Humberto Sanchez to miss start

posted in roster moves, trade rumors |

Injury issues for the oft-injured Humberto Sanchez? Maybe. He won’t be starting tonight, Jon Paul Morosi of the Freep reports, due to a health issue.

Tigers prospect Humberto Sanchez will not start for Triple-A Toledo tonight against Durham because of a health reason, according to president and general manager Dave Dombrowski.

If it’s an actual injury and not some ploy, that’s gotta put a bit of a dent in his trade value with the deadline approaching. But it’s also why I was not / am not afraid of moving him for a rent-a-player.

Danny Knobler update:

Sanchez has a sore elbow, the Tigers say, and won’t pitch for Toledo tonight.
