When Gary Sanchez and Edwin Encarnacion could return to Yankees
ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. — Gary Sanchez is listening to the Yankees’ medical staff about returning to the lineup during the final week of the season.
When the Yankees took the Tropicana Field before Tuesday’s 2-1, 12-inning loss to the Rays, however, there were five games remaining to see if Sanchez’s left groin is healthy enough to help the Yankees in the ALDS.
“They have a plan and I have to follow it,’’ said Sanchez, who last played in the second game of a doubleheader in Detroit on Sept. 10.
Asked if he had a game pegged to return, the All-Star catcher was looking at some time in Arlington, Texas, this coming weekend when the Yankees close the season with three dates against the Rangers.
