Yolmer Sanchez enjoys brief outfield adventure

PHOENIX -- Yolmer Sanchez did something Carlos never has on Tuesday night when he set foot in the outfield.

The White Sox second baseman took over in right field during Tuesday’s loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks as part of a double switch. Sanchez moved to right field to start the sixth inning and was tested as Jake Lamb’s fly ball found him immediately.

Afterward, Sanchez pumped his first and celebrated his catch. It was the first outfield appearance made by Sanchez in 820 professional games, including the minors and winter ball.

“It was a good,” Sanchez said.
