The Blue Jays have been plagued by injuries this season, and their woes only worsened on Sunday after outfielder Jesus Sánchez was forced to exit the game.
The injury to Sánchez was truly bizarre. While Sánchez was out in right field, a fan in the stands at Oriole Park appeared to throw a baseball onto the field. The ball struck Sánchez directly in the right arm, and he immediately reacted as if he was in discomfort. Jays manager John Schneider and a member of the training staff went to check on Sánchez, who was subsequently removed from the game. As Sánchez exited the field, he was seen gingerly clutching his right arm.
