Marlins' Gaby Sanchez sidelined with bruised knee

JUPITER - X-rays on Florida Marlins first baseman Gaby Sanchez taken Thursday morning in Jupiter were negative.

Sanchez was diagnosed with a bruise after banging knees with Lastings Milledge on a ninth-inning play at first during Wednesday night's game against the Nationals in Viera.

The right-handed hitting Sanchez is listed as day to day. He is 6 for 30 (.200) with two doubles, a walk and six strikeouts this spring.

Wes Helms is getting the start at first Thursday afternoon against the Phillies and Jorge Cantu, back from his World Baseball Classic run with Mexico, is at third and batting cleanup.
