Gary Sanchez News: Heading to bench for series finale

Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Maverick Handley will get the nod behind the plate Sunday, but Sanchez started the previous two contests and is poised to serve as the Orioles' top backstop for the next few weeks with Adley Rutschman (oblique) out through the All-Star break. Sanchez has turned in a .213/.296/.340 slash line with two home runs and 11 RBI in 54 plate appearances on the season, and while that level of production hasn't been impressive, the absence of Rutschman puts Sanchez on the radar as a pickup in fantasy leagues that require two catchers.
