Yankees place catcher Gary Sanchez on DL with biceps strain

Published Jun. 30, 2017 6:28 p.m. ET

Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is headed to the disabled list, the team announced Saturday evening.

Sanchez strained his right biceps during Saturday’s win over Baltimore, leaving the game as a result. He was hurt after fouling off a pitch. New York recalled Kyle Higashioka in a corresponding move.

The 24-year-old burst onto the scene last season, hitting 20 home runs in 53 games as a rookie and entered this season with high hopes as potentially one of the top catchers in the American League.

He went 3-for-18 with one home run in his first four games this season.
