Gary Sanchez Suffers Fractured Wrist
1 year agoSan Diego Padres catcher Gary Sanchez (wrist) has been diagnosed with a fractured wrist, according to manager Bob Melvin. Sanchez will now miss the rest of the regular season after joining the Padres on May 21. The 30-year-old former Yankees backstop was a key acquisition in the first half of the season, and his bat kept the disappointing Padres afloat for much of the year. The Dominican catcher hit just .219 (52-for-238) in 71 games with the Friars, but he also added 19 home runs, 46 RBI and 33 runs scored in 257 plate appearances as the team's primary catcher for the majority of the season. With Sanchez now out to close out 2023, Luis Campusano will become San Diego's primary catcher.
