BALTIMORE -- Yankees star catcher Gary Sanchez was removed from Saturday's game against the Orioles after sustaining a right biceps strain.
Sanchez fouled off a 97-mph offering from the Orioles' Kevin Gausman in the fifth inning. After a brief consultation with manager Joe Girardi and assistant athletic trainer Michael Schuk, Sanchez left the playing field and headed down the dugout tunnel toward the clubhouse.
Entering play on Saturday, the other current Major Leaguers with 2,000 or more career hits were Ichiro Suzuki (3,030), Adrian Beltre (2,942), Albert Pujols (2,826), Carlos Beltran (2,622), Miguel Cabrera (2,519) and Robinson Cano (2,214).
