Brian Cashman dropped a bombshell at the GM Meetings on Wednesday night, and it’s not the kind Yankees fans were expecting. While speaking to reporters, Cashman indicated that Gary Sanchez will undergo surgery on his left shoulder.
The Yankees General Manager revealed that Sanchez has experienced discomfort in his non-throwing arm since 2017. The problem persisted and flared up noticeably while the catcher worked out in Tampa last week. A cortisone shot didn’t do the trick, and now he’s heading under the knife.
The team expects a three-month recovery, with Sanchez healthy and ready to go for Opening Day.
