Blue Jays' Sanchez Hurt by Fan-Thrown Ball

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jesus Sanchez left Sunday's game against Baltimore with a bruised right wrist after being hit by a ball thrown from the stands.

During the sixth inning of Baltimore's 9-5 victory, Sanchez was hit by a ball thrown by a young fan who wanted to play catch. The incident was a misunderstanding, as the fan thought Sanchez was inviting them to play. afrikasportnews.co.za

X-rays on Sanchez's wrist were negative, and he expects to play in the next game. The Orioles have identified the fan and removed them from the ballpark while conducting an investigation.
