Sanchez likely to begin season on DL

Second baseman Freddy Sanchez (right knee) will likely begin the season on the 15-day disabled list. If Sanchez isn't ready by Opening Day, the team is expected to go with Jose Castillo at second. Castillo was recently beaten out by Jose Bautista for the everyday spot at third base, where he's spent much of his time this spring.
