Gary Sanchez’s status with Yankees has completely changed
NY Post
MINNEAPOLIS — It’s been about six weeks since the Yankees took Gary Sanchez’s starting role away from him.
The move came a month into what was shaping up as a brutal regular season for Sanchez. But in the ensuing weeks, Sanchez has reclaimed his starting role. And while the power and consistency at the plate Sanchez showed in 2016, ’17 and at times in 2019 haven’t completely returned, Sanchez is now much lower on the list of Yankee concerns. In 26 games since Aaron Boone called the team’s catching situation “a day-by-day thing” and said Kyle Higashioka had “earned more playing time,” Sanchez has five doubles, four homers and an OPS of .781. He’s also struck out 32 times, but the Yankees will live with that if the production is there.
