Anibal Sanchez has inflammation in his right tricep that will sideline the Tigers pitcher from throwing until at least next Monday, manager Brad Ausmus announced on Thursday.
Sanchez, who struggled through most of his 2015 season before being shut down in mid-September with a strained rotator cuff, said he felt his tricep flare up while picking up 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 tricep. Sanchez said it was close to the elbow, but relatively minor inflammation.
