Bad luck instead of blisters were the culprit in 2018, with Aaron Sanchez sustaining a bruised right index finger due to a suitcase accident, causing him to miss over two months of the season.
It’s hard to determine how 2019 will play out for Sanchez and the Blue Jays, but there are reasons to believe that he can still turn it around and have the dominant career that scouts foresaw for him not too long ago.
To get an idea, one should look no further than former Blue Jays pitcher Al Leiter.
