The Yankees placed Sanchez (wrist) on the paternity leave list Tuesday.
Sanchez will be away from the club for a few days while welcoming a new baby to the family. The catcher exited Monday's contest versus the Tigers after being hit on the right wrist by a pitch. X-rays came back clean, but Sanchez still needs to undergo a CT scan, so it's possible he'll need to miss additional time after he's back from paternity leave.
