Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez will undergo left shoulder surgery this offseason, New York general manager reportedly told reporters on Wednesday.
Sanchez has been hampered by the injury since the 2017 season. Per Lindsey Adler of The Athletic, Cashman said that Sanchez' planned recovery times is "roughly three months." The Yankees expect him to be ready in time for the start of the 2019 regular season. However, Cashman said that New York is comfortable with starting Andrew Romine if Sanchez is not ready by Opening Day.
Sanchez worked out in Tampa Bay last week and said his shoulder was bothering him.
