Sanchez (groin) hasn't yet begun his rehab assignment despite the initial plan being for him to start it Thursday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Sanchez wasn't in the lineup for the Yankees' GCL affiliates on either Thursday or Friday. There haven't been reports of a setback, so it's possible that the team has simply elected to give him a few more days to rest, though as recently as Wednesday manager Aaron Boone was saying that his catcher would begin his assignment Thursday. The groin injury has been a troublesome one for Sanchez, as he returned from it July 20 only to head back to the disabled list three games later, so the Yankees certainly have reason to be cautious.
