Sanchez Suffers From Finger Injury After 1 Inning

Aaron Sanchez has another finger injury to deal with, but the good news is that it’s not the same blister issue that caused him to miss almost the entire 2017 season.

Sanchez left Thursday night’s 8-5 loss to the Angels after one inning because of a contusion on his right index finger.

Sanchez said, “That’s not important,” when asked how it happened, but he did say he jammed his finger before arriving at Angel Stadium for his start.

“I just jammed my finger,” Sanchez said after the game.

Thursday’s short start was frustrating for Sanchez on multiple levels.

The status of Sanchez’s finger will have repercussions throughout the rest of the Blue Jays rotation.

Garcia has managed to complete six innings just three times in 13 starts this season and he sports a 6.16 ERA thanks in large part to averaging 4.5 walks per nine innings.
