Toronto Blue Jays right fielder Jesús Sánchez was forced to leave Wednesday’s game against the New York Yankees after appearing to suffer an injury while attempting to catch a fly ball.
In the bottom of the seventh inning, Yankees pinch hitter Paul Goldschmidt hit a weak pop out to shallow right field. Sánchez ran for the ball, but stumbled and couldn’t come up with the catch as Goldschmidt reached safely and Jazz Chisholm Jr. moved up to second base.
Sánchez was slow to get up and appeared to be winded on the play. Trainers eventually came out as Sánchez was forced to exit from the game.
Myles Straw replaced Sánchez in the outfield.
The 28-year-old, who was acquired from the Houston Astros during Spring Training, is hitting .266 with five home runs and 21 RBIs alongside an .720 OPS this season.
