The Yankees plan to active Sanchez (biceps) from the DL on Friday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
Sanchez progressed to normal batting practice Monday and has been ramping up his throwing with no reported issues. He will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday in preparation for a weekend return in Chicago. Manager Joe Girardi said he's inclined to return Sanchez to the two-hole upon his activation, where Sanchez was for his first five starts of 2017, pushing Chase Headley back down in the batting order.
