Right-handed pitcher Sixto Sánchez will undergo season-ending surgery after an MRI revealed a small tear in the posterior capsule of his right shoulder, according to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. The Miami Marlins are hopeful Sánchez will be ready for the start of spring training in 2022.
Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reported that a source told him that Sánchez had suffered a tear in March. In hopes of avoiding surgery, rehab was recommended. Now, 2021 is a lost season for the former Phillies top pitching prospect.
