CRISTOPHER SÁNCHEZ NEWS

Placed on 15-day IL Sanchez (triceps) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.

Impact Sanchez was shut down in mid-April because of left triceps soreness, and there is currently no timeline for his 2023 debut.

Shut down with triceps soreness Sanchez was recently shut down with left triceps soreness, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Phillies have dealt with injury trouble from several of their arms this spring, and Sanchez's triceps injury is the latest that will test the team's pitching depth. The team hasn't provided an official timeline for how long the left-hander will be shut down from throwing, but the timing of his injury this late in spring training could hurt his chances of making the Opening Day roster.

Back to Lehigh Valley Sanchez was returned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Impact Sanchez served as the 29th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals. He pitched the final three innings of the second game to earn an unconventional save, though he also allowed two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out one. Across 40 innings in the majors this season, Sanchez has a 5.63 ERA with a 35:17 K:BB.

Serving as 29th man again Sanchez was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to serve as the 29th man for Saturday's doubleheader against Washington.

Impact Sanchez was also available as the 29th man for Friday's scheduled doubleheader, but he didn't pitch in the matinee before the nightcap was postponed. He'll be available out of the bullpen once again during Saturday's twin bill.

OCTOBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Called up as 29th man Sanchez was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to serve as the 29th man for Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

Impact Sanchez has made his last three major-league appearances out of the bullpen, allowing 10 runs on 12 hits and seven walks while striking out nine in 7.1 innings over that stretch. The southpaw should be available as a multi-inning option out of the Phillies' bullpen during Friday's twin bill.

Promotion on tap Sanchez will be recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Wednesday's game against the Reds, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Phillies will elect to give the starting rotation an extra day of rest with the home stretch of the regular season in sight, as Sanchez's spot start will push each member of the rotation back by a day. The southpaw's last outing dates back to July 10 against the Cardinals, when he surrendered two runs on two hits and one walk while fanning one over three innings.

AUGUST 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Sanchez was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.

Impact Sanchez will return to Triple-A after he tossed eight innings, surrendering two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three over two outings following his promotion July. The left-hander will remain a top candidate to get called up in the coming months.

JULY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Working behind opener Sanchez will pitch behind opener Nick Nelson during Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sanchez made his second start of the season Tuesday against the Nationals and struck out two in five scoreless innings. The southpaw will work as a bulk reliever Sunday but will attempt to maintain his momentum from Tuesday's start.

JULY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gets another turn through rotation Sanchez is scheduled to pitch as either a starter or bulk reliever in Sunday's game in St. Louis, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact He'll be awarded a second straight turn through the rotation after he acquitted himself well Tuesday in a home matchup with the Nationals. Sanchez struck out only two of the 18 batters he faced, but he rolled to an easy victory while blanking the Nationals over five innings and allowing two hits and two walks in the Phillies' 11-0 win.

JULY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes advantage of soft matchup Sanchez (1-1) picked up the win Tuesday in an 11-0 rout of the Nationals, giving up two hits and two walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out two.

Impact The 25-year-old lefty wasn't dominant and got the hook after only 60 pitches (35 strikes) in his first big-league start since May 8, but Sanchez lasted long enough to get credit for a win as he took advantage of the massive run support the Phillies offense supplied. He will likely only stick in the rotation until Ranger Suarez (back) or Zach Eflin (knee) are ready to return, but Sanchez's 3.48 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB through 20.2 innings in the majors this season are at least encouraging numbers.

JULY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Promotion official The Phillies recalled Sanchez from Triple-A Lehigh Valley ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against the Nationals.

Impact Sanchez will be making his second start and ninth appearance of the season with the big club. Over his previous eight outings spanning 15.2 innings, Sanchez turned in a 4.60 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB.

JULY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Tuesday Sanchez will start Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 25-year-old was sent down in mid-June but will rejoin the Phillies as a starter after Ranger Suarez (back) was placed on the 15-day injured list. Sanchez has posted a 2.25 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 20 innings over seven appearances (six starts) at Triple-A Lehigh Valley and should have a chance to make at least one additional turn through the rotation if he performs well Tuesday.

Sent to Triple-A Sanchez was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Impact Sanchez has spent three separate stints on the big-league roster this season, posting an unimpressive 4.60 ERA in 15.2 innings. Jose Alvarado was recalled to take his spot in the bullpen.

JUNE 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A Sanchez was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

Impact Sanchez made five appearances (one start) for the Phillies earlier in the year, and he posted a 5.84 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 12.1 innings. Although he worked mainly as a starter in the minors, he'll likely serve as a multi-inning reliever to begin his current stint with the Phillies.

JUNE 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back in Triple-A Sanchez was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

Impact Sanchez was called up to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets. He started the nightcap but was only asked to throw 2.1 innings, giving up two runs. The outing raised his season ERA to 5.84. He'll remain one of the Phillies' top options whenever they need an extra starter.

MAY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes loss in spot start Sanchez (0-1) took the loss and allowed two runs on two hits and a walk, striking out two in 2.1 innings in a 6-1 loss Sunday against the Mets.

Impact Sanchez limited the damage to a two-out, two-run home run to Pete Alonso in the first inning. Zach Eflin was added to the COVID-19 injured list Sunday, resulting in Sanchez being recalled to spot start. While the lefty was optioned to Lehigh Valley six days ago, he did not make an appearance at Triple-A. It's no surprise that he turned in a short start Sunday, as he had been used in a long-relief role with the Phillies over the first month and hadn't been stretched out.

Making spot start Sunday The Phillies recalled Sanchez from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and designated him as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader with the Mets. He's scheduled to start Game 2 of the twin bil...

Impact The 25-year-old will be picking up his second big-league start and first of 2022 after the Phillies moved Zach Eflin -- who was initially scheduled to take the hill for the second game of the twin bill -- to the COVID-19-related injured list. While it's possible that Eflin will miss more than one turn through the rotation due to MLB's COVID-19-related protocols, Sanchez may be headed back to Lehigh Valley following the doubleheader regardless of how he performs. Before he was optioned to the minors May 1, Sanchez made four appearances out of the big-league bullpen and gave up six earned runs on eight hits and five walks while striking out 10 over 10 innings. He maxed out at 3.1 innings and 65 pitches across those four appearances, so he likely can't be counted on to work deep enough into his start Sunday to have a good chance at factoring into any decision.

MAY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down Sunday Sanchez was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sanchez gave up at least one run in each of his four relief appearances early in the year, and he'll head to the minors since the Phillies need to trim their active roster to 26 players by Monday. The southpaw posted a 5.40 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 10 innings with the Phillies to begin the year.

MAY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled by Phillies Sanchez was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday.

Impact Sanchez was sent to Lehigh Valley at the end of July, and he posted a 4.93 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 34.2 innings across eight minor-league appearances since then. He'll serve as a low-leverage reliever for the Phillies after right-hander Matt Moore (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list, and he'll be available during Sunday's bullpen game, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Sanchez was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.

Impact Sanchez made his first career start in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Nationals and allowed four runs on three hits and a walk while striking out one in one-third of an inning. He'll head back to the minors after the Phillies acquired several pitchers ahead of Friday's trade deadline.

Impact Sanchez was recalled to make the first start of his big-league career, but he struggled mightily and couldn't even escape the first inning. The southpaw has made five appearances for the Phillies on the season and the results haven't been encouraging, as he's posted an 8.22 ERA and 2.35 WHIP through 7.2 innings. He's expected to be returned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
