Sanchez (finger) is set to begin throwing off flat ground prior to the club's game against Chicago on Saturday, Arash Madani of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will be the first time that Sanchez plays catch since re-landing on the disabled list almost a month ago. The right-hander is battling a blister issue that has been a significant problem for him all season, as this is the fourth time in 2017 that Sanchez is on the DL because of a blister. Toronto will reevaluate Sanchez after he throws the ball around Saturday, but there remains a chance that we've seen the last of him this season if it becomes apparent that he cannot return to the mound in time.
