Hunter Harvey (forearm) and
Mason Thompson (biceps) are both throwing bullpen sessions in West Palm Beach as they rehab from their respective injuries. Veteran right-hander
Anibal Sanchez (neck) is in D.C. and is throwing up to 100 feet. He could resume throwing off a mound next week. There remains no timetable for any of these three hurlers. Harvey has been on the injured list since April 21 and has only tossed 2 2/3 relief innings this year before his injury. Sanchez, 38, was put on the injured list on April 11 with a cervical nerve impingement in his neck. The right-hander hasn't pitched in the big leagues since he posted a 6.62 ERA and 1.66 WHIP with Washington in 2020.

3 years agoThe Washington Nationals transferred starting pitcher
Anibal Sanchez (neck) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list on Tuesday. The veteran has yet to appear in a game for the Nats this year as he's been sidelined due to a cervical neck impingement. Following Tuesday's move, he won't be eligible to return to the majors until mid-June. The Nationals have one of the league's thinnest starting rotations, so if Sanchez is able to work his way back to game form, we'll likely see him in the team's rotation at some point this year. However, he isn't someone worth monitoring for fantasy purposes.

3 years agoAnibal Sanchez Placed On Injrued List
The Washington Nationals placed starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez (neck) on the injured list due to a cervical nerve impingement according to the Washington Post's Jesse Dougherty. Also per Dougherty, left-hander
Josh Rogers was recalled to take the veteran's spot in the rotation against the Atlanta Braves on Monday. Sanchez last pitched in the Majors during the 2020 season, working to a 6.62 ERA, a 5.46 FIP, 43 strikeouts, and 18 walks in 53 innings. In six starts spanning 35.2 innings for the club last season, Rogers turned in a 3.28 ERA and a 5.83 FIP while striking out 22 batters and walking 14. You're probably better off looking elsewhere for streaming options.

3 years agoWashington Nationals starting pitcher
Anibal Sanchez (neck) is dealing with a stiff neck and may not be able to make his start on Monday on the road against the Atlanta Braves after he felt it while throwing on Friday. The veteran right-hander's season debut may have to be pushed back a bit, and it remains to be seen if he'll need to go on the injured list. The 38-year-old will probably be very limited with his pitch count if he does end up making the start, and fantasy managers should stay away. Sanchez didn't pitch at all last year, had an ERA over 6.00 with the Nats in 2020 and wasn't very good in spring training, so he shouldn't really be on the fantasy radar in mixed leagues at this time.
