East Notes: Andujar, Nelson, Smith, Turner

By TC Zencka | April 25, 2021 at 4:43pm CDT

The Yankees announced a pair of roster moves after today’s 7-3 loss to the Indians. For starters, they optioned Nick Nelson to their alternate site. The 25-year-old right-hander appeared in six games, once as an opener, giving up 10 earned runs in 8 1/3 innings. The demotion comes after a two-inning, three-earned-run outing in today’s ballgame. In addition, the Yankees activated third baseman Miguel Andujar from the injured list and optioned him to their alternate site. Andujar was beset by a bout of carpal tunnel syndrome in his right wrist. Slowed largely by injures, the 26-year-old has hit just .193/.219/.257 across 114 plate appearances since his breakout rookie season in 2018. Let’s stay on the East Coast, but move over to the Senior Circuit…

  • The Mets activated right-hander Drew Smith from the injured list and optioned him to their alternate site, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com (via Twitter). The 27-year-old has been spotty, but intriguing in small samples for the Mets. Though he made just eight appearances last year, he has logged 35 innings in 35 appearances with a 4.11 ERA/4.08 FIP going back through 2018. Injuries have been the bugaboo for Smith, who missed all of 2019 after undergoing Tommy John surgery. His shoulder has been the issue of late, though hopefully, with some time at the alternate site, Smith can prove his readiness and soon get back to a big league mound.
  • Star shortstop Trea Turner was removed from today’s game after getting plunked in the arm. He has a contusion on his left forearm, but testing came back negative, per Jesse Doughtery of the Washington Post (via Twitter). Turner may miss a game, but it sounds as if the Nats expect him to be okay. That’s critical for the Nationals, as Turner has taken over as their 3-hole hitter with Juan Soto on the shelf. The speedy shortstop looks at home in the middle of the order with a 120 wRC+ and 1.0 bWAR produced through 75 plate appearances prior to today’s game.

    A brutal day for the Braves so far at home against the Dbacks. One hit in seven innings in the first game, no hits in the first five innings of the nightcap. Outscored 12-0 on the day (it is currently 7-0 in Game 2). Tune in for the last couple innings to see if Bumgarner tosses a no-hitter that won’t be counted as an official no-hitter.

      I still think he’ll have a really nice career. That type of bat will stick somewhere but not sure it’ll be New York.

        Colorado would be a good landing spot. He can be included in a trade when the Yankees inevitably look for a starting pitcher at the deadline. Yankees get Marquez or Gray. The Rockies get Andujar as one of the players in a prospect package.

          Andujar is a toss in to that deal; he is not the headline piece at all. Someone like Schmidt, Gil or Garcia would need to be included.

        • Nyy5102

          At this point yes. He hasn’t played in two years but I also think they Yankees won’t trade him for pennies either

        • StudWinfield

          Andujar is going to have to show something with the bat at AAA in order to be any more than a throw in for a trade. Gray would be my choice for a target. Marquez would be wonderful but it would take an overpay in prospects to get COL to pay enough salary to stay below the CBT and maintain the reset.

          With what the Rockies got back for Arenado, I would not be shocked if Andujar is headlining a package for both of them and Story.

      Yankees, i mean cashman will wreck his value. Like Joba and many others. If he had no place to play after Gio arrived and after his incredible rookie year than just trade him (even while injured). B/c now as predicted by many the injury isn’t even the issue. Its the yankees having used every excuse not to play or showcase him. Now i am sure he is worth less than he was early last year,

    The Braves just got (kinda) no-hit by a guy with an 8.68 ERA.

    I wonder if a seven-inning no-no satisfies any ho-hitter bonus in his contract?

        Six shutouts already today brings the season total to 57, The 30 teams have played an average of slightly more than 21 games. In last year’s 60-game season, there were 12 total shutouts in MLB. No April weather games in 2020, but nearly five times the number in one-third the time is insane.

          Dead(er) ball, long lay off, & the weather has been rugged. Out here in flyover land it feels like football weather not baseball. Been in the mid/high 30’s & we even had a little snow this afternoon.

          Gotta be able to run the ball in conditions like this.

        • Steve Nebraska

          The D-backs were playing in Arizona…in a dome. This was bound to happen to offenses as they transition back to a denser ball. Guys were use to being able to get away with bad habits and hit home runs. Those now turn to fly outs. It will take about a full season for the league to fully adjust to the new ball, just as it took about a season to fully take advantage of the juiced ball.

      Ya, it’s a little difficult being a Braves fan, right now. I saw the Braves rotation as the source of regression while the line up would have to carry what was left but with the Braves line up struggling so much they might as well as trade in their bats for well boiled noodles.

        I think what concerns me a bit more about the Phils is that their troubles seem to be coming from the areas that were questionable to begin with. Starting pitching depth, CF and bullpen. I don’t think we have answers for those problems on our roster. Bullpen will get some key pieces back, but CF and the backend of the rotation are going to be problematic all year.

      Andujar would be a good DH somewhere. Be great if that was on the Yankees but they will never be able to unload Stanton. The Yankees need to roster overhaul but they don’t have tradeable pieces to get any of value back in return.

    If bumgarners no hitter wont be officially recognized, then the 7 inning games must go..
    If its official ,then every non 9 inning no hitter must be recognized as an official game too.

      That would make MLB a complete joke if their own rule changes don’t consider a 7-inning no-hitter legitimate. That would be pathetic. MLB has deemed it as a full game, so how could they possibly justify that?

      What’s also amazing is that Zac Gallen allowed only 1 hit in the first game, so the Braves were able to muster up 1 hit in 14 innings today. Nice.

    Bumgarner should be credited with a no-hitter. The games is an official game in the standings so the no-hitter should be official too. It’s not Bumgarner’s fault double header games are 7 innings

        Andujar Cedeno was part of the massive offseason trade between the Astros and Padres in December 1994. You don’t see too many trades like that where the majority of players involved were from both teams major league rosters

          Ausmus was in 3 deals between those 2 teams
          1996 Jose Lima, Brad Ausmus, Trevor Miller, CJ Nitkowski and Daryle Ward for Doug Bracail, Brian Hunter, Todd Jone and Orlando Miller

          1999 Brad Ausmus and CJ for Mark Persails, Carlos Villelobos, Paul Bako, Dean Crow, and Brian Powell.

          2000 Ausmus, Brocail and Nelson Cruz for Roger Cedeno, Chris Holt and Mitch Meluskey
