The sight of Miguel Andujar in the Yankees’ clubhouse Wednesday was enough to brighten manager Aaron Boone’s entire day.

But word that the 24-year-old will begin playing catch Monday made the team’s future dilemma of having to figure out how to integrate Andujar back into the lineup all the more real for the future.

It has been nearly four months since the third baseman has taken the field for the Yankees, as he has worked his way back from a partial glenoid labrum tear in his right shoulder that required season-ending surgery in May.

But Andujar said he isn’t worrying about his future with the franchise.

“I’m focused on what I’m doing now and [to] keep doing what I was doing before I got hurt, once I get the opportunity again,” Andujar said before the Yankees’ series finale against the Rangers.

The emergence of Gio Urshela’s consistent bat and all-around tremendous defense at third has stamped a giant question mark on Andujar’s place on the team. The Yankees’ desire for an additional starting pitcher also has complicated his case, because of the possibility of using the young Dominican as trade bait.

Andujar has taken note of Urshela’s brilliance, mentioning that he has been watching the team from home throughout his recovery.

“Honestly, amazing job by Gio,” Andujar said. “To come in here and produce the way he has been, it’s amazing, it’s great.”

Urshela, who sustained a groin injury at the end of August, is expected to be activated off the injured list Sunday, when the Yankees will be in Boston. He is hitting .331, with a season-high .413 average at the plate last month. What he has done with the starting opportunity was beyond the expectations of anybody in the organization, making the idea of moving him aside for Andujar, whose defense has proven to be on a lower level than Urshela’s, less likely.

By batting .297 with 47 doubles, 27 home runs and 92 RBIs in 149 games in 2018, Andujar solidified his reputation and finished second to Shohei Ohtani of the Angels for the AL Rookie of the Year award. He played the first three games this season before going on the injured list with a right shoulder strain. He returned in early May only to quickly land back on the IL on May 13 with the torn labrum. Between the IL stints, he was in a 3-for-34 skid in nine games.

“[My shoulder feels] much better definitely, it’s stronger now,” Andujar said. “Just definitely feels better than how it felt before. Very happy with the work we’ve been doing. It’s showed progression and I’m happy with it.”

Boone said he was pleased with how Andujar has managed to stay in great shape while rehabbing his shoulder, noting that he seems to be in “good spirits” as well.

The Yankees’ success has made it a bit easier for Andujar, who said his teammates’ ability to battle each and every day has been fun for him to watch.

At the same time, however, as the Yankees continue to charge for the playoffs with Urshela serving as an integral part of their winning equation, the need for Andujar may steadily ebb.
