The Yankees avoided disaster Monday afternoon. Leading off the second inning of their final exhibition game of the spring, Miguel Andujar was plunked in the chest with an 87 mile per hour cutter by starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez. Andujar immediately reacted by jumping back and throwing his arms up.
