After exiting Friday night's lo s to the Red Sox with back spasms, Gary Snchez is out of the lineup on Anthony Davis Jersey Saturday afternoon.With backup catcher Kyle Higashioka still on the COVID-19 injured list, Rob Brantly got the start in Snchez's place behind the plate. Brantly came in for Snchez in the sixth inning on Friday night at Fenway Park as well.Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday nightafter the 6-2 lo s to the Red Soxthat Snchez could potentially be available on Saturday. Considering the catcher didn't get a good night's sleep, still feeling "locked up" in his back the following morning, the skipper made the call to give him a day to rest and recuperate."Doing a little bit better today," Boone said Saturday afternoon. "He's been getting a lot of treatment today, going to move around now in the weight room as Brandon Ingram Jersey well. Hopefully we'll get him to where he's back in play for us tomorrow."With those improvements and all the treatment Josh Hart Jersey he's been getting, Snchez would be available on Saturday in an emergency situation, Boone said.Snchez has been hot and cold since the All-Star break, hitting .235 (4-for-17) with two home runs in six games.
