Blue Jays' Sánchez Hurt by Fan's Ball Throw

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jesús Sánchez left Sunday's game against Baltimore Orioles with a right wrist bruise after being hit by a ball thrown from the stands by a young fan who misunderstood his gesture.

The incident occurred in the sixth inning of Baltimore's 9-5 victory. Sánchez was looking toward the right field bleachers when a child threw a ball that struck his wrist. The outfielder clarified through an interpreter that he wasn't trying to play catch, merely looking at fans, which the youngster misinterpreted as an invitation to toss the ball back and forth. milkshakeslot.online

X-rays on Sánchez's wrist were negative, and the player expects to remain in the lineup despite some pain. "It hurts a little bit, but thank God it's nothing bad or a fracture," Sánchez said. The Orioles have identified the fan and removed them from the ballpark while conducting an investigation. Both teams' managers believe it was a harmless misunderstanding with no malicious intent.
