Girardi plans to maximize use of 3 backstops

As Yankees manager Joe Girardi has repeatedly said over the four days since the team's No. 5 prospect was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, the Yankees are going to find a way to get Sanchez into the lineup as often as possible. For the second straight day, the Yankees achieved this by slotting Sanchez in as the catcher on Saturday.

But lining Sanchez up at catcher creates a bit of a logjam for Girardi. At the moment, the Yankees are carrying three catchers on their roster, with Brian McCann and Austin Romine still options on any given day.
