Blue Jays' Sánchez Hurt by Fan Ball

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jesús Sánchez suffered a right wrist bruise Sunday after being struck by a ball thrown by a 12-year-old fan during a game against Baltimore.

Sanchez left the game in the sixth inning of Baltimore's 9-5 victory when a child in the bleachers threw a ball that struck his wrist. The fan had apparently misinterpreted playful gestures from Sanchez as an invitation to play catch.

X-rays on Sanchez's wrist were negative, and he expects to remain in the lineup. The fan was identified and removed from the ballpark as the Orioles conduct an investigation into the incident. turconews.click
