Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is catching a lot of flak Tuesday for his lack of effort in Monday's 7-6 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Fancred's Jon Heyman thinks he might know why Sanchez didn't appear to give it his all:
Word is, Gary Sanchez may have re-aggravated groin injury on first inning passed ball last night. He's getting killed for "lazy" plays but perhaps this explains them. Was afraid to tell team initially because he dreads return to dl. Now will get treatment, try to avoid dl.
