New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is heading to the disabled list with an injury, one day after not hustling on a couple of plays in a loss to the Rays, sources told ESPN's Buster Olney.
An MRI on Tuesday confirmed the injury, which Fancred Sports reported was an aggravation of a groin issue.
Austin Romine is starting at catcher Tuesday against the Rays, with Greg Bird serving as the designated hitter.
Monday's 7-6 loss ended when Sanchez was thrown out on an uncommon, game-ending 4-6-3 single-out putout. He didn't hustle out of the batter's box, and after the game expressed regret.
