar had some trouble.Similar to his first appearances in the outfield, it didn't take long for the ball to find Andjar. With ace Gerrit Cole on the mound a grounder was slapped to the right side of the infield in the bottom of the first.Andjar ranged to his right, making a backhand stab before to sing the ball over to Cole, who was en route to cover the first base bag. He got the job done, recording the out, but the throw seemed awkward he didn't appear as comfortable as he's been at other positions so far this spring.He was tested again in the third frame. This time, his inexperience at the position was on full display as a routine play went awry.After a ground ball to third base his former position that was populated and Andjar mishandled the throw to first Mychal Kendricks Jersey , allowing the ball to pop loose from his mitt. The 25-year-old was charged with an error on the play.Skipper Aaron Boone, who has been pleased with what he's seen from Andjar in left field so far this spring, said after the game that the plan is to keep him in the outfield, rather than first base. They'll still mix in the occasional appearance at the hot corner as well.Right now it is a little bit of a priority to get him back in the outfield and get him those reps and making sure we get him back to third as well, Boone told reporters.Eliminating first base from Andjar's defensive repertoire isn't detrimental to the Bombers' defensive equation New York has Luke Voit, Mike Ford and even DJ LeMahieu as viable first base options for 2020. With only a few appearances at other positions besides third base, however, there are still questions regarding how Andjar will fit into the Yankees' positional puzzle come Opening Day.Scroll to Continue , and . Nonethele s, there are .The biggest reason why Andjar is being considered for this Mike Iupati Jersey role, however, is his bat his offensive ceiling is about as high as any of the other candidates to play in the outfield this season. As it has been all spring, Andjar demonstrated his offensive potential on Thursday, moments before that error at first base.In the top of the third inning of Thursday's long-ball fest in which both teams combined for 11 homers Andjar came away from a grand slam. He turned on a fastball up in the zone, strutting his patented helicopter follow-through as the ball slammed off the very top of the wall in left-center field. Andjar wound up with a two-run, standup double to put the Yanks on the board.That ceiling on offense was teased to Yankees fans in 2018 during Andjar's rookie season. Delano Hill Jersey The 25-year-old hit .297, slugging 27 homers and slashing 47 doubles top-five in the Majors. He came in second place in the American League Rookie of the Year Award raceto Los Angeles' Shohei Ohtani.Andjar is hitting .250 this spring, but when he's connected with the ball, it's gone a long way. Thursday's double was his third extra-base hit in just seven games, including a home run in the Yankees' second road game of Grapefruit League last month.With a hobbled roster, Andjar's presence in New York's order will be integral early on this season. His defense may still be in flux, Barkevious Mingo Jersey as whether or not he'll make an impact in the field remains to be seen, but his bat hasn't taken a beat.All in all, Andjar is eager to help this team succeed, no matter where he ends up."Ive loved having an opportunity to play and help the team," he said earlier this spring through the Yankees' interpreter. "At the end of the day, that's what you want to do. You want to be able to help the team in any way po sible. I'm honored to have the opportunity to be here. Any opportunity is going to be welcome."
