Yankees’ Sanchez Says Pain In Groin Has Disappeared

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Yankees are being extra cautious with Gary Sanchez.

The catcher, himself, updated reporters on Tuesday, saying there is at least a chance he could return from his strained groin by the end of August.

“As of right now I don’t feel anything,” Sanchez said of the injury, which has kept him out since July 24. “I haven’t been running on the field 100 percent yet, but right now I don’t feel it.

“I think the real test is going to come when I play in games,” he added. “When I hit a ground ball and I am pushing myself, that is going to be the real test.
