Sánchez set to rejoin Phils' rotation after injury scare

5:37 PM EDT

Three brothers from Puerto Rico play in the Major Leagues at the same time, all as catchers, and each goes on to win multiple World Series rings? Yes, the story of the Molina brothers -- Bengie, José and Yadier -- sounds ready-made for the Hollywood treatment.
