Gary Sanchez may have an explanation after all.
The catcher, whose loafing cost the Yankees on Monday night, may have re-aggravated the groin injury that had him on the DL prior to the All-Star break, according to Jon Heyman of Fancred.
After the game, which ended with Sanchez being out at first after he did not sprint out of the box — his second seemingly lackadaisical play of the day — he took ownership of the hustle without blaming an injury.
“I think I could’ve done a better job for sure there running,” Sanchez said.
