Yankees Recall Catcher Ali Sánchez, Option Escarra to Triple‑A

The New York Yankees will promote right‑handed catcher Ali Sánchez on Saturday while optioning J. C.

Escarra to Triple‑A Scranton/Wilkes‑Barre; the move aims to bolster depth. Sánchez, 28, has logged a.

250 batting average with four RBIs over his last 12 games, providing a solid backup behind the plate. Escarra, a versatile infielder, will head to Triple‑A to receive regular at‑bats and refine his defensive work.
