Sanchez (finger) will begin throwing off a mound in Baltimore this weekend, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez continues to work his way back from a blister, as he's been able to throw a bit over the past week, but nothing from the mound at this point. If all systems check out during this weekend's session, it appears likely that he will be able to rejoin the team in the near future, taking on a bullpen role for the rest of this season. Sanchez still lacks a timetable, but a more definitive outlook should appear following his time on the mound.
