Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Expected to miss 8-to-10 weeks
Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Monday that Sanchez (knee) is likely to be sidelined 8-to-10 weeks, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Sanchez was diagnosed with a moderate PCL sprain in his right knee over the weekend and will be shelved for at least a couple months. The Orioles are also without Adley Rutschman (oblique), Maverick Handley (concussion) and Chadwick Tromp (back), leaving them with Jacob Stallings and Alex Jackson at catcher.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Becomes fourth O's catcher on IL
The Orioles placed Sanchez on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a sprained right knee.
Sanchez was removed from Saturday's game with right knee pain and was sent for an MRI, which revealed a sprain. The severity of the injury isn't yet known but Sanchez will be out through at least the All-Star break, becoming the fourth Orioles catcher to hit the injured list along with Adley Rutschman (oblique), Maverick Handley (concussion) and Chadwick Tromp (back). In desperate need of depth behind the plate, the Orioles acquired Alex Jackson from the Yankees on Sunday and added him to the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster. Jacob Stallings and Jackson will serve as the Orioles' catching tandem until the team gets at least one of the injured backstops back from the IL.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Out with moderate knee sprain
Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Sunday that Sanchez has been diagnosed with a moderate PCL sprain in his right knee, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Mansolino didn't offer up a timeline for Sanchez's return from the 10-day injured list, but given that his knee sprain isn't viewed as mild, the 33-year-old backstop seems unlikely to be ready to play when he's first eligible for activation at the start of the second half. Sanchez became the fourth Orioles catcher to hit the IL, joining Adley Rutschman (oblique), Maverick Handley (concussion) and Chadwick Tromp (back). None of the injured backstops have resumed baseball activities, so Jacob Stallings and the newly acquired Alex Jackson appear poised to serve as Baltimore's catching tandem though at least the All-Star break.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Removed with knee pain
Sanchez was pulled from Saturday's game against Atlanta due to right knee pain, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
It's unclear how Sanchez injured his knee, but he made an early exit in the fifth inning and is scheduled to undergo an MRI. With Adley Rutschman (oblique), Maverick Handley (concussion) and Chadwick Tromp (back) all on the injured list, Jacob Stallings would benefit from additional playing time if Sanchez has to miss a few starts.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Back in lineup at designated hitter
Sanchez (finger) will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in Wednesday's game versus the Rangers.
Sanchez exited Tuesday's 10-2 loss and underwent X-rays after a foul tip struck one of his fingers. The tests came back negative, and Sanchez is feeling well enough to handle a non-defensive role in Wednesday's series finale. Jacob Stallings will draw the start at catcher for Baltimore.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Getting X-rays on finger
Sanchez will receive X-rays on his finger after getting hit on his finger by a ball Tuesday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
A foul tip connected with Sanchez's finger in the eighth inning, which caused him to leave the game early for a pinch hitter in the ninth. Interim manager Tony Mansolino said after the game that there's minimal concern surrounding Sanchez's finger, so the X-rays are most likely a precautionary measure. If the 32-year-old backstop is unable to play Wednesday, Jacob Stallings would fill in behind the plate.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Drives in four runs in blowout win
Sanchez went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, two additional RBI and three runs scored during Friday's 22-8 win over the Rays.
Sanchez contributed to seven of the Orioles' 22 runs in Friday's blowout, including a two-run home run off Eric Orze in the fifth inning to give Baltimore a one-run lead. Sanchez tied a season high with four RBI and has recorded at least one hit in eight of 10 games since returning from the injured list in mid-June. He'll continue to serve as the Orioles' primary backstop until Adley Rutschman (oblique) returns from the IL, which isn't expected to happen until after the All-Star break.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Brutal defensive night in loss
Sanchez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Rangers.
While the 32-year-old flexed his muscles by taking Chris Martin deep in the seventh inning to get the Orioles on the board, Sanchez arguably cost his team more runs than he created. Texas went 5-for-5 on steal attempts against the backstop, including three by Sam Haggerty after he entered the game in the eighth inning as a pinch hitter, and Sanchez also struggled to protect the plate -- the Rangers' first run came when he couldn't corral a Ramon Laureano throw in the fourth inning as Corey Seager scored from second on a single, and the game-winning run came when Sanchez was a heartbeat slow to tag Evan Carter on a fielder's choice. Sanchez has gone 5-for-15 with five RBI in five games since Adley Rutschman (oblique) was sidelined, but his hold on the starting job could slip if his defensive work remains subpar.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Heading to bench for series finale
Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Maverick Handley will get the nod behind the plate Sunday, but Sanchez started the previous two contests and is poised to serve as the Orioles' top backstop for the next few weeks with Adley Rutschman (oblique) out through the All-Star break. Sanchez has turned in a .213/.296/.340 slash line with two home runs and 11 RBI in 54 plate appearances on the season, and while that level of production hasn't been impressive, the absence of Rutschman puts Sanchez on the radar as a pickup in fantasy leagues that require two catchers.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Drives in two runs
Sanchez went 2-for-3 with a two-run single in Friday's 5-3 win over the Yankees.
Sanchez got the Orioles on the board early with a two-run single in the first inning. He has started in four games since returning from a wrist injury June 14, and over that span he has gone 6-for-14 (.429) with five runs scored, two home runs and seven RBI.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Smacks grand slam in win
Sanchez went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and an additional run scored in Sunday's 11-2 win over the Angels.
Sanchez broke the game open, launching a grand slam off Connor Brogdon that extended Baltimore's lead to 9-2 with two outs in the seventh inning. The 32-year-old Sanchez has homered in back-to-back games following a nearly two-month stint on the IL. Overall, Sanchez has gone 6-for-37 (.162) with a .580 OPS across 43 plate appearances this year. While he'll primarily serve as Adley Rutschman's backup, Sanchez should see additional playing time at DH.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Goes yard in return
Sanchez (wrist) went 1-for-3 with a home run and a hit-by-pitch during Saturday's 6-5 win over the Orioles.
Sanchez left the yard for the first time this season in his first game back off the injured list. He'll be called upon to spell Adley Rutschman occasionally behind the plate, but his other playing time will have to come at the DH position. If the slugging catcher wants time there, his numbers will have to improve. In a small, 33-at-bat sample size, he is slashing .121/.231/.212 on the season.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Activated off IL
The Orioles reinstated Sanchez (wrist) off the injured list Saturday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Sanchez had been on the IL since late April due to a wrist injury. He progressed to a minor-league rehab stint in early June and batted .364 (8-for-22) with three home runs, eight RBI and six runs with Triple-A Norfolk. Sanchez is now set to retake backup catcher duties for Baltimore behind Adley Rutschman. Fellow backstop Maverick Handley was optioned to Norfolk in a corresponding move. Sanchez is starting at DH and batting seventh Saturday in his return, per Jake Rill of MLB.com.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Could be activated this week
Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Thursday that Sanchez (wrist) has a chance to be activated before the conclusion of the team's homestand Sunday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Sanchez is 8-for-20 with three home runs in six rehab games with Triple-A Norfolk and is coming along more quickly than expected. He's been shelved since late April due to right wrist inflammation but looks to have a good shot to return for this weekend's series against the Angels.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Cleared for rehab assignment
Sanchez (wrist) was assigned to Triple-A Norfolk to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Sanchez has been sidelined since late April due to a right wrist inflammation but has been cleared to play in games. He could rejoin the Orioles' active roster as soon as this weekend, depending on how many rehab games he needs to get back up to speed.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Taking BP on field
Sanchez (wrist) participated in on-field batting practice Monday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Sanchez has been sidelined since April 28 due to right wrist inflammation, but he's been making solid progress in his recovery. Considering he's been out for almost a month, Sanchez will likely require a rehab assignment before being activated from the 10-day injured list.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Lands on IL with wrist injury
The Orioles placed Sanchez on the 10-day injured list Monday due to right wrist inflammation.
Sanchez may have picked up the injury during the weekend series against the Tigers, during which he went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in two games. To add backstop depth behind Adley Rutschman, the Orioles selected Maverick Handley's contract from Triple-A Norfolk. Sanchez will undergo further tests to determine a timeline for his return.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Collects first hit of season
Sanchez went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Saturday's game against the Royals.
Sanchez drew his third start of the season Saturday and recorded his first hit of the campaign on a two-RBI single in the second inning. He's started every third game behind the dish to give Adley Rutschman rest, and he's likely to remain strictly a backup given the presence of Rutschman and Baltimore's wide range of options at designated hitter.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Gets second start of the season
Sanchez will start at catcher and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.
Sanchez will draw his second start through the Orioles' first six games of the season. With Adley Rutschman likely to shoulder one of the heavier workloads among catchers league-wide this season, Sanchez's playing time could be sporadic so long as Rutschman maintains good health.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Back in action Thursday
Sanchez (illness) will start at catcher and bat seventh in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Sanchez has been out since Monday due to an illness, but he seems to have recovered ahead of Thursday's contest. The 32-year-old backstop is 2-for-10 with two walks and five strikeouts so far this spring, and he still projects to make the Opening Day roster as Adley Rutschman's backup.
