Albaladejo Leaves Game After Being Hit On Foot

From Bryan Hoch:
Yankees right-hander Jonathan Albaladejo left Sunday's Grapefruit League exhibition against the Reds after being struck in the right foot by a batted ball.

Albaladejo was working in the bottom of the third inning, when Cincinnati's Jeff Keppinger hit a hard shot up the middle and off the pitcher into center field.

Albaladejo backed up the play and started walking back to the mound until Yankees manager Joe Girardi grabbed him by the shoulders, turning him around. With little discussion, Albaladejo then walked off the field with Girardi and trainer Gene Monahan, replaced by right-hander J.B. Cox.

Hopefully everything is alright and they're just playing it safe.

That would suck if he got heart again. He just got off the DL. Hopefully him and the disabled list don't reunite.
