Fantasy Analysis

Advice
The Yankees transferred Sanchez, who is coming back from elbow ligament replacement surgery, from the 15- to the 60-day disabled list in mid-April. He was obtained in 2006 from Detroit, but he never made a start for the Yankees. Sanchez was a combined 10-6 with a 2.53 ERA and 129 strikeouts in 123 innings with Triple-A Toledo and Double-A Erie in 2006.
