Sixto Sanchez is reportedly dealing with another injury

Former Phillies top pitching prospect Sixto Sánchez flashed some serious potential during his debut season in 2020. He routinely hit 100 mph with his fastball and when he was able to throw strikes consistently, opposing batters looked wildly overmatched against his stuff. Sánchez even threw a complete game against his former club and threw five scoreless innings in the 2020 wild-card round against the Cubs.

But ever since he struggled in a start against the Braves in the 2020 Division Series, Sánchez has yet to take the mound in a meaningful game.
