Gary Sanchez hit a home run in his second straight rehab game for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. This mini power surge comes as the big league club’s offense has struggled to consistently produce.
Sanchez, who was DH-ing for the Yankees’ AAA affiliate, drove the ball out to the opposite field off of Syracuse Chiefs right-hander Austin Voth in the fourth inning. He finished the game 1-for-4 with a strikeout.
The Yankees’ backstop has been dealing with an injured right groin since July 23, but it looks like he’s fully recovered and itching to get back to the Bronx.
