Newsbreakers
September 25, 2008
Anibal Sanchez's start against the Nationals on Thursday was cancelled. The game will not be made up and it's not certain if he will start tomorrow.

Our View:Through 10 starts in 2008, Sanchez has not performed up to expectations. He is 2-5 with a 5.57 ERA. He does have 50 strikeouts in 51.2 innings pitched.
September 20, 2008
Anibal Sanchez was forced out of Saturday's game against the Phillies in the sixth inning due to a cramp in his right hamstring, according to the AP.

Our View:Sanchez threw 95 pitches prior to his exit. We will keep you posted on his status.
September 14, 2008
Sanchez says that his recent struggles are due to mechanical flaws, the Miami Herald reports. He has allowed 15 earned runs over his last three starts.

Our View:Sanchez has been working to correct the problems, and facing the anemic Nationals offense could help. Still, he is probably best left on your bench until he proves that he has put his issues behind him.
September 10, 2008
Anibal Sanchez will still make his next start in the rotation, despite how badly he has performed lately, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Our View:Sanchez has been flat-out awful recently, having allowed 15 earned runs in his last three starts covering 9.2 innings. It is not wise to have him starting for your fantasy squad.
September 2, 2008
Anibal Sanchez has had a rough go of it since returning from the DL, and Tuesday was a prime example, as he surrendered six runs in just three innings to the Braves.

Our View:Sanchez has not been very good since his return from shoulder surgery. He has given up 14 runs in his last 14.1 innings.
September 1, 2008
Anibal Sanchez will face the Brewers on Tuesday as he continues his recovery from shoulder surgery , according to the Marlins Official Website. "I want to finish strong and have that carry over for a good season next year."

Our View:Sanchez is 2-3 with a 4.46 ERA and 1.49 WHIP this season in six starts as he continues to search for the form that led to a 10-3 record, 2.83 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 2006.
August 16, 2008
Anibal Sanchez improved to 2-2 with an effective performance against the Cubs on Saturday. He allowed three hits and one run over 5.1 innings. Sanchez walked five and struck out six.

Our View:It wasn't the cleanest performance, but the Marlins will take it. Sanchez has looked pretty good in four starts since coming back from right shoulder surgery. The walks are a bit troublesome, but fantasy owners should be able to trust him in matchups against weaker opponents.
August 11, 2008
Anibal Sanchez had a quality start on Monday allowing three runs in seven innings to the Cardinals but he still lost and fell to 1-2.

Our View:Sanchez struck out eight and only walked two and has allowed eight runs in his three starts (4.08). Anibal also has 14 K and seven walks, so he has done a solid job of throwing strikes leading to an average WHIP (1.36).
August 6, 2008
Anibal Sanchez looked rusty in his second start back from the DL Wednesday, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out two.

Our View:Sanchez, who is coming back from Tommy John surgery, will have a few of these types of outings while he regains his command. He should not be used as a mixed league option right now.
July 31, 2008
Anibal Sanchez threw well in his first game of the season after coming back from Tommy John surgery. He threw 5.2 innings, giving up two earned runs on six hits while striking out four against the Rockies.

Our View:Sanchez could be a late season asset for fantasy owners, especially those in NL-only leagues.
July 31, 2008
The Marlins activated Anibal Sanchez from the DL Thursday. Sanchez, who is coming back from Tommy John surgery, will start for the Fish tonight.

Our View:This will be Sanchez's first outing since last May. He did well in five rehab starts, posting a 2.89 ERA.
July 28, 2008
ESPN.com reports that Anibal Sanchez will start for the first time in 15 months on Thursday against the Rockies. Sanchez won 10 games and threw a no-hitter as a rookie in 2006, then missed most of last season because of a shoulder injury that required surgery in June 2007.

Our View:Sanchez has plenty of confidence as he has said that the Marlins will now make the playoffs. He went 10-3 in 2006 with an ERA of 2.83 and a no-hitter against Arizona in his 13th major league start. He made only six starts last year before being sidelined. Sanchez consistently topped 90 mph with his fastball in rehabilitation starts, including his most recent outing for Double-A Carolina last Thursday, when he threw 101 pitches in seven innings. He may be worth a gamble if you are desperate for pitching.
July 22, 2008
Anibal Sanchez, who is recovering from right shoulder surgery, had his next rehab start pushed back one day to Thursday, according to the Miami Herald.

Our View:He did not suffer a setback and the club just wants to give him an extra day of rest. That would put him on track to likely join the Marlins and pitch against the Mets on July 29.
July 19, 2008
Anibal Sanchez will make one more rehab start on next Wednesday for Class AA Carolina, according to the Palm Beach Post.

Our View:Sanchez has looked good in his rehab assignment and could be back by July 28.
July 8, 2008
After throwing 4.1 innings in Jupiter's 5-4 win, Sanchez said he's on track to rejoin the Marlins' rotation by July 28, according to the Palm Beach Post. He allowed two runs on four hits, throwing 49 of his 70 pitches for strikes. He struck out three and walked two. His velocity ranged from 88 to 93. Sanchez, whose rehab stint started last Thursday when he allowed two runs in five innings in a Gulf Coast League game, said he will start again for the Hammerheads on Sunday in Fort Myers. He said that will be followed by at least two starts for Class AA Carolina.

Our View:Sanchez is recovering rotator cuff surgery. His rehab was delayed sue to the tragic death of his son.
July 5, 2008
Anibal Sanchez continues to rehab from right shoulder surgery, and he is progressing well, according to the Palm Beach Post. Sanchez's next start will be at Single-A on Tuesday, and he is on schedule to return to the majors on August 1st.

Our View:If the Marlins continue to hang around the playoff chase, Sanchez could serve in the same capacity as a trade deadline deal in adding another arm to the staff. Continue to monitor his progress.
June 18, 2008
Anibal Sanchez threw a simulated game on Tuesday, MLB.com reports. The right-hander is recovering from right shoulder surgery and won't be ready until August, at the earliest.

Our View:Sanchez, 24, still has a bright (albeit slightly dimmer than it once was) future in the majors, but fantasy owners shouldn't expect anything this year. His only value is in keeper leagues.
May 3, 2008
The Marlins report RHP Anibal Sanchez successfully completed a bullpen session on Friday at Dolphin Stadium, according to MLB.com.

Our View:Sanchez has been on the DL all season long with shoulder issues, but the team reports his second bullpen outing of the week has led to hopes that Sanchez, orginally believed to be out until the All-Star break, could be facing batters before the end of the month. The Marlins remain cautious and still assert their desire to wait until the second half of the season for return, but this is a good sign.
February 23, 2008
As expected, Anibal Sanchez resumed his throwing program Friday after taking 10 days off to rest his surgically repaired shoulder, according to the South Florida Sun-Times. Sanchez is not expected to be ready for game action until after the All-Star break.
February 19, 2008
Anibal Sanchez, who made just six starts last year before having shoulder surgery, will resume his throwing program on Friday. He was shut down last week after complaining of discomfort. Sanchez visited Dr. James Andrews, who told the righty that the soreness was normal. "There are worse things in life than this," Sanchez said in the Sun-Sentinel. "[Andrews] put me at ease. He told me it was nothing, part of the recovery process." Sanchez is hoping to return to the Marlins by midseason.
February 18, 2008
Anibal Sanchez, who was scheduled to be a part of the Florida Marlins' starting rotation before mid-season, shut down his throwing program after complaining of discomfort, notes the Miami Herald. "It's not frustrating,'' Sanchez said. ``It's depressing.'' Sanchez said Doctor "Doom" Andrews did not discover any new damage, but the pitcher will take a step back in his rehab and make a new plan.
February 8, 2008
Anibal Sanchez will have his surgically repaired right shoulder examined by Dr. James Andrews on Monday, at which time he hopes to have a better idea of when he might be ready for game action, according to the Miami Herald. "Maybe by the All-Star break," Sanchez said Thursday. "I feel good so far, but I'm taking it really, really slow." He's been testing the joint by throwing from 90 feet every other day, but he hopes to be cleared to step up his rehab following Monday's exam. He had a torn labrum repaired in the shoulder in June.
