http://0rz.tw/YlZSW Sanchez better, may not miss start By Chris Haft / MLB.com | 08/17/11 8:01 PM ET ATLANTA -- Manager Bruce Bochy sounded optimistic about left-hander Jonathan Sanchez's chances of recovering from his sprained left ankle quickly enough to make his next scheduled start Sunday at Houston. "He's actually doing much better," Bochy said Wednesday, one day after Sanchez injured himself while trying to field a third-inning bunt. "There is a possibility he'll make his next start." Bochy said that Sanchez will continue to undergo intensive treatment from the Giants' athletic training staff for another couple of days before he's allowed to attempt baseball-related activities. In other injury-related developments, second baseman Jeff Keppinger remained day to day with a bruised right wrist. Keppinger said Wednesday that he was examined by a hand specialist, who told him that he risks extensive surgery -- a procedure which could be career-ending, at worst -- if he tries to play again too quickly and breaks a bone in the wrist. "The bone's a little bit weaker right now and more susceptible to injury," Keppinger said. Right fielder Nate Schierholtz returned to the lineup Wednesday, two days after fouling a ball off his right foot. Schierholtz said that he was not fully recovered but felt healthy enough to play -- unlike Tuesday, when he didn't budge from the bench in San Francisco's 2-1, 11-inning loss. Outfielder Aaron Rowand deemed himself available to play defensively or pinch-hit despite a strained muscle in his left rib cage. Chris Haft is a reporter for MLB.com.
