The news for other starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez is better. Sanchez will throw this weekend off a mound in Tampa when the Blue Jays go face the Tampa Bay Rays. Depending on how Sanchez’s nail responds, Sanchez could be back in the rotation as soon as the next homestand next week. The lack of real news as to what is wrong with J.A. Happ is somewhat concerning though.
Happ has been injured since he left the ball game on Sunday, April, 11th against the Baltimore Orioles. The injury was described as left elbow inflammation.
