Infielder-outfielder Miguel Andújar requested a trade from the Yankees after being optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Friday’s 13-0 victory over the Tigers.

Hector Gómez first reported -- and The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal has confirmed -- that Andújar informed manager Aaron Boone of his desire to be traded. Boone said that he would not divulge the contents of their discussion, adding that Andújar’s demotion was the result of “a tough numbers game.” 

The Yankees have not confirmed the report.
