NEW YORK -- The Blue Jays placed Aaron Sanchez on the 10-day disabled list Monday as the right-hander continues to battle issues with his troublesome right middle finger. Toronto remains confident that the surgical procedure Sanchez underwent two weeks ago, in which he had part of his fingernail removed, should ultimately solve the issue that has sidelined him for most of this season.
But Sanchez lasted just one inning in his start Sunday against the Rays before that nail split horizontally, forcing him to leave the game. A combination of six relievers combined to finish the final eight innings after Sanchez exited in a 3-1 victory.
