Yankees’ Sanchez lands on IL with groin strain

MLB

The New York Yankees have placed All-Star catcher Gary Sanchez on the 10-day injured list with a left groin strain.

Sanchez suffered the injury while running the bases in Tuesday night’s 14-12 victory over the Minnesota Twins. He was set to undergo an MRI on Wednesday morning, and manager Aaron Boone had acknowledged that a trip to the IL was possible.

Sanchez, 26, is batting .229 with a team-leading 24 home runs and 58 RBIs this season.

The Yankees announced the roster move before Wednesday afternoon’s game in Minnesota.

Catcher Kyle Higashioka and left-hander Nestor Cortes Jr. were recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, while right-hander Jonathan Holder was optioned to Scranton in corresponding moves.
