Blue Jays outfielder exits game after fan-thrown ball bruises wrist

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jesus Sánchez left Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles after a ball thrown from the stands struck his right wrist. The incident occurred in the sixth inning of Baltimore's 9-5 victory. Sánchez had glanced toward fans in the right-field bleachers during a stoppage in play when the ball was tossed and hit him.

Injury details Sánchez said through an interpreter that the throw resulted from a misunderstanding. "I wasn't trying to play catch right there," he said. "I just looked at them, and they thought maybe that I want them to throw the ball. " X-rays were negative.

Sánchez wore a bandage after the game and stated the injury was minor. "It hurts a little bit, but thank God it's nothing bad or a fracture," he said.
