TORONTO — - After six outings in the previous 11 days, the Blue Jays decided to rest reliever Aaron Sanchez on Wednesday night.
And then Sanchez, with perhaps some guidance from high up above the Blue Jays ivory tower, decided to drop his appeal on his three-game suspension for hitting Kansas City Royals’ Alcidies Escobar on Sunday after plate ump Jim Wolf had issued warnings to both benches.
So besides Wednesday, Sanchez will wear the suspenders and sit in the timeout seat for the finale of the Twins series and the opener of the weekend series at Yankee Stadium.
