The Oakland Athletics beat the Yankees 8-7 in extra innings Thursday night, but the Yankees may have lost another player:
Sanchez reached base all five times for the Yankees, going 3-for-3 with two walks, two singles, a double, a stolen base and 2 RBIs. Both his double in the seventh and his single in the ninth scored second baseman Starlin Castro to tie the game for the Yankees, who fell to the the A’s, 8-7, in 10 innings.
But on the stolen base in the ninth, Sanchez felt tightness in one of his abductor muscles around the groin. After waiting a batter, Sanchez called third-base coach Joe Espada out and took himself out of the game as a precaution. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he’s day to day.
Sanchez is having an excellent year, and is on fire in June. So far, New York weathered their injuries well. We will see how they do without CC Sabathia, and now maybe Gary Sanchez.
