ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is likely headed to the disabled after pulling up while running out a double-play grounder Sunday at Tampa Bay.Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sanchez hurt his right groin/hip abductor and "it's probably going to be a DL situation."Sanchez was injured in the 10th inning. He slowly walked back to the dugout and was replaced defensively by Austin Romine."What can I say?" Sanchez said through a translator. "That's the way baseball is sometimes. Now I'm just hoping it's not a long time."Sanchez will undergo an MRI exam Monday.The 25-year-old Sanchez went 0 for 4 in the 7-6, 12-inning loss. He's hitting only .190 with 14 home runs and 41 RBIs, a season after he made the AL All-Star team while batting .278 with 33 homers and 90 RBIs.The Yankees have the best record in the majors at 50-25.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees right-hander Masahiro Tanaka has cleared a key hurdle in his rehab program for strained right and left hamstrings, throwing 26 pitches in his first bullpen session.Tanaka, sidelined since getting hurt June 8 while running the bases in a game, threw before Sunday's game at Tampa Bay."I was kind of being a little bit cautious about it," Tanaka said through a translator. "But it turned out that I didn't feel anything."Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tanaka will throw off a mound again Tuesday at New York's spring training complex in Tampa. That lines Tanaka up to pitch in a simulated game Friday."Went well," Boone said. "Encouraging sign. It looks like he's doing well."Tanaka is 7-2 with a 4.58 ERA in 13 starts."The arm strength is still there," Tanaka said. "Was able to really throw with some force on it."Tanaka could rejoin the Yankees, who have the majors' best record, before the All-Star break next month.___More AP baseball: https://apnews.com/tag/MLBbaseball

NEW YORK (AP) — Clayton Kershaw was encouraged by how he felt after a shaky, abbreviated return to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night.Kershaw came off the disabled list and allowed two runs in three innings against the New York Mets.
