Sixto Sanchez Continuing Bullpen Progression
2 months agoMiami Marlins right-hander Sixto Sanchez (shoulder) is continuing his bullpen progression at the team's spring training complex in Jupiter, Fla. Sanchez experienced a dip in his velocity during a May 31 start against the Texas Rangers and was placed on the injured list on June 2 with right-shoulder inflammation before eventually being moved to the 60-day IL on June 25. He has a long history of serious shoulder injuries, including two surgeries that caused him to miss three full seasons from 2021-23. The 26-year-old former top prospect has been throwing bullpens since late June, but it's understandable while the Marlins are in no rush to bring him back in a lost season. It would be a big surprise if we see Sanchez pitching in relief for the Fish in the big leagues again this year, and he'll enter the 2025 season well off the fantasy radar.
