Blue Jays' Aaron Sanchez Says He Injured Finger by Getting It Caught in Suitcase

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez has missed the last two months of the 2018 MLB season, and a suitcase is largely to blame.

The veteran right-hander revealed he suffered a bruised right index finger after it was caught in a falling suitcase.

"It got stuck in my suitcase and it started falling," he said, per the Associated Press (via ESPN.com). "It all happened in a span of about 30 seconds. I said 'Ow,' and my knuckle got super fat. I pitched that day, probably didn't help, but it was the first time I was going to pitch in front of my family as a professional and I wanted to see what I could do.
