Impact It looked like it might be a leg-related injury when Sanchez pulled up while running out a grounder, but apparently it's his neck that's bothering him. It would seem to qualify as good news and likely is a day-to-day situation. Sanchez was retired in his lone plate appearance Wednesday before exiting.

More clarification on Sanchez's status should be available shortly.

Impact Though the Marlins reinstated Sanchez from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, he'll now be on the bench for a second straight game since being activated.
