Gary Sanchez Goes On Injured List With Calf Injury
5 months agoMilwaukee Brewers catcher Gary Sanchez (calf) is dealing with a low-grade left-calf strain and will go on the 10-day injured list. In a corresponding move, the Brewers are calling up Eric Haase from the minors to serve as the backup to William Contreras. Sanchez's injury isn't all that serious, so there's a chance that he'll be able to come off the injured list when he's eligible on July 4. The 31-year-old right-handed-hitting backstop resurfaced with the San Diego Padres in 2023, when he hit 19 home runs, but he's playing second fiddle to Contreras in Milwaukee this year and is currently batting .218 (32-for-147) in 51 games. However, he's still hit seven home runs and has maintained utility in two-catcher fantasy leagues because of his pop at a shallow position. For now, Haase will back up Contreras for the Brew Crew.
