AARON SANCHEZ NEWS

Tosses five scoreless frames Sanchez (1-1) picked up the win Thursday against the Marlins after tossing five scoreless innings. He allowed two hits and struck out two.

Impact Sanchez has yet to pitch more than five innings in any of his first four starts, but he has allowed more than one run just once while posting a 14:4 K:BB through 19.2 innings -- he's limiting the damage despite the fact that he's not pitching deep into games. The veteran right-hander is slated to take the ball next week at home against the Rockies.

Decreased velocity Manager Gabe Kapler said after Thursday's start that Sanchez is "not at his physical best right now" and that is why he has been pulled with low pitch counts, Alex Pavlovic of NBC...

Impact Sanchez remained effective Thursday, delivering five scoreless innings with two strikeouts and surrendering only two hits. However, he maxed out at 89.8 mph with his fastball and averaged only 86.7 mph with the pitch. It's unclear whether he will need a stint on the injured list or have a start skipped, but Kapler's assessment of Sanchez's health is alarming.

No decision Saturday Sanchez allowed one earned run on five hits and three walks while striking out five in Saturday's loss to the Marlins. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Sanchez hasn't gone deeper than five innings in his three starts, but he hasn't allowed more than two runs in any given outing. The 28-year-old carries a respectable 2.45 ERA and 12 strikeouts through 14.1 innings. The Giants haven't granted Sanchez with enough run support to earn him a win yet this season. His next outing is scheduled April 22 against Miami.

No decision in first outing Sanchez allowed one run on six hits while striking out four across five innings Tuesday against the Padres. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Sanchez missed all of last season after undergoing should surgery late in the 2019 campaign so it was nice to see him have a solid outing after not taking the mound since Aug. 20 of 2019. The 28-year-old breezed through the top of the order in the first before getting Victor Caratini to ground into an inning-ending double play in the second to get out of a first and third jam. He ended up surrendering three singles in the third which led to the Padres' first run of the game but settled down afterward as he retired the last seven batters he faced. Sanchez has had some troublesome years in terms of command but did not give up any free passes Tuesday night as he'll look to keep things rolling against the Reds on Monday.

Impact Sanchez said he could add more velocity but didn't throw at max effort as he builds stamina for the regular season. It was Sanchez's first game since 2019 as he works his way back from September 2019 shoulder surgery. He did pitch a three-inning simulated game last Sunday. It's not clear if he'll be ready for the start of the regular season, but he may be ready to join the rotation in early April.
