The Yankees already miss Gary Sanchez behind the plate

It’s been just over 10 days since Gary Sanchez was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a Grade 1 strain of his right groin, but the Yankees still expect to be without their starting catcher for another couple weeks. He likely won’t return until after the All-Star break. Given his extended slump at the plate this season, and the constant defensive criticisms hurled his way, many saw the injury as a way for Sanchez to hit the reset button. This would give him the chance to take the recovery time to make adjustments and return to the Yankees as the elite player that he has shown the potential to be.
