Sanders was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis after Sunday's 9-3 win over the Twins. Sanders will return to Indianapolis after being called up before Sunday's contest, ultimately tossing a scoreless seventh inning while striking out a batter in Pittsburgh's victory. The 29-year-old will now have to wait for his next chance with the major-league roster down the road this season.
