Cristopher Sánchez - Page 6 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Starting second game Sanchez was recalled to start the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact The start will be the first of Sanchez's big-league career. He owns a 3.68 ERA and an 8:4 K:BB in 7.1 innings of relief at the highest level this season. The Phillies didn't play Wednesday and got a complete game from Zack Wheeler in the first game of the day, however, so their bullpen should be well-rested, meaning Sanchez may not be asked to pitch deep into the contest.

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

Impact Sanchez will cede his spot on the active roster and in the bullpen to Chase Anderson, who was reinstated from the COVID-19-related injured list in a corresponding move. Since he worked two innings in relief in Saturday's blowout loss to Atlanta, Sanchez was unlikely to be available out of the Philadelphia bullpen for the next two days.

Picks up win in relief Sanchez (1-0) earned the win in relief Sunday against the Red Sox after allowing one run on four hits and a walk across three innings, fanning two.

Impact Sanchez worked behind opener Brandon Kintzler, who only tossed one inning, and he limited the damage just enough to come away with his first win of the campaign. This was just Sanchez's second appearance of the season and he's not expected to play a big role out of the bullpen moving forward.

Will serve as bulk reliever Sanchez will serve as a bulk reliever Sunday against the Red Sox, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sanchez was recalled Sunday as the Phillies are without several of their pitchers due to contact tracing. Brandon Kintzler will start the game and is expected to face the first four batters. Sanchez will relieve him and should work several innings.

Recalled and may start Sanchez was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday and could start against the Red Sox, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sanchez was recalled after four Philadelphia pitchers were placed on the COVID-19 related injured list. Among those players was Aaron Nola, who was scheduled to start Sunday. Though no plans have been made official by the team, Sanchez served as a starter for Triple-A Lehigh Valley and is on regular rest. He's posted a 4.46 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in the minors this season, while also managing a 44:26 K:BB across 38.1 innings.

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

Impact Sanchez was recalled prior to Sunday's game against the Nationals and wound up making his major-league debut during the contest. He tossed 1.1 innings of scoreless ball, striking out two along the way. Despite the successful first big-league outing, he'll head back to Triple-A Lehigh Valley for the time being.

Impact Philadelphia placed long reliever Chase Anderson on the COVID-19-related injured list in a corresponding move. Sanchez entered the contest while the Phillies were already trailing by six runs, so he's seemingly being viewed as a low-leverage reliever or mop-up man while he's up with the big club.

Sent down again Sanchez was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Impact Sanchez has been called up twice by the Phillies this season but has still yet to make his major-league debut. Both of his stints on the roster lasted just one day. Enyel De Los Santos's contract was recalled in a corresponding move.

Recalled by Phillies Sanchez was recalled by the Phillies on Monday.

Impact Sanchez was called up for the first time in mid-April but did not yet the chance to make his MLB debut. He'll give the team an extra lefty in the bullpen during his time on the roster. Scott Kingery was optioned in a corresponding move.

Shifts back to alt site The Phillies optioned Sanchez to their alternate training site Tuesday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Sanchez will leave Philadelphia without having made an appearance after he went unused out of the bullpen in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Giants following his callup earlier that day. Left-hander Bailey Falter will take Sanchez's spot in the bullpen and on the 26-man active roster.

Joining big-league roster Sanchez was recalled by the Phillies on Monday.

Impact Sanchez earns his first career call-up as the Phillies seek to replace a trio of players who landed on the COVID-19 injured list. He's made just a single appearance at the Triple-A level. He has a starter's build (6-foot-5) and four-pitch repertoire, but none of his secondary pitches are particularly promising and his command has been unreliable, so he'll likely wind up in the bullpen long-term if he's able to carve out a big-league role.

APRIL 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Joins minor-league camp The Phillies optioned Sanchez to their minor-league camp Tuesday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact The 24-year-old lefty has made only one career appearance above the High-A level, so he wasn't a legitimate candidate to claim a spot on the Phillies' Opening Day roster. Sanchez is expected to begin the season as a member of the rotation at Triple-A Lehigh Valley or Double-A Reading.
