Blue Jays' Sánchez Injured by Fan Ball

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jesús Sánchez suffered a bruised right wrist during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles when a ball thrown from the stands by a young fan struck his wrist. The incident occurred in the sixth inning when Sánchez, who was looking at fans in the right field bleachers, was hit by a ball tossed by a child who apparently thought the player wanted to play catch.

X-rays on Sánchez's wrist were negative, and the outfielder expects to remain in the lineup despite some discomfort. The Orioles have identified the fan and are investigating the incident, which both teams confirmed was not intentional. Managers from both teams described it as a misunderstanding with no malicious intent. raccoongame.org
