The bad news is, Freddy Sanchez had to leave yesterday’s game when he tried to turn a double play and wrenched his knee. The good news is, the MRI came up fine and instead of something really bad happening, Sanchez will just have to sit out a couple of games. If the Pirates were smart, they’d lean towards caution here. It’s early spring and there’s no sense in testing Sanchez too much. Make sure the knee is fine, then bring him back, nice and easy.
A lot of people contend that the spring season is too long and every once in a while, something like this happens. You just hate to have it happen to someone on your team.
