Cashman: Yankees’ Sanchez Expected Back In Late August Or Early September

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman expects injured catcher Gary Sanchez will be sidelined until late August or early September because a strained right groin. Cashman updated Sanchez’s status during a Wednesday conference call that centered on the Yankees’ acquisition of reliever Zach Britton from Baltimore for three prospects late Tuesday. Sanchez was put back on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday because of the injury, a day after failing to hustle on a pair of key plays in a 7-6 loss to Tampa Bay. Sanchez missed 20 games from June 25 to July 19 because of the groin problem. Austin Romine is filling in for Sanchez. Kyle Higashioka was recalled for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to be Romine’s backup. Cashman said it was a difficult trade market to acquire more catchers. (© Copyright 2018 The Associated Press.

Yankees Place Gary Sanchez On DL Day After Catcher Fails To Hustle On 2 Plays

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (CBSNewYork/AP) — New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez has gone back on the 10-day disabled list because of a strained right groin, a day after failing to hustle on a pair of key plays in a 7-6 loss to Tampa Bay. Sanchez missed 20 games from June 25 to July 19 because of the groin injury. Prior to tonight’s game, the Yankees placed C Gary Sánchez on the 10-day DL with a right groin strain. — New York Yankees (@Yankees) July 24, 2018 After Monday night’s game, Sanchez said through a translator that the groin issues were “definitely behind me” and that “it’s about doing a better job overall.” Austin Romine was behind the play for Tuesday night’s game at the Rays. Tampa Bay took a 1-0 lead in the first inning Monday when Jake Bauers scored from second on Sanchez’s 10th passed ball, which tied for the major league lead. Sanchez reached out and let a breaking ball from Luis Severino glance off his glove and right foot, then slowly chased the ball as it bounced toward the third base coaching box. Severino appeared angry as he spoke with Sanchez in the dugout after the inning, an encounter caught by a television camera. New York loaded the bases in the ninth when Sanchez batted with two outs. He grounded to second baseman Daniel Robinson, who flipped to shortstop Willy Adames. While Aaron Hicks beat the throw to second, Sanchez jogged up the first-base line and was thrown out by an alert Adames. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he planned to watch video of both plays before talking with Sanchez. “We always address stuff with our players,” Boone said. Sanchez was criticized by then-manager Joe Girardi after a passed ball last summer and was benched for two games. Sanchez’s 16 passed balls tied Yasmani Grandal for the big league lead last year, when Sanchez was behind the plate for 53 wild pitches. Sanchez has been behind the plate for 35 wild pitches this year. (© Copyright 2018 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved. The Associated Press contributed to this report.)
