Why the Yankees must be encouraged by Gary Sanchez
Photo by Mike Stobe/Getty ImagesThe Yankees are expected to receive several impact players as the postseason approaches. Luis Severino, Dellin Betances, Giancarlo Stanton and more will be returning, and the team will have a close eye on their production, analyzing their performances compared to what’s expected of them. One player they can check off the list is Gary Sanchez, who recently returned and is looking as promising as he did earlier this season.
When Sanchez landed on the injured list, he carried a slump that saw him produce a -2 wRC+ through 93 plate appearances. Fortunately for the Bombers, it appears that Sanchez’s slump evaporated during his rehab.
