What happened: Gary Sánchez was involved in an injury delay during the bottom of the fourth inning, with the score 1-0. Play paused while he was attended to on the field.

Why it matters: Any in-game stoppage involving a regular contributor carries roster and lineup stakes, since an extended absence would force a midstream adjustment behind the plate and in the batting order.

What to watch: Watch for word on whether Sánchez stays in the game or is replaced, and for any post-game update on his status.
