Inflammation in shoulder has Anibal on hold.
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Manager Brad Ausmus wasn't worried about the status of Anibal Sanchez on Tuesday, a day after the right-hander was scratched from a scheduled start because of inflammation in his shoulder. Sanchez's schedule for the rest of this week, however, appears to be on hold.
"We've kind of mapped out a schedule," Ausmus said. "Sanchie doesn't seem concerned about it."
Sanchez told Venezuelan reporter Wilmer Reina on Tuesday morning that he received a cortisone shot in the shoulder to relieve inflammation around a nerve. As a result he won't throw for a few days, which would push back his next start.
Sanchez's next turn in the Spring Training rotation comes up on Saturday, but he told Reina that he'll likely start next Monday against the Pirates in Bradenton, Fla. If he makes that outing, as well as next Saturday's exhibition against the Nationals in Washington, he should be on track to remain on turn for the third game of the regular season, on April 3 against Kansas City.
Ausmus confirmed the April 3 assignment but wants to wait until Sanchez throws again to confirm any plan to get him to stretch out for it. At this point, though, Ausmus sounded confident that Sanchez will be ready.
"We can still get him around 100 pitches in his last start if everything goes according to plan," Ausmus said.
The inflammation is believed to be similar to the strain in the shoulder that sidelined Sanchez last June. Sanchez had to go on the disabled list at that time so the Tigers could fill his spot in the rotation.
