Aaron Sanchez Exits Start After Blister Troubles Resurface

By Connor Byrne | April 30, 2017 at 12:46pm CDT

12:46pm: Sanchez’s return did not go smoothly. His blister issues resurfaced, forcing him to depart after one inning, reports Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com.

9:52am: As expected, the Blue Jays have activated right-hander Aaron Sanchez from the 10-day disabled list. Sanchez, who went on the DL on April 15 with a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand, will start Sunday against the Rays.

The Blue Jays have had to go without both Sanchez and J.A. Happ for a significant portion of the young season, which hasn’t helped matters during a disastrous start for the 7-17 club. The absences of Sanchez and Happ have led to starts for Mat Latos and Casey Lawrence, and while the former has managed decent results, the latter’s output has been unsightly. Latos, in spite of an ugly 4.09 K/9 and 5.73 BB/9, has pitched to a 3.27 ERA over two starts (11 innings). Lawrence, whom the Jays optioned to Triple-A on Friday, has also made two starts, in which he has a logged a 3.97 K/9, 4.76 BB/9 and a 7.94 ERA over 11 1/3 frames.

Before hitting the DL, Sanchez was a mixed bag over his first two starts, though it seems his blister issues were at the root of his 5 1/3-inning, five-earned run showing against the Orioles on April 14. In his season debut, a 3-2 loss to the Rays on April 8, the 24-year-old resembled a front-line starter – which he was last season. Sanchez fired seven innings of one-run ball, striking out six, walking three and allowing four hits, and will once again try to stymie Tampa Bay on Sunday. He’ll slot back into a rotation that includes Marcus Stroman, Marco Estrada and Francisco Liriano, all of whom have fared well this year, and Latos.

    That was a short return for Sanchez. That hurts the Jays’ chances. Goodbye playoffs. More Casey Lawrence and less Ross Atkins decision-making please! lol.

      I thought you are a Yankees fan now. That’ll be a perfect way for you to get less Atkins for some reason

        Jays#1, Yankees#2. Grew up in Montreal and went to Jarry Park to watch the Expos in ’69. Fandom didn’t transfer when the Expos moved though and fandom migrated to the Jays and Yankees. In the Expos days, I loved watching Bill Stoneman, Rusty Staub, Ron Hunt, and later Carter, Raines and Dawson. Awesome.

    I don’t understand these blister injuries…why did it blow up again during the game and not during any of his warmups that day or previous days where he was gripping and throwing the ball hard?

      Obviously a doctor’s explanantion is what we want to hear, and sometimes we get that explanation. I suggest that the torque on his hand is exceptional due to his arm speed and when he gets into the game situation and the adrenalin kicks in, extra torque is put on his nail, more than practice and it gave away. I heard he split his nail, no blister. Time will tell how it will sort out.

        Even doctors haven’t been able to explain Rich Hill’s blister issues

        It’s not the blister, they removed apart of his nail I guess to try to solve the issue and now his nail split ..
