The New York Yankees on Saturday placed infielder/outfielder Miguel Andujar (left wrist strain) on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 7, and placed right-handed pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga on the COVID-19 injured list.
To fill the roster spots, the team recalled right-handed pitchers Albert Abreu and Brooks Kriske from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The lion’s share of his production came in 2018, when he hit 27 homers, drove in 92 runs and hit .297 in 149 games.
Loaisiga, 26, is having a breakout season for New York, carrying 7-3 record along with two saves and a 2.11 ERA in 36 games (47 innings pitched), striking out 46 and walking only 10.
Abreu has allowed three runs over 12 2/3 innings this season for the Yankees, while Kriske has allowed seven runs in five innings.
