Impact Sanchez broke up Boston starter Nick Pivetta's no-hit bid with a triple in the seventh inning. He went on to record a double in the ninth and a game-tying two-run homer in the 11th. It was the second straight three-hit effort for Sanchez, who had been struggling with a .171 average in 11 contests prior to the productive two-game stretch.

Homers Wednesday Sanchez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Padres.

Impact Sanchez extended Miami's lead to 7-1 in the sixth inning, launching a 412-foot solo shot off Enyel De Los Santos. It's the first homer for Sanchez since April 24 and his third of the season. The 26-year-old outfielder is now slashing .230/.285/.309 through 166 plate appearances with 19 RBI, 12 runs scored and six stolen bases.

Swipes first bag of 2024 Sanchez went 0-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Pirates on Opening Day.

Impact He hit into fielder's choices in his first two at-bats, but the first brought home Jazz Chisholm for the game's first run, and Sanchez swiped second base after the second. The 26-year-old outfielder had only four steals on six attempts in his career prior to Thursday and recorded an average sprint speed in the 54th percentile last season, so a sudden breakout in that category seems unlikely, but Sanchez will be looking to take another step forward as a hitter after producing a .253/.327/.450 slash line with 14 homers and 52 RBI over 402 plate appearances in 2023.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

On bench versus lefty Sanchez is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Mets.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in lineup for first game Sanchez is not in the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports

Impact The Mets have yet to announce the order of their starters for the double dip, but Sanchez's absence from the lineup suggests lefty Joey Lucchesi will start the first game and Kodai Senga will get the nightcap. Jorge Soler is playing right field in the first contest while Yuli Gurriel handles first base and Josh Bell is used at designated hitter.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench versus lefty Sanchez is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets.

Impact Bryan De La Cruz, Jazz Chisholm and Jorge Soler will start across the outfield as the Marlins take on left-hander Joey Lucchesi. Sanchez has slashed just .227/.261/.341 in 47 plate appearances versus lefties this season.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against lefty Sanchez is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Mets.

Impact Jon Berti, Jazz Chisholm and Bryan De La Cruz (ankle) will start across the outfield for the Marlins as they take on left-hander Joey Lucchesi. Sanchez has slashed just .220/.256/.317 in 44 plate appearances this year against southpaws.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench versus southpaw Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Sanchez will once again head to the bench with the Phillies sending out a left-handed pitcher in Ranger Suarez. Dane Myers, Jazz Chisholm and Bryan De La Cruz should start from left to right across the outfield Sunday in Philadelphia.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat versus lefty Sanchez is not in the lineup Friday against the Phillies.

Impact Bryan De La Cruz, Jazz Chisholm and Garrett Hampson will start across the outfield for the Marlins as they take on left-hander Cristopher Sanchez. Sanchez has enjoyed a solid overall season, but he carries a relatively weak .651 OPS versus southpaws.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in lineup Tuesday Sanchez is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Rays.

Impact Bryan De La Cruz, Jazz Chisholm and Jorge Soler will start across the outfield. Sanchez takes a seat after going 1-for-8 with three walks and two strikeouts in the Marlins' three-game weekend series against the Nationals.

AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Monday Sanchez is out of the lineup Monday versus the Astros.

Impact Avisail Garcia, Bryan De La Cruz and Jorge Soler will start across the outfield for the Marlins as they take on the Astros and left-hander Framber Valdez. Sanchez has drawn only 27 plate appearances versus southpaws this year.

AUGUST 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Wednesday's lineup Sanchez is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cincinnati.

Impact Avisail Garcia is getting the call in right field against Reds right-hander Graham Ashcraft. Sanchez has now started just two of the last six games, although this is the first time he hasn't been in there versus a righty over that span.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting again Monday Sanchez is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds, according to Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.

Impact Sanchez rarely starts against southpaws, so it should come as little surprise that he is being held out Monday with left-hander Brandon Williamson on the bump for Cincinnati.

AUGUST 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Idle versus lefty Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Sanchez appears to have settled into the strong side of a platoon in the corner outfield, but he'll take a seat in Sunday's series finale while southpaw Andrew Heaney takes the hill for Texas. Avisail Garcia will replace Sanchez in the lineup and will bat sixth.

AUGUST 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting vs. Montgomery Sanchez is not in Friday's lineup against the Rangers.

Impact He will open the game on the bench with lefty Jordan Montgomery on the hill for Texas. Sanchez has started twice against a lefty all season, with both starts coming over the past two weeks but before the trade deadline. He has started both games against righties since the deadline, and the only righty the Marlins face this weekend is Jon Gray on Saturday.

AUGUST 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Walks it off Wednesday Sanchez went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Wednesday's 9-8 extra-innings win over the Phillies.

Impact The Marlins had plenty of heroes on a wild night that saw them wait until the sixth inning to score their first runs and take their first and only lead in the 12th, but Sanchez got the walk-off honors by bringing home Jazz Chisholm with a single. Sanchez hadn't had a multi-hit performance since July 14, but since the All-Star break he's compiled a solid .295/.367/.432 slash line, albeit with just one homer, three runs and five RBI in 14 contests. Jazz Chisholm and Avisail Garcia are both healthy again and Miami's outfield has gotten crowded, so Sanchez will need to keep hitting if he wants to maintain even a semi-regular spot in the lineup.

AUGUST 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting again Tuesday Sanchez remains out of the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Phillies.

Impact Sanchez appeared off the bench for the Marlins in Monday's series opener against Philadelphia, but he hasn't started a game since last Friday. There may be some kind of physical issue, as he was productive for the most part in July while posting an .828 OPS with three homers and 10 RBI across 19 games.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hits bench against righty Sanchez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Sanchez will hit the bench for a third straight game, but unlike the previous two contests, the Marlins are facing a right-hander (Taijuan Walker) rather than a left-handed starter/primary pitcher. With Avisail Garcia returning from the injured list last week and Jazz Chisholm (oblique) getting activated Monday, the Miami outfield is more crowded these days, and it doesn't help Sanchez's cause that super-utility man Jon Berti has been picking up more work in left field of late. Sanchez has posted a modest .728 OPS since returning from an IL stint of his own in late May and could be relegated to more of a part-time role now that Miami has plenty of options in the outfield.
