ARLINGTON, Texas — Gary Sanchez didn’t commit to being able to play Wednesday night after leaving Tuesday’s game with a cramp in his right calf.
“I feel good but I want to see how I feel [Wednesday],’’ said Sanchez, who left the 6-4 loss in the sixth inning after feeling the cramp running from first to second.
Austin Romine replaced Sanchez and hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning that made it a two-run game.
Following the defeat, the Yankees optioned right-hander Giovanny Gallegos to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after he worked two scoreless innings and threw 24 pitches.
If Sanchez can’t catch for several games it’s possible the Yankees could summon catcher Kyle Higashioka from SWB for catching insurance. If they feel comfortable with Sanchez going forward the Yankees could replace Gallegos with another pitcher.
