Andujar is a sell — below-league contact and no luck to blame.

His expected wOBA is .298, .017 under the league average, and his 254 plate appearances are past the point where that number becomes reliable. His actual wOBA is .314, so nothing unlucky is dragging the line down — the skill and the output are the same player. The contact quality underneath is thin: 88.3 mph average exit velocity, a 36.3% hard-hit rate, and 4.5% barrels, all below league, on 201 batted balls. That is well past the sample where contact quality locks in. The expected wOBA has been stepping down across the season, not up. He does make contact — a 15% strikeout rate is well below league — but he chases 40.8% of pitches off the plate, and weak contact on pitcher's pitches is where the value goes to die. Sell. 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG is the projection, so this is a drop — waiver-wire fringe, not a hold.
