An MRI showed that Sanchez reaggravated the injury in the same spot and yet many still believed that this was the Yankees way of punishing him for his lack of hustle the night before. However, today GM Brian Cashman announced Sanchez would be out until late August or early September.
Clearly, Sanchez was in fact hurt and maybe the injury was never fully healed in the first place. That’s still no excuse for not hustling and to his credit, he took ownership for this again on Tuesday and wouldn’t use the injury as an excuse.
