Report: Yankees' Miguel Andujar Assaulted, Robbed at Gunpoint in Dominican Republic

New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar reportedly escaped serious injury after being assaulted and robbed at his family farm in San Cristobal, Dominican Republic.

ESPN Deportes' Juan Arturo Recio (via NJ.com's Brendan Kuty) reported Thursday that Andujar was robbed and beaten around midnight Wednesday by two armed individuals. They also fired gunshots in the direction of a family member, who didn't suffer any injuries.

The assailants stole the MLB player's gold chain, which was valued at around $7,000.

In addition, the robbery suspects took an SUV belonging to Andujar's father, which was later abandoned and recovered by police, according to Listin Diario (via Kuty).
