Sanchez didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 win over Colorado, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first big-league appearance of the season after recovering from a triceps strain, the 26-year-old southpaw was able to last 73 pitches (46 strikes) and exited the game with the score tied 3-3. Sanchez was likely only making a spot start, but it's not clear whether he'll head back to Triple-A Lehigh Valley after this outing or whether he'll remain in the Phillies' bullpen as a long relief option.

Sanchez (triceps) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday's game against the Rockies at Citizens Bank Park, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Due to a postponement Monday that created a doubleheader with the White Sox on Tuesday, the Phillies will have a need for a temporary sixth starter Saturday, when the team plays its sixth game in five days. Sanchez, who has spent all season on the IL while recovering from a left triceps strain, will step in to fill the opening. In his second rehab start last Sunday with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Sanchez built up to 4.2 innings, striking out five while allowing one earned run on three hits and two walks.

Sanchez (triceps) covered 4.2 innings in his second rehab appearance for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday, striking out five while allowing one earned run on three hits and two walks.

EDGE Analysis

Though he opened the season on the 15-day injured list with a left triceps strain, Sanchez may have faced an uphill battle to win a spot on the Phillies' pitching staff even if he had closed camp at full health. However, after having looked sharp in both of his two rehab outings and having built up to 75 pitches in Sunday's start, Sanchez could now find himself in the mix for a rotation spot with the big club with Ranger Suarez (forearm) still on the shelf and Matt Strahm day-to-day with a thumb injury. At the very least, the Phillies will have a need for a sixth starter this week due to Tuesday's doubleheader, so Sanchez could be a candidate to return from the IL to pitch Friday or Saturday versus the Rockies in Philadelphia.

Sanchez (triceps) is expected to throw a three-inning simulated game Thursday at extended spring training, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The three-inning outing represents a slight increase in Sanchez's workload after he tossed a two-inning sim game last Saturday. If all goes well Thursday, Sanchez could head out to a minor-league affiliate for what would likely be a multi-start rehab assignment before he's activated from the Phillies' 15-day injured list.

Sanchez (triceps) threw a pair of simulated innings Saturday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez was shut down in mid-March with left triceps soreness. Injuries to Ranger Suarez (forearm) and Andrew Painter (elbow) as well as Sanchez have allowed Matt Strahm to open the season in the rotation. Sanchez could take that spot if he's the first injured pitcher to return but is unlikely to be anything more than the seventh starter when everyone is healthy.

Sanchez (triceps) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez was shut down in mid-April because of left triceps soreness, and there is currently no timeline for his 2023 debut.

Sanchez was recently shut down with left triceps soreness, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies have dealt with injury trouble from several of their arms this spring, and Sanchez's triceps injury is the latest that will test the team's pitching depth. The team hasn't provided an official timeline for how long the left-hander will be shut down from throwing, but the timing of his injury this late in spring training could hurt his chances of making the Opening Day roster.

Sanchez was returned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez served as the 29th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals. He pitched the final three innings of the second game to earn an unconventional save, though he also allowed two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out one. Across 40 innings in the majors this season, Sanchez has a 5.63 ERA with a 35:17 K:BB.

Sanchez was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to serve as the 29th man for Saturday's doubleheader against Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez was also available as the 29th man for Friday's scheduled doubleheader, but he didn't pitch in the matinee before the nightcap was postponed. He'll be available out of the bullpen once again during Saturday's twin bill.

Sanchez was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to serve as the 29th man for Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez has made his last three major-league appearances out of the bullpen, allowing 10 runs on 12 hits and seven walks while striking out nine in 7.1 innings over that stretch. The southpaw should be available as a multi-inning option out of the Phillies' bullpen during Friday's twin bill.
