Sanchez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run against the White Sox in a 9-5 win Monday.
Sanchez went 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts in his first three plate appearances, but he redeemed himself in the eighth inning with a three-run blast to left field that increased New York's lead from two runs to five. The home run was the first of the journeyman's big-league career in his 75th regular-season game. The Yankees have faced a left-handed starter on four consecutive days, and Sanchez has started three of those contests, so he appears to be working on the short side of a platoon with Austin Wells behind the plate.

The Yankees activated Sanchez from the paternity leave list Friday.
Sanchez missed the last three contests as he welcomed a new baby to the family. He's now ready to resume his role as the Yankees' backup catcher behind Austin Wells.

The Yankees placed Sanchez (wrist) on the paternity leave list Tuesday.
Sanchez will be away from the club for a few days while welcoming a new baby to the family. The catcher exited Monday's contest versus the Tigers after being hit on the right wrist by a pitch. X-rays came back clean, but Sanchez still needs to undergo a CT scan, so it's possible he'll need to miss additional time after he's back from paternity leave.

Sanchez took X-rays immediately following his early departure from Monday's game which came back negative, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
After being replaced by Austin Wells in the top of the seventh, Sanchez's X-rays on his right wrist came back negative. Manager Aaron Boone said the catcher will go for a CT scan and is hopeful that this is just a "day to day thing."

The Yankees selected Sanchez's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
The Yankees will swap out J.C. Escarra for Sanchez in an effort to find any sort of offensive production from the catcher position. Sanchez has posted just a .454 OPS in his MLB career but has been serviceable in the minors this year with a .227 batting average and .702 OPS through 147 plate appearances.

The Yankees will recall Sanchez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
The Yankees sent J.C. Escarra down to Triple-A shortly after Friday's game, so Sanchez will join the active roster to take over as New York's backup catcher. The 29-year-old owns just a .454 OPS across 133 plate appearances in his big-league career but has slashed .227/.327/.375 with six homers, 11 RBI and 18 runs in 40 games at Triple-A this year.
