Anyone know the latest on the Pirates' Freddy Sanchez? I read the other day that he had a knee injury, possibly a strained MCL, but for the life of me I haven't heard anything in days. So how long is he expected to be out? Hopefully not too long!

Unfortunately, I have passed through any news regarding Freddy Sanchez today. I'll be on the look-out, but it can't be that serious. If it was, it would be publicized all over sports networks, such as ESPN.

See, that's what I was thinking. As they say, usually no news is good news.

Fantastic, thanks for the update, Marc. Good to see he won't miss a lot of time.

Uh-oh, not so fast. According to the Associated Press, Sanchez's strained right knee ligament "is preventing him from running at full speed. The injury was supposed to be a minor one when he was hurt turning a double play on March 6 — a day-to-day proposition — but it's been 2 1/2 weeks and he's not yet ready... The Pirates aren't ready to say the injury may jeopardize Sanchez's status for opening day April 2 in Houston." But it could, which is bad news for Bucs fans.

Sanchez will start the season on the 15-day DL, the AP is reporting. He will miss at least four games.
