NEW YORK — Cristopher Sánchez was supposed to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday. The Phillies will instead save his arm for later tonight, when he will be available out of the bullpen.
Expect Sánchez to be good for around 30-35 pitches, which is what Sánchez typically throws on his side session day.
Ranger Suárez will start a must-win Game 4 of the National League Division Series against the New York Mets at Citi Field, but it should be evident early on what version of the lefty pitcher the Phillies are getting. If he looks like his early season self, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the him face the Mets order more than one time through.
