Gary Sanchez, the Yankees’ young star catcher and budding power hitter extraordinaire, evidently sustained what has been called a right biceps strain while fouling off a 97-mph fastball during the fifth inning of Saturday’s 5-4 loss in Baltimore.
He exited the field after a painful practice swing, and has yet to undergo a complete diagnostic work-up to determine the extent of the injury. MLB.com reported Sanchez claimed “it felt kind of like when you pull a hamstring.”
By Sunday, it was noted that he was feeling somewhat better, which is a great sign. Sanchez was placed on the 10 day disabled list pending further assessment.
