| MLBTradeRumors.com is reporting that the Padres have designated Duaner Sanchez for assignment. He will be replaced on the roster by Josh Wilson, who the team claimed earlier today. |
Our View: Sanchez failed to wow the team in his eleven innings, so now he finds himself in the minors. He has no fantasy value even if he comes back up, so there is no need for him to be on your team.
|
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez has signed a minor league deal with the Padres, according to MLB.com. |
Our View: The velocity on his fastball has declined, and he is now only firing at around 87mph. The Padres are taking a chance on him, but fantasy owners should not do the same.
|
|
|
|
| According to the Washington Post, the Nationals are interested in Duaner Sanchez. The team is trying to beef up it's struggling bullpen, but adding players may make payroll too tight. The team remains interested in Sanchez, but may not be able to afford him. |
Our View: Sanchez is suffering from poor velocity after shoulder surgery and has little fantasy value.
|
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez has been released by the Mets, according to the NY Post. |
Our View: He was on the bubble to make the team due to poor velocity caused by undergoing two shoulder surgeries over a nine month span.
|
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez is on the bubble with the Mets, according to the NY Post. |
Our View: Sanchez underwent two shoulder surgeries over a nine month span, and his fastball velocity dipped below 90-mph in 2008. He won't hold any fantasy value if he manages to make the Mets as a long-reliever.
|
|
|
|
| The Mets have avoided salary arbitration with Duaner Sanchez by signing him to a one-year deal worth $1.6875 million, according to ESPN. |
Our View: Sanchez will provide depth in the Mets' bullpen, but won't hold any fantasy value as a long-reliever.
|
|
|
|
| Mets reliever Duaner Sanchez will not be used as a setup man in the eighth inning because of his recent struggles, according to New York Newsday. "I'd like to see Duaner's velocity a little better than it is right now," said Mets manager Jerry Manuel.
|
Our View: Sanchez has not gotten a single out in either of his last two appearances, so if you have him on your fantasy squad for holds, take note.
|
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez was summoned from the 'pen in the ninth inning but failed to record an out while giving up three runs on three hits. |
Our View: Earlier in the day, Mets manager Charlie Manuel said he wouldn't hesitate using Sanchez as the closer if Wagner was not available. We're guessing that he might next time around.
|
|
|
|
| If Billy Wagner cannot go in the ninth inning, Duaner Sanchez will be called upon in save situations according to MLB.com. "Duaner is a guy who has a tremendous makeup for that particular role," manager Charlie Manuel said. "I have no hesitation about that. His makeup is really off the charts." |
Our View: Keep this in mind if Wagner has to spend any time on the DL this season.
|
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez left Tuesday nights game after taking a line drive off of his. The New York Post reports that he does not expect to miss any action. |
Our View: Good news for the Mets and owners playing in deep leagues. Sanchez has been one of the most reliable pitchers out of New York's pen this year. He is 3-0 with a 3.79 ERA and 1.09 WHIP.
|
|
|
|
| The Mets activated right-handed reliever Duaner Sanchez from the 15-day disabled list and optioned Carlos Muniz to Triple-A New Orleans. |
Our View: Muniz pitched four scoreless innings in his work with the parent club. The team decided to keep right-hander Joe Smith up on the 25-man roster over Muniz. Sanchez becomes a viable fantasy option in leagues that start middle relievers.
|
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez will be activated by the Mets on Tuesday, the New York Post reports. He hasn't pitched in the majors since July 28, 2006. The reliever injured his right shoulder in a taxi accident and has had to undergo multiple surgeries. |
Our View: Sanchez was a very solid setup man prior to his injuries, and he's at least worth exploring in NL-only formats.
|
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez is set to return to the Mets this week, according to the NY Post. He notably pitched one scoreless inning in consecutive games for Triple-A New Orleans over the weekend. His return from the DL will likely send Carlos Muniz back to the minors, to free up a roster spot.
|
Our View: Sanchez, who hasn't pitched since 2006 due to a shoulder injury sustained in a taxi accident, will fight for playing time out of the Mets' pen.
|
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez pitched a scoreless eighth inning for the New Orleans Zephyrs last night against the Round Rock Express, while giving up only one walk and no hits, according to the MetsReport. He is scheduled to pitch again tonight against Round Rock. |
Our View: He continues to make favorable progress in his recovery from his shoulder ailment.
|
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez threw two scoreless innings on Tuesday night for Single-A St. Lucie, according to the NY Post. He gave up two hits, and fired three strikeouts. GM Omar Minaya noted that Sanchez will pitch for Triple-A New Orleans this weekend, and the Mets would like to see him go back-to-back tomorrow and Saturday to test where he is in his recovery from his shoulder injury.
|
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez has been placed on the 15-day DL as he recovers from shoulder surgery, according to ThomasGeorge.com. He is about four weeks away from returning. |
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez, who is nursing a shoulder injury that ended his 2007 campaign, pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Sunday. The right-hander's fastball was clocked as high as 91 mph. Sanchez appears ready to rock as a middle-reliever and work on back-to-back days before spring work is complete. Sanchez is closing in on NL-only value. |
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez felt fine Friday morning, a day after his 11-pitch inning, according to Newsday. He is aiming to pitch again on Sunday and insists that his shoulder is no longer a concern. He hopes to pitch on back-to-back days at some point next week and be ready for opening day. Sanchez could be worth an NL-only roster spot if he ends up returning to form. |
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez is ready to take his workload to the next level and prove he's ready for opening day. Due to a shoulder injury, the reliever hasn't appeared in a major league game since July 28, 2006, and he has made four appearances this spring. "I don’t think. I know I’ll be ready (for opening day)," Sanchez tells the New York Daily News. |
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez expects to return to game action on Saturday or Sunday, but manager Willie Randolph wouldn't commit to Sanchez being ready for opening day, according to the New York Daily News. "It's step-by-step. I don't want to say yes. I don't want to say no." He's working his way back from shoulder surgery and hasn't pitched since last Friday due to tightness in the back of the joint. We'll have to see if he can pitch this weekend without a setback before speculating on his status for the regular season. |
|
|
|
| As expected, Duaner Sanchez was able to take part in Friday's exhibition game, according to the Star-Ledger. He made it through an inning of action and afterward said he felt great, "like '06 right now." That's good, because 2006 was the last time Sanchez pitched in a game before today. He's working his way back from shoulder surgery and was held out of Thursday's game due to what the Mets dubbed "normal soreness." So far, so good. |
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez was held out of Thursday's exhibition contest due to what the Mets called "normal soreness," according to the New York Daily News. Sanchez, who his recovering from shoulder surgery, is expected to appear in Friday's game. If he doesn't, then maybe it's not "normal soreness." |
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez didn't look sharp on Monday, but at least he was able to throw all his pitches in his comeback from shoulder surgery, this according to MLB.com. "That was a pitcher who hadn't pitched in a year and half," said Randy Niemann, the man who helped direct Sanchez training this winter. "He just had to get through that." Sanchez certainly would be a welcomed addition to the Mets bullpen this year, especially if the team decides to cut back on the innings thrown by closer Billy Wagner. |
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez is scheduled to pitch in an intrasquad game Monday, a big step in his recovery from shoulder surgery, according to the AP. “I’m just curious in general,” manager Willie Randolph said. “You haven’t seen the guy pitch in a year and a half. Throwing on the side is one thing, but he’s looking good." Sanchez impressed his coaches with how well he threw the ball last week in a bullpen session. Barring any setbacks, he should be good to go at the beginning of the season. |
|
|
|
| Mets reliever Duaner Sanchez impressed the coaches with his bullpen session on Saturday. He hasn't appeared in a game since July 28, 2006 due to shoulder issues. "I was impressed, man. Wow!" manager Willie Randolph tells the New York Post. "Duaner was throwing the [snot] out of the ball. You don't expect to see that velocity right off the bat." |
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez is ready to make a return from the shoulder surgery that he underwent last season. "If we get Duaner back to where he was," manager Willie Randolph said. "We'll have one more big weapon in the 'pen." Sanchez is obviously a risk coming off shoulder surgery, but he could be a very nice addition in NL Only league's if healthy considering he posted a 3.31 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 2004-06 while vulturing 12 victories. |
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez avoided arbitration with the Mets by inking a one-year deal on Monday. The right-hander missed all of last seen following shoulder surgery, but he should be an important part of the Mets bullpen if he proves healthy. |
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez, who had surgery April 10 to repair a shoulder fracture, said he's in no pain and "definitely" believes he'll pitch for the Mets this season, according to the New York Post. "It matters how my rehab is going to go," he said. |
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez underwent successful surgery yesterday to insert a scew into his right shoulder, according to the New York Daily News. He is not expected to return to action until at least August. |
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez will have surgery Tuesday to have a screw inserted into his right shoulder, according to the AP. Mets assistant general manager John Ricco said there is no timetable for Sanchez's return, but GM Omar Minaya previously said that if Sanchez has the surgery he will miss most of the year. |
|
|
|
| A decision on surgery for Duaner Sanchez's shoulder hasn't been made yet but will be soon, Omar Minaya told the Westchester Journal-News. Sanchez would miss most of the year if he had the procedure.
|
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez will have surgery to repair a hairline fracture in the front of his right shoulder, which will sideline him for at least four months, according to Sports Network. Sanchez separated his shoulder last July in a taxi accident and had arthroscopic surgery that ended his season. |
|

|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez met with Mets management yesterday and is expected to apologize to his teammates today for repeatedly being late to workouts, according to the New York Daily News. The Mets had sent him home as punishment, but it remains to be seen how things will turn out for Sanchez, who arrived 15 pounds over weight and still is working his way back from a separated shoulder. |
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez, recovering from a separated shoulder, was sent home Thursday for repeatedly showing up late to his workouts, according to the AP. Manager Willie Randolph said Sanchez had been warned about his tardiness, and the manager will consult GM Omar Minaya to determine if Sanchez should receive further discipline. |
|
|
|
| It's appearing less and less likely that Duaner Sanchez will break camp with the Mets, according to the New York Daily News. He hasn't experienced a setback in his recovery from a separated shoulder, but the Mets are taking it slowly with his return to the mound. "He's getting closer to it," GM Omar Minaya said. "We're probably being very conservative with him, making sure the arm angle is where it should be, making sure that with the follow-through and extension, the muscles are fine. You end up being a lower arm angle, you risk injury." |
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez has yet to be cleared to throw from a mound, as he continues his recovery from a separated shoulder, according to the New York Daily News. "I'm just working on strength," said Sanchez, who added that he still expects to break camp with the Mets. |
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez and the Mets agreed on a one-year, $850,000 deal on Monday, according to the AP. In addition to his salary, Sanchez could earn $100,000 in performance bonuses: $25,000 each for 50, 55, 60 and 65 games. Sanchez suffered a separated shoulder in a taxicab accident late last year, and it's possible he'll be limited in spring training. |
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez said his recovery from August shoulder surgery is going well, but he hasn't been cleared to pick up a baseball yet, according to the New York Daily News. "They have me waiting until after Christmas," Sanchez said. "Everything is going fine. I have no problems. It's 100 percent." Sanchez may be limited some in spring training. |
|
|
|
| Duaner Sanchez underwent season-ending surgery on his pitching arm Tuesday, according to the AP. He'll be able to resume baseball activities in four months. |
|
|
|

|
