Blue Jays' Aaron Sanchez: Confirmed as Wednesday's starter

Sanchez (blister) is on Wednesday's official lineup card and will start in Seattle, Sportsnet's Shi Davidi reports.

Analysis:

He was considered probable for Wednesday's start earlier in the week and now owners can proceed knowing that he will in fact take the ball in the series finale against the Mariners. Sanchez has had an excellent first full season in the Blue Jays' rotation, notching a 3.17 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 140:55 K:BB in 173 innings, but he appears to be wearing down as his innings creep into uncharted territory. He has a 4.65 ERA and 25:16 K:BB over his last 40.2 innings. His previous high for innings in a season was 133.1 in 2014 and he threw just 102 innings in 2015, so it's understandable that his production has slipped as he should approach 180 innings after Wednesday's start.
