Gary Sanchez was originally slated to play for the New York Yankees either Monday or Tuesday after resting the previous two days with a sore back.
But manager Aaron Boone said he likely will not be in action until Friday. According to MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch, he wants to give the catcher extra rest with the team going across Florida on Wednesday and Thursday.
The soreness came after catching back-to-back days.
“It’s been a little tight, a little uncomfortable. After catching those games back-to-back, I just thought it was better for me to take care of it now.
