TORONTO -- Right-hander Aaron Sanchez is scheduled to throw for the first time since hitting the disabled list on Monday, marking the biggest step in his rehab from a blister.
This is the third time Sanchez has been on the disabled list in 2017, twice for blisters and once for a split fingernail. All three of the injuries have been to his right middle finger, which has impacted his ability to throw breaking pitches effectively.
To stay fresh, manager John Gibbons said Sanchez has been doing everything but throwing a baseball, including the towel drill in the bullpen.
