UPDATE: OF Jesús Sánchez was removed from today's game with a right wrist contusion. He underwent precautionary X-rays

What happened: Outfielder Jesús Sánchez was removed from Wednesday's game after suffering a right wrist contusion. The club said he underwent precautionary X-rays, which came back negative for a fracture.

Why it matters: Avoiding a fracture is the best-case outcome, but a wrist contusion can linger for a hitter and quietly drain power at the plate. The bigger question is how much time, if any, Sánchez misses and how that reshapes the outfield mix in the days ahead.

What to watch: Watch for an updated timeline and whether Sánchez avoids the injured list or needs a day or two before returning to the lineup.
