MOOSIC, Pa. — The hotter the Yankees get, the more the Baby Bombers astound, the further the displaced move from relevance.

Brandon Drury, whom the Yankees acquired to be the team’s third baseman, is biding his time 130 miles from The Bronx. He’s hitting well with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, which doesn’t appear to be consolation for the 25-year-old.

“I wasn’t happy about it,” Drury said quietly this weekend, recalling May 14, the moment he was informed he was being optioned to the minors, the Yankees formally deciding Miguel Andujar was their third baseman. “Doing what I can right now so when I go back up I’m a better player.”

Drury was brief but pointed, making clear he is not thrilled with his surroundings. He said he still watches the Yankees games every night, but, “It’s not easy.

“But this is going to make me better. Just gotta keep doing what I can do right now, be back up soon.”

He is the collateral damage of Andujar’s rise. Drury opened the season as the starting third baseman, a legitimate major league bat the Yankees believed could be more when they dealt a pair of prospects to get the Diamondback.

But his season was derailed just eight games in, going on the disabled list after an April 6 game. He had been dealing with blurred vision, a side effect of chronic migraines that had resurfaced. He saw doctors and sat out of games for nearly three weeks as he recovered. By the time his 20-day minor-league rehab stint was over, the Yankees had an exciting and raking rookie at the hot corner.

Drury said he’s clear-headed and 100 percent now, more than two months after the scare, and his numbers support that. He’s slashing .324/.457/.461 in 31 Triple-A games.

Last week, with an SWB runner on second and one out in the first inning, the opposing Durham Bulls intentionally walked Drury. Such is the respect manager Jared Sandberg has for the “special talent.”

“It just shows the depth of the Yankees organization,” said Sandberg, who said it was strange seeing Drury at that level — not to mention the rest of a roster bursting with major league talent.

“There’s always a little disappointment to start [when a player is demoted],” SWB manager Bobby Mitchell said about a team with, at the time, Tommy Kahnle, Ronald Torreyes and Clint Frazier. “But they’re playing hard.”

Coming to grips with being a fourth-year big leaguer wasting away in obscurity has been difficult. Drury said he still keeps in touch with “most of” the guys in The Bronx, but his phone is his only connection to where he wants to be.

“I’m ready to go,” Drury said.
