The Toronto Blue Jays placed outfielder Jesus Sanchez on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right ankle sprain. Sanchez left Friday’s 5-4 loss to the visiting Texas Rangers after rolling his ankle while making a catch in the top of the seventh inning. Initial X-rays were negative.
The team also called up infield prospect Sean Keys and outfielder Yohendrick Pinango from Triple-A Buffalo and optioned outfielder Davis Schneider to Buffalo. Keys, 23, was in the starting lineup for his major league debut Saturday against the Rangers, playing first base and batting sixth.
Sanchez, 28, is batting .274 with seven home runs and 29 RBIs in 73 games in his first season with the Blue Jays, who acquired him in a Feb. 13 trade that sent outfielder Joey Loperfido to the Houston Astros. Keys is ranked as the No. 14 prospect in the Toronto system by MLB Pipeline.
