DETROIT - The Detroit Tigers saw what they needed to from Anibal Sanchez during four starts with Triple A Toledo.
Now it's time to see what he can do at the Major League level.
Before accepting a demotion to Toledo last month, Sanchez struggled during 11 appearances - all in relief - with the Tigers. He had a 9.00 ERA, 2.048 WHIP, 0-0 record, allowed nine home runs and struck out 22 in 21 innings.
