Aaron Sanchez's Finger Looks Fine
Aaron Sanchez (finger) made his return to the mound in spring action on Sunday, and he was able to throw his sinker in the upper-90s. Sanchez threw 22 pitches and consistently hit the mid-90s on the radar gun for the first time since July 19. While the right-hander's command was a bit off, there were no signs of the blister issues that limited him to just 36 innings last year. "I think my finger is in a good spot," Sanchez said. "There were no issues today. I didn't even hesitate, to look at it once, nothing on my fingers gave me discomfort. Everything I was trying to accomplish that way was good. The competitor in me wasn't happy with the other side. It's about finding a balance. I'll take today with a grain of salt and just move forward." While we'd like to see a bit more from Sanchez before declaring him all the way back, this was a good sign. If healthy, Sanchez could bounce back in a huge way after a breakout 2016 season when he had a 3.00 ERA in 192 innings.
