It would really suck if Yolmer Sanchez is out for any period of time after this scary-looking play against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday. The Chicago White Sox infielder was trying to leg out an infield single in the 13th inning, but his left knee collided with the first baseman’s knee and then Sanchez tumbled to the ground in pain after taking an awkward step on the bag.
Sanchez was on the ground for a couple minutes, as he was examined by the White Sox trainer. The good news for now is that Sanchez managed to walk off under his own power, although he did it very slowly.

Sanchez may not have the best stats on the White Sox, but he’s certainly been an entertaining player to watch. In a season filled with losing, he’s been a bright spot on the South Side, so let’s hope it’s nothing more than a sore knee for Sanchez.
Here’s the first update.
Yolmer Sánchez is day to day with a left quad contusion
