Sanchez feels ready to start Sunday vs. Rays after successful side session
TORONTO — Blue Jays right-hander Aaron Sanchez remains on pace to come off the disabled list and start Sunday’s game after throwing a successful side session on Friday.
Sanchez, who landed on the 10-day DL with a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand, underwent a procedure last week to remove part of the nail on the finger.
He threw 22 pitches during Friday’s side session.
“Everything was good,” Sanchez said of the throwing session. “Mechanics were good, the ball came out easy. No pain around the finger. No pain around any of the nail. So it’s back to hopefully the schedule as planned.”
