Three weeks after appearing on the Minor League injury list with right elbow inflammation, promising thrower Sixto Sanchez continues to undergo a rehabilitation program at the Phillies Complex in Clearwater

. Joe Jordan, Sanchez recently went to Philadelphia for a follow-up review

"I hope we will get it out Jordan said:

Sanchez had launched for Single A Clearwater at the time of his injury. In four starts before the injury, he only allowed two earned runs in 25 innings and 2/3, taking 29 points and walking four times. On his last start on June 3, he made seven shutout runs, walked two and pulled out five in a win over the Florida Fire Frogs. The next day he complained of the tenderness of his elbow.

Sanchez's mix of control and power has made him one of the best hopes of baseball and a subject of untouchable business discussions. The Phillies consider it a pillar of their rotation in the years to come.

. Manager Gabe Kapler mentioned the two pitchers on Thursday, speaking of Zach Eflin, Nick Pivetta, Aaron Nola, Vince Velasquez and some young people. "I think it's exciting to see how De Los Santos and Irvin are evolving at the minor league level, and considering that this rotation could look like everyone's level of health and experience, six months , nine months, one year from now, "said Kapler. "It's fascinating."
