NEW YORK -- The Yankees recalled catcher Gary Sanchez and outfielder Slade Heathcott from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, prior to a doubleheader with the Blue Jays. An elated Sanchez received the news Friday night.
"I have no words. Very emotional and this is any baseball player's dream," Sanchez, 22, said through an interpreter. "Last night after the game, the manager came, grabbed me, brought me into the office and told me the news.
"I called my wife, mom and grandma. I was super excited to give them the good news."
