New York Yankees Call Up Gary Sanchez (Report)
The New York Yankees have called up top catching prospect Gary Sanchez during Tuesday night’s contest with the New York Mets.
According to Scranton Times-Tribune, the New York Yankees have brought Gary Sanchez to the major league roster during what everyone calls prospect liberation day.
The polarizing prospect owns a .285/.340/.473 slash line with 10 home runs in 70 games in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and now he has a chance to showcase that in the Bronx.
With the Yankees facing off against the lefty Stephen Matz tomorrow night at the stadium, the right-handed hitting Sanchez will likely get a starting spot in the lineup.
In three major league games, New York’s fifth-ranked prospect is 0-for-6 with two strikeouts.
The call-up has yet to be confirmed and we will have more detail as to who was sent down as the information is exposed.
