Gary Sanchez Injury: Cleared for rehab assignment

Sanchez (wrist) was assigned to Triple-A Norfolk to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Sanchez has been sidelined since late April due to a right wrist inflammation but has been cleared to play in games. He could rejoin the Orioles' active roster as soon as this weekend, depending on how many rehab games he needs to get back up to speed.
