The Philadelphia Phillies are relieved as Cristopher Sánchez, a key left-hander in their rotation, will not be placed on the injured list following a recent scare with forearm soreness. After throwing 58 pitches in just two innings on April 22, he had previously established himself with an impressive 3.42 ERA and a strong strikeout rate this season.

Sánchez's absence from the injured list is a positive development for the Phillies, who have been on a roll, winning their last 11 games he started. He will take the mound against the Washington Nationals on Wednesday night, looking to continue his stellar performance from last season when he made his first All-Star Game appearance.
