Being behind the plate on consecutive days left Gary Sánchez’s lower back barking, prompting precautionary visits to the trainers’ room at George M. Steinbrenner Field. But the Yankees catcher believes he will return to Spring Training action shortly.
Sánchez was left off the batting-practice schedules on Saturday and Sunday due to the discomfort, which he said is in the lower-to-middle area of his back. The Yankees have not sent Sánchez for an MRI, but the 27-year-old is not listed on the travel roster for Monday’s Grapefruit League exhibition against the Phillies in Clearwater.
