Hector Sanchez shut down for a few days
Hector Sanchez - C - San Francisco Giants
March 15, 2013 - 6:55 PM ET

The Giants have shut down Hector Sanchez (shoulder) until Tuesday, after which he could receive extra swings in minor league games.

Sanchez has been plagued by the shoulder issue for nearly the entirety of spring camp, and hasn't shown any improvement in recent days. If he doesn't feel any better after the weekend off, he may require an MRI. Guillermo Quiroz could start the season as the backup catcher to Buster Posey if Sanchez isn't ready to go.
