Catcher Gary Sanchez has been recalled by the Yankees from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and could see time at designated hitter as part of the team’s youth movement.
The Yankees announced the move before Wednesday’s game against the Mets. With the Subway Series moving to the Bronx, the DH was once again in use.
Sanchez will be the DH against Steven Matz and bat eighth against the Mets.
