Gary Sanchez Suffers Biceps Injury vs. Baltimore Orioles, Placed on 10-Day DL

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez was forced to leave Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles because of a biceps injury. 

Per Jack Curry of the YES Network, the Yankees announced Sanchez suffered a right biceps strain. 

Bryan Hoch of MLB.com later reported Sanchez has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with no timetable for recovery.

The injury occurred in the fifth inning when Sanchez swung at a pitch from Orioles pitcher Kevin Gausman. He grimaced in pain for a moment, grabbing his right arm when the team's trainer came out to look at him. Sanchez was removed after a brief conversation with the trainer and manager Joe Girardi.

Austin Romine replaced Sanchez and finished the at-bat with a walk. Romine would likely start most games at catcher in Sanchez's absence.

Sanchez became a sensation in 2016 when he hit .299/.376/.657 with 20 home runs in just 53 games. He finished second in American League Rookie of the Year voting and started this season as the Yankees' No. 2 hitter.
