BALTIMORE — Gary Sanchez started what the Yankees hope is a road back to the big leagues Saturday.
Sanchez was the DH for the Yankees’ East team in the Gulf Coast League and went 0-for-3 with a walk and scored a run against the Phillies East in Clearwater, Fla.
“I am excited for him to start his trek back,” manager Aaron Boone said.
It was Sanchez’s first game action since going on the DL on July 24 with a strained right groin. The plan is for Sanchez to work out Sunday in Tampa and join Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.
