Freddy Sanchez had his injured left knee examined by Giants' doctors on Wednesday.
There were no significant issues found, but it remains to be seen if the Giants and Pirates will work out a deal for the infielder. The latest indicator that a trade could be coming soon is that Sanchez has received permission to spend Thursday's off day at his home in Phoenix, so that if he gets traded to a West Coast team he'll already be in the vicinity.
