Blue Jays’ Sanchez ready to close the door on injury-filled 2017 season
TORONTO — Aaron Sanchez is ready to put his finger issues behind him and never look back.
A frustrating season came to a close for the Blue Jays right-hander over the weekend when the team officially shut him down for the remainder of 2017.
What started as a blister on his right middle finger and expanded into a nail issue early in the year has now developed into a pulley sprain in his tendon, which Sanchez found out about on Friday.
For now, the only solution for the 25-year-old is rest. But he and the team will continue to explore options over the off-season to prevent his blisters from re-emerging.
