TORONTO — Aaron Boone didn’t want to play the speculating game when asked about injuries to Gary Sanchez and Edwin Encarnacion, but the Yankees manager had an idea when J.A. Happ would return.
Boone, however, was optimistic the trio, who all left the team in Detroit for tests in New York, would return at some point this year. For Sanchez and Encarnacion, the next few days will play an important part of their return as will the calendar, since the Yankees have 13 games remaining following Friday night’s 6-5 loss in 12 innings to the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.
