The Giants transferred Sanchez (biceps) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

After making his third rehab start at Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday, Sanchez looked to be close to rejoining the big club, but the Giants' decision to move him to the 60-day IL will delay his potential activation until early July. The Giants haven't indicated that Sanchez suffered a setback in his outing Thursday, even though he lasted just 1.1 innings while giving up four runs on four hits and three walks in the rehab start. He'll get approximately two more weeks to iron out the kinks at Triple-A before the Giants consider bringing him back.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Gabe Kapler said Sanchez is feeling much better after exiting Thursday's rehab start with a blister. It's unclear exactly how much rehab work the righty will require before he's ready to rejoin the Giants. It's unclear whether he'll return in a starting or relief role.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez exited the game after completing 1.1 innings and throwing 50 pitches. It's not clear how deep into the game he was slated to throw, but it was a premature exit after he called for a trainer who went on to examine his hand. It's unclear how long the setback will push back Sanchez's timetable to return, though the preliminary indications are that this was not an aggravation of his original injury.

Sanchez (biceps) joined Triple-A Sacramento for a rehab assignment Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez will make his first rehab appearance Monday, and he's expected to pitch two innings. It's not yet clear how many starts he could require with the Triple-A club, but he appears to be trending toward a return to the major-league roster. The right-hander has been on the 10-day injured list with right biceps tightness since May 8.

Sanchez (biceps) is scheduled to throw a side session Sunday or Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old has been sidelined by biceps tightness since early May, but he appears to be progressing well in his recovery. It's unclear when Sanchez is expected to return from the injured list, or if he'll require a rehab assignment before being activated.

Sanchez (biceps) played catch on the field Saturday, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez was expected to begin playing catch soon after a doctor's visit Monday. While it's encouraging to see him take the next step, it remains unclear when the Giants expect him to be able to return to the roster.

Sanchez (biceps) had an encouraging visit with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday and could start playing catch next week, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez has been out with biceps tightness since early May, but it looks as though he's avoided a particularly serious injury. He doesn't have a clear timeline for his return, however, and the fact that he's already spent two weeks without throwing in any capacity suggests he'll need a fair amount of time to build back up to game shape.

Sanchez was placed on the 10-day injured list with right biceps tightness Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The move was made retroactive to Wednesday, so Sanchez will be eligible to return next Saturday, though it's not yet clear whether or not he's expected to do so. Logan Webb will remain in the rotation in his absence, with Kevin Gausman returning from the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move.

Sanchez gave up four runs on seven hits and one walk over four innings during Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader at Colorado. He had four strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old was unable to take advantage of a free victory after the Giants posted a 10-run first inning. He gave up all four runs on a grand slam by Raimel Tapia during the fourth inning. Sanchez has a 3.18 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 24:10 K:BB through 28.1 innings, but he has yet to record an out in the sixth inning this season, leaving him little room for error when it comes to picking up wins.
