NEW YORK – Miami Marlins rookie Jesús Sánchez left Thursday night's game against the New York Mets in the middle of the third inning with right hamstring tightness.
Sánchez flied to deep left with two outs in the third and jogged up the first-base line while holding his bat and watching the ball, which was caught by Jeff McNeil.

Sánchez, a 23-year-old who made his big league debut in August 2020, is hitting .251 with 14 homers and 36 RBIs in 227 at-bats. He had singled leading off the second inning.
