Blue Jays' Sánchez Injured by Fan Ball

Blue Jays outfielder Jesús Sánchez sustained a bruised right wrist after being hit by a ball thrown by a 12-year-old fan during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The incident occurred in the sixth inning when Sánchez was looking toward the right field bleachers and the child apparently misinterpreted his glance as an invitation to play catch.

X-rays on Sánchez's wrist were negative, and he expects to continue playing. "It hurts a little bit, but thank God it's nothing bad or a fracture," Sánchez said. The Orioles identified and removed the fan from the ballpark while investigating the incident, with both teams describing it as a misunderstanding with no ill intent. catcross.biz
