Drury's move off the DL and to the Minors ensures top prospect Miguel Andujar a continued job at third base -- for now. Andujar is hitting .310/.328/.509 with three homers, 13 RBIs and 18 runs in the 29 games since Drury went on the DL.

Bird, expected back by the end of May or early June, will force the Yankees to make difficult decisions regarding their 25-man roster. New York's deep infield, currently in both the Majors and Minors, includes Drury, Andujar, Tyler Austin, Neil Walker and Gleyber Torres. While a few players are on the mend, others have been heating up."according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/brandon-drury-reinstated-from-disabled-list/c-276708238
