Sanchez (finger) has been confirmed as Saturday's starter against the A's.
EDGE Analysis
A broken fingernail cut short Sanchez's last outing after 59 pitches, but manager Charlie Montoyo said immediately after that game that he expected Sanchez to make his next start, and it seems Sanchez made it through subsequent throwing sessions with no major issues. The results have been pristine for Sanchez through five starts (2.77 ERA), but he's walking batters at an alarming rate early on (14.6 percent).

Sanchez was removed from Sunday's game against the Athletics with a broken fingernail.
EDGE Analysis
Sanchez was lifted after throwing just 59 pitches and was seen glancing at his fingers earlier in the game. He had been pitching fairly well this season, posting a 2.77 ERA across 26 innings to go along with 23 strikeouts and 16 walks. However, given his lengthy history with blisters, this is potentially troubling news.

Sanchez left Sunday's game against the Athletics after 59 pitches with an apparent finger injury, Andrew Stoeten of the Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sanchez was pitching well, allowing just one earned run on two hits and three walks across his four innings of work, but he was seen glancing at his fingers prior to being pulled. There's no official word yet, but the potential injury is concerning given Sanchez's history with blisters.

Sanchez allowed four runs (one earned) on five hits and four walks while striking out five across five innings Thursday against the Red Sox. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Sanchez pitched two clean innings to begin his start but ran into trouble in the third. Though the majority of his runs were unearned after an error by Randal Grichuk allowed the leadoff runner to reach base, Sanchez allowed two doubles and a single later in the inning to account for three of the four runs he allowed. He also struggled with his command, and has now walked nine batters in 16 innings this season.

Sanchez (1-1) took the loss after allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings Thursday against the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Sanchez posted yet another impressive showing, surrendering his only two runs of the contest in the fourth inning on a pair of hits. The 26-year-old has given up just two runs and has fanned 11 over 11 frames in his first two starts of the 2019 campaign. Sanchez will aim for a better end result in his next appearance Thursday in Boston.

Sanchez tossed six scoreless innings in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles, allowing only one hit and two walks while striking out three.
EDGE Analysis
The outing lowered his spring ERA to 1.53, although Sanchez's 7:2 K:BB through 17.2 innings is decidedly lackluster. The right-hander may not be headed for a breakout campaign, but staying healthy and returning to something like the form he showed in 2016 remains a plausible goal.
