Blue Jays optimistic Sanchez can stay healthy

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- The Blue Jays held their first official workouts for pitchers and catchers on Wednesday morning, and along with that came a very welcome sight: Aaron Sanchez throwing off a mound.

Toronto did not get to see much of that last season, as Sanchez was limited to 36 innings because of a lingering blister issue. If Toronto is going to be taken seriously this season, history cannot repeat itself. The Blue Jays need a healthy Sanchez more than ever, and everyone around the team seems to know it.

Sanchez threw approximately 25 pitches to Russell Martin on Day 1 of Spring Training.
