Sanchez (finger) resumed playing catch this week but doesn't have a defined timeline for a return from the 10-day disabled list, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez was optimistic he wouldn't have to miss any turns through the rotation after he suffered a right index finger contusion in his June 21 start against the Angels, but he was placed on the DL just two days later. Now two weeks removed from the injury and having yet to progress to mound work, Sanchez doesn't look especially close to a return and could be shut down through the All-Star break. Ryan Borucki, who was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo following Sanchez's placement on the DL, is scheduled to make his third start in Sanchez's stead Sunday against the Yankees.

Sanchez (finger) will miss at least one more turn in the rotation, meaning he won't be able to return until next weekend at the earliest, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Next weekend's series against the Yankees would be the earliest he could return, but even that is not guaranteed. This likely means that Ryan Borucki will get another turn in the rotation Monday against the Tigers.

Manager John Gibbons said Sanchez (finger) will play catch Wednesday and throw a side session Friday in order to determine when he will return to the Blue Jays' rotation, Mike Wilner of BlueJaysTalk reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez suffered a right index finger contusion during Thursday's start, which wound up requiring a stay on the 10-day disabled list. The 25-year-old will be eligible to come off the DL on Monday, though there should be an update on his status following Friday's throwing session. If he's unable to take the mound by Tuesday, expect Ryan Borucki to make another start for Toronto.

Sanchez will undergo an MRI on his bruised right finger, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez's finger is reportedly just jammed and bruised, though it appears the Blue Jays may be worried that something worse has happened. A full picture of his injury should become clear after the results of the MRI are known.

Sanchez was placed on the 10-day disabled list Saturday with a right index finger contusion.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez reportedly suffered the injury prior to his start Thursday against the Angels. He was optimistic that we wouldn't have to miss his next start but will end up being out until at least July 2. The move makes room for Marcus Stroman's return from his shoulder injury.

Sanchez believes he won't miss a start after jamming his finger Thursday, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez is lined up to pitch Tuesday in Houston, but his status is uncertain after he was removed in the second inning of his start Thursday against the Angels. He reportedly suffered the injury before the game, though exactly how is not yet clear. His status should become more clear in the next few days.

Sanchez was removed from Thursday's game against the Angels with a right index finger contusion and X-rays came back negative.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez avoided any breaks in his index finger, but a contusion on a body part that pivotal to pitching is worrisome nonetheless. He labored through his lone inning of work and gave up two runs before being replaced by Joe Biagini. At this time it's unclear whether Sanchez will be ready to make his next scheduled start.

Sanchez exited Thursday's start in the second inning with an undisclosed issue.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays announced that they will have a further update once more information is available on Sanchez, who made it through one very erratic inning before leaving his start. Sanchez gave up two earned runs and threw more balls (13) than strikes (12). Joe Biagini will be tasked with bridging the gap in relief Thursday.

Sanchez didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 6-5 win over the Nationals, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over six innings while striking out eight.

EDGE Analysis

The eight Ks tied his season high as Sanchez delivered his third straight quality start and seventh of the season. The other four QS all came in a row to begin the month of April, which bodes well for his chances of keeping his current streak going in Thursday's road outing against the Angels.

Sanchez (3-5) did not factor in the decision against Baltimore on Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits across 6.1 innings. He struck out five and issued four walks.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez put together his second straight quality start although there was plenty of traffic on the bases Saturday. The 25-year-old now has a 4.33 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with 58 strikeouts over 72.2 innings, and is next scheduled to start against the Nationals on Friday.
