BALTIMORE — They come and go as often as regulars on the Long Island Railroad, and All-Star catcher Gary Sanchez is preparing to return from the injured list for the second time this week.
Out since July 24 with a strained left groin, Sanchez is scheduled to begin a minor league rehab assignment Wednesday.
“Wednesday and Thursday with [Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre], catch both days and hopefully travel to us in Toronto and be an active player,’’ Aaron Boone said before his team beat the morbid Orioles, 9-6, at Camden Yards on Monday evening.
While the Yankees certainly miss Sanchez’s power potential (he leads the club with 24 homers) the combination of Austin Romine and Kyle Higashioka has been more than adequate filling in for Sanchez at the plate.
