LAKELAND, Fla. -- Anibal Sanchez has inflammation in his right triceps that will sideline the Tigers pitcher from throwing until at least Monday, manager Brad Ausmus announced on Thursday.
Sanchez, who struggled through most of the 2015 season before being shut down in mid-September with a strained rotator cuff, said he felt his triceps flare up while picking up the intensity in his last mound session on Monday. He has been sidelined from throwing activity since then, and underwent an MRI exam.
The exam showed inflammation in the lower area of the triceps. Sanchez said it was close to the elbow, but relatively minor inflammation.
