Yankees say Gary Sanchez (groin) is likely headed to the disabled list

New York Yankees' manager Aaron Boone said after Sunday's game that catcher Gary Sanchez is likely heading to the disabled list with a groin strain.

What It Means:

Sanchez hurt his groin running to first base in the 10th inning on Sunday, and it's not yet known how long he might need to sit out. Austin Romine will likely take over every day catching duties while Sanchez is out. There is also a good chance the Yankees recall Kyle Higashioka to get some reps backing up Romine.

Before going down with injury, our models projected Sanchez for a .254 batting average with 12 home runs, 27 runs scored, and 31 RBI over 197 plate appearances remaining this season.

Caleb Smith leaves Marlins' Sunday game with shoulder tightness

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Caleb Smith was removed from Sunday's start against the Colorado Rockies due to left shoulder tightness.

What It Means:

It's never a good sign with a pitcher is removed from a game due to their pitching shoulder, but we'll have to wait and see if Smith is hurt enough to miss his next start. We should have an update from the Marlins within the next day or two. His next scheduled start is Friday.

If Smith is able to make his next start on Friday, our early models project him for 31.0 FanDuel points at a cost of $6,300.
