Gary Sanchez Injury: Becomes fourth O's catcher on IL

The Orioles placed Sanchez on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a sprained right knee.

Sanchez was removed from Saturday's game with right knee pain and was sent for an MRI, which revealed a sprain. The severity of the injury isn't yet known but Sanchez will be out through at least the All-Star break, becoming the fourth Orioles catcher to hit the injured list along with Adley Rutschman (oblique), Maverick Handley (concussion) and Chadwick Tromp (back). In desperate need of depth behind the plate, the Orioles acquired Alex Jackson from the Yankees on Sunday and added him to the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster. Jacob Stallings and Jackson will serve as the Orioles' catching tandem until the team gets at least one of the injured backstops back from the IL.
