The right-hander made nine appearances out of the bullpen for the Pirates this season and went 0-0 with an 8.68 ERA. In 9.1 innings, he allowed nine hits, walked 10 and struck out 13. Sanders totaled 15 appearances for Pittsburgh combined between the last two seasons and went 0-0 with an 8.44 ERA.
In 22 appearances/one start with Triple-A Indianapolis this year, Sanders went 0-2 with a 2.96 ERA and one save. He struck out 44 batters in 24.1 innings.
