NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — The New York Yankees announced on Monday catcher Gary Sanchez is headed to the disabled after pulling up while running out a double-play grounder Sunday at Tampa Bay.
The team recalled catcher Kyle Higashioka from Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre.
Following Sunday’s game Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sanchez hurt his right groin/hip abductor and “it’s probably going to be a DL situation.”
Sanchez was injured in the 10th inning. He slowly walked back to the dugout and was replaced defensively by Austin Romine.
“What can I say?” Sanchez said through a translator.
