Blue Jays' Sánchez Wrist Bruised by Fan Ball

The incident occurred in the sixth inning when Sánchez was talking to fans in the right field bleachers. A youngster threw the ball, apparently misunderstanding Sánchez's gesture as an invitation to play catch. 'I wasn't trying to play catch right there,' Sánchez said through an interpreter. 'I just looked at them, and they thought maybe that I want them to throw the ball. It was a complete misunderstanding.' X-rays on Sánchez's wrist were negative, and he expects to remain in the lineup. 'It hurts a little bit, but thank God it's nothing bad or a fracture,' he said. The Orioles have identified the fan and are conducting an investigation into the incident. saltysenoritaaz.com
