NEW YORK — Cristopher Sanchez showed up to the ballpark on Wednesday morning feeling normal. It doesn't mean he's out of the woods yet, but it's better than the alternative after he left Tuesday's game with left forearm tightness. "Nothing really other than he feels normal, that's what he said," manager Rob Thomson said Wednesday morning.

"I haven't had a report from the trainers yet. He actually wanted to play catch today. I don't know whether they're gonna let him.



The last I'd heard, they just want him to rest today and that gives him tomorrow with the day off and then we start up again on Friday." Sanchez threw 58 pitches over two innings in Tuesday's loss. His velocity was down, his command was off and he didn't feel comfortable from the time he warmed up in the bullpen.

Catcher J.T. Realmuto could tell something was up but thought it might be a finger issue Sanchez has dealt with.
