Aaron Sanchez is set to rejoin the Toronto Blue Jays on August 31st in Baltimore, and with him, he’ll be bringing back the workload debate.
The 24-year-old has already comfortably surpassed his previous career high and now sits at 156.1 innings pitched. With a 2.99 ERA, a 12-2 record, and an All-Star appearance under his belt, Sanchez is on the fringes of the American League Cy Young conversation.
His recent demotion to Dunedin was made — and logically so — in an effort to manage his workload and give the Blue Jays the most roster flexibility possible with Sanchez already scheduled to skip his following start.
