Aaron Sanchez (finger) to return to Blue Jays' rotation Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez (finger) threw 60 pitches in an extended bullpen session Tuesday.

What It Means:

Sanchez should be cleared to return Sunday versus the Seattle Mariners as long as everything goes well on Wednesday. He's been on the disabled list since May 1 due to a split nail on his right middle finger.

Sanchez has a 4.05 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 18.2 strikeout rate across 13 1/3 innings pitched this season. He's 0-1 through three starts.
