Could play catch soon Sanchez (biceps) had an encouraging visit with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday and could start playing catch next week, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Sanchez has been out with biceps tightness since early May, but it looks as though he's avoided a particularly serious injury. He doesn't have a clear timeline for his return, however, and the fact that he's already spent two weeks without throwing in any capacity suggests he'll need a fair amount of time to build back up to game shape.

Sanchez has a 3.18 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 24:10 K:BB through 28.1 innings, but he has yet to record an out in the sixth inning this season, leaving him little room for error when it comes to picking up wins.

Struggles with control Sanchez allowed two earned runs on one hit and five walks while striking out six across 4.2 innings Tuesday against the Rockies. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Sanchez threw only 44 of his 82 pitches for strikes, resulting in another early hook. Through five starts, Sanchez has completed exactly five innings three times and only 4.2 frames on the other two occasions. After his last outing, manager Gabe Kapler admitted Sanchez wasn't at "his physical best," which would result in continued short outings. On the other hand, Sanchez did increase his average fastball velocity to 90.0 mph in this effort. He's currently projected to make his next start Monday at Colorado.
