Sixto Sanchez Continues To Throw Bullpens
3 months agoMiami Marlins right-hander Sixto Sanchez (shoulder) continues to build intensity with his throwing and bullpen sessions. Sanchez has been doing the same thing for about a month while he recovers from right-shoulder inflammation that put him on the injured list all the way back on June 2. Because of his history with shoulder injuries, the Marlins are understandably slow-playing his rehab in a lost season. Barring a setback, though, the 26-year-old should be able to rejoin the big-league pitching staff before the end of August. Half of Sanchez's 14 appearances earlier this year came in a starting role, and he went 0-3 with a 6.06 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, 17 strikeouts and 14 walks in his first big-league action since making his MLB debut in the shortened 2020 season. When Sanchez returns to the Marlins to close out the year, he's likely to pitch in a relief role.
