Sanchez to be examined after setback

Right-hander experienced shoulder discomfort while throwing

By Joe Frisaro / MLB.com

 

MIAMI -- Anibal Sanchez experienced a setback in his recovery from a shoulder ailment on Monday, and the right-hander is scheduled to be examined by Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala.

The 23-year-old felt discomfort while throwing at the Roger Dean Stadium complex in Jupiter, Fla.

 

The Marlins optioned Sanchez to Triple-A Albuquerque on May 4. Sanchez went on the Minor League disabled list shortly afterward.

 

Sanchez, the Marlins' No. 3 starter when the season began, has been battling through a sore shoulder since January. He underwent an MRI then, and was eased into Spring Training.

 

Before being optioned, Sanchez appeared in six games for the Marlins. He was 2-1 with a 4.80 ERA.

 

Sanchez's last start was on May 2, when he threw 3 1/3 innings against the Mets. He allowed three runs on seven hits that day.

 

As a rookie in 2006, Sanchez was 10-3 with a 2.83 ERA and threw a no-hitter against Arizona.

See ya in a year and a half...

Oh boy, sounds like a torn labrum. Thanks for the no-hitter, Anibal.

Crapola

This injury B.S. is getting really old.

wow virtually everyone from 2006 is washing out , I think only jj will be worth keeping , olsen has been extremely disappointing sanchez is out probably for awhile btw i bet he is kicking himself for not being honest that he was injured when he was up in the majors because this is a pay cut he will feel for awhile ,nolasco to me has always been the least impressive.

That trade with the Red Sox isn't looking so good now. I'm sure the Red Sox didn't mind giving up a pitcher that has had injury problems throughout his short career. Better keep the fingers crossed because Dr. Andrews usually means T-John surgery.

A bad sophmore year won't cost him anything. He is still years away from getting a LTC.

And then there is that Ramirez guy....

never good to have your pitchers name associated with Dr. James Andrew

 

After hearing this news i really hope nolasco can come back quickly because i cannot deal knowing obermueller or kim will pitch on the 5th day. No matter how productive they have been this year.

 

This is based on the rotation of a healthy Mitre, JJ, Willis , Olsen and ??? hopfully Nolasco or vand den hurk

 

 

sucks cause sanchez is awsome

I love Beckett more than anybody, and I think all things considered, that's a trade that both teams still make.

Would you all calm down. Dr. Andrews looks at a ton of pitchers and many don't go under the knife. He may be Mr. Tommy John Surgery, but he deals with much more than just that.

I agree. The Marlins couldn't afford either Lowell or Beckett. But the Red Sox didn't bat an eye.

Hope he won't need TJ surgery just yet.

Umm...fellas, it's his shoulder that's the problem. There is ZERO percent you have TJ on a shoulder, that's the elbow.

That is a good point. LOL.

Plus, he's already had TJ once before, I'd assume that he'd be very in tune with the warning signs. Not saying serious surgery isn't ahead, but I have serious doubts we'll be seeing Tommy John.

Still don't want him going to see that particular doctor. Usually bad things happen.

Oh boy, sounds like a torn labrum. Thanks for the no-hitter, Anibal.

I'm wondering what in that screams torn labrum.

Considering Big Tex liked pitching for the Fish(as far as I can remember) and what he signed with Boston for...Id say he was more than affordable.

LOL I was wondering how we got from a shoulder injury to TJ surgery. That's kinda like changing the oil in your car because you have a flat tire.

Just can't get away from the injuries this year can we?

He does Tommy John but his elbow isn't injured, it's his shoulder. So maybe it's a precaution.

And Dontrelle Willis continues to make start after start after start..................

Oh boy, sounds like a torn labrum. Thanks for the no-hitter, Anibal.

I'm wondering what in that screams torn labrum.

 

Even if it isn't his labrum, whenever you hear the name Dr James Andrews, it isn't a good sign.

hey mets bs you need to update your signature dude

 

(had to, couldnt resist)

 

 

 

Hope they take Sanchez slowly and let him work it out, it cant be TJ but a shoulder is soemthing folks can not come back from sometimes.
