Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez was removed from the IL on Wednesday; could third baseman Miguel Andujar be next?
In an extended effort to avoid season-ending surgery to repair a slight tear in his right labrum, the Yanks have taken a conservative initiative with their talented 24-year-old slugger.
Soft tossing from 60 feet, then 90 and finally 120 — eventually led to hitting off a tee, then swings in the batting cage and finally live BP.
From all accounts, Andujar has reported no further pain and is set to play in an extended Spring Training game on Friday at the Yankees minor league complex in Tampa, FLA.
