Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez began a rehab assignment Saturday in Clearwater, Fla.
BALTIMORE — Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez finally appears over his right groin injury and playing again.
Sanchez’s first game in more than a month was a rookie level game for the Gulf Coast League Yankees East on Saturday in Clearwater, Fla., and although not getting any hits in three at-bats, he felt good health wise.
Next up for Sanchez will a few rehab games for the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, the first coming Monday night in Allentown against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs.
Watch the video to hear what Yankees manager Aaron Boone has to say about what Sanchez will do this week, when he could be back and if his playing time will decrease at all due to Austin Romine performing so well as the fill-in starter.
