Blue Jays' Sánchez Injured by Fan Toss

Blue Jays outfielder Jesús Sánchez left Sunday's game against Baltimore with a right wrist bruise after being struck by a ball thrown from the stands by a young fan.

The incident occurred in the sixth inning when a youngster tossed a ball to Sánchez, who was looking toward the right field bleachers. The Blue Jays outfielder, who received negative X-rays on his wrist, expects to continue playing despite the injury.

Both teams confirmed the fan, identified and removed by stadium security, had no malicious intent. 'It was a complete misunderstanding,' Sánchez said. 'I wasn't trying to play catch right there. I just looked at them, and they thought maybe that I want them to throw the ball.' iwanktv.club
