The Philadelphia Phillies reinstated left-hander Cristopher Sanchez from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

Sanchez, 26, is making his first start since last October on Saturday against the visiting Colorado Rockies.

Sanchez, sidelined by a left triceps strain, made two rehab starts at Triple-A Lehigh Valley and posted a 1.04 ERA.

To make room on the roster, right-hander Andrew Bellatti headed to the 15-day IL with right triceps tendinitis.

Bellatti, 31, is 1-0 with a 6.23 ERA in 10 appearances out of the Philadelphia bullpen this season.
