Sanchez targeting July 28 return: According to The Sports Xchange notes: RHP Anibal Sanchez allowed two runs and four hits in 4 1/3 innings for Class A Jupiter in his second rehab start, throwing 49 of his 70 pitches for strikes. He threw 13 of 19 first-pitch strikes. He struck out three and walked two. His velocity ranged from 88 to 93 mph. Sanchez, who threw a no-hitter in 2006, is trying to come back from shoulder surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff. He said he will start again for Jupiter on Sunday. That will be followed by at least two starts for Double-A Carolina. If those next three starts go well, he could join the Marlins' rotation by July 28 against the Mets. (Updated 07/09/2008).
Injury Report
Shoulder - 60-day DL. On Class A rehab assignment. Might return for July 28 start vs. N.Y. Mets (Updated - 7/9/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Sanchez is a sleeper DL stashee, especially because he is a talented young pitcher who could get a big-time opportunity in the season's final two months. The Marlins are surprisingly still in contention and they can score runs to make him a consistent winner down the stretch. Track his progress in his next three rehab outings. (Updated 07/09/2008).
