Sixto Sanchez Could Throw Bullpen Soon
5 months agoMiami Marlins right-hander Sixto Sanchez (shoulder), who was rehabbing with the team in Kansas City as of Monday, will be evaluated for a bullpen session in a few days. Sanchez has been asymptomatic while throwing after experiencing a big dip in velocity in his May 31 start against the Texas Rangers. He was placed on the injured list on June 2 with right-shoulder inflammation. Sanchez has had a history of major shoulder problems, including two surgeries that caused him to miss three major-league seasons from 2021-23. It's good news that the 25-year-old could resume throwing bullpen sessions, but the Fish will surely be cautious with him given his injury history with his right shoulder. The Dominican hurler will need a minor-league rehab assignment, too, so it's likely that he won't be an option for Miami's rotation until after the All-Star break. He hasn't been much of a fantasy option in 2024, going 0-3 with a 6.06 ERA and 1.59 WHIP with just 17 K's in 35 2/3 frames.
