New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is likely headed to the disabled list with a groin injury.

Sanchez was injured while trying to beat out a 6-4-3 double play in the 10th inning of Sunday's 7-6 loss in Tampa Bay, which capped a weekend sweep by the Rays.

"We'll have an MRI [Monday] to get a more clear diagnosis, but we think it's probably going to be a DL situation," manager Aaron Boone said.

Boone said Kyle Higashioka, the only available catcher on the 40-man roster, is likely to be the player called up to replace Sanchez.
