Health experts recommend adults get seven or more hours of sleep for proper rest and recovery. That's nowhere near enough rest for Blue Jays pitcher Yusei Kikuchi.
According to The Athletic’s Kaitlyn McGrath, the fifth-year major leaguer claims that he typically sleeps 13 to 14 hours per night. Kikuchi pitched well in Tuesday's start against the Yankees, allowing one run and four hits with seven strikeouts over five innings.
But the left-hander had to leave the game after five innings due to cramps and he claims that's because he only got 11 hours of sleep Monday night.
