JESÚS SÁNCHEZ NEWS

Doing strength work Sanchez is doing lower-body strength work at the Marlins' spring training complex, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact It's unclear exactly how much Sanchez is doing, but it is encouraging to hear he is doing some sort of activities. He is eligible to be activated from the injured list Wednesday, but he will presumably need more time beyond that.

Moves to injured list Sanchez was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right hamstring strain, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 25-year-old returned to the lineup Saturday against the Reds after he tweaked his hamstring earlier in the week, and he's now headed to the IL after he aggravated the injury. Sanchez will be eligible to be activated May 24, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy by that point. Garrett Hampson, who is starting Sunday, and Peyton Burdick should see more run in right field while Sanchez is sidelined.

Remains out Sunday Sanchez (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Sanchez left Saturday's game against Cincinnati with soreness in his right hamstring. The outfielder will take a seat for the series finale against the Reds with Peyton Burdick getting the start in right. Sanchez should be considered day-to-day with a chance to return to the lineup Tuesday against the Nationals.

Re-injures hamstring Sanchez left Saturday's game against the Reds with right hamstring soreness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact He left Wednesday's game with a right hamstring injury and returned to the lineup Saturday but was unable to make it through the whole game before re-aggravating the injury. The team may opt for a more cautious approach to make sure Sanchez's injury fully heals this time around. Peyton Burdick replaced Sanchez, who did not get an at-bat before exiting the game.

Exits with apparent injury Sanchez left Saturday's game against the Reds with an apparent leg injury, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Sanchez returned to the lineup Saturday after tweaking his hamstring Wednesday, but he only made it through half an inning. He made a diving play in right field to save a run for the third out of the first inning but came up limping. He walked back to the dugout under his own power but was replaced by Peyton Burdick. It remains to be seen if Sanchez suffered a setback with his hamstring or if he's dealing with a new injury.

MAY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Sanchez (hamstring) will bat fifth and play right field Saturday against the Reds, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Sanchez tweaked his hamstring Wednesday against Arizona and did not start Friday's series opener, though he did appear off the bench. He'll be involved from the start Saturday and will look to build on his .390/.405/.780 line over his last 13 games.

MAY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available off bench Sanchez (hamstring) is expected to be available off the bench for the Marlins on Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Sanchez just tweaked his right hamstring during Wednesday's game in Arizona, so it would seem to be a good sign that he's already available off the bench, if needed. He's been red-hot at the plate of late and it would appear he has a good shot to avoid the injured list.

MAY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in lineup Friday Sanchez (hamstring) isn't starting Friday against the Reds, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Sanchez exited Wednesday's game against Arizona due to an apparent right hamstring injury and will be out of the lineup for at least one matchup. His injury comes in the midst of a stellar stretch in which he's hit .476 with two homers, six doubles, six RBI and four runs over his last five games. Sanchez is considered day-to-day for now, and Peyton Burdick will take over in right field and bat seventh Friday.

MAY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with apparent leg injury Sanchez was lifted from Wednesday's game in Arizona with an apparent right hamstring injury, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Sanchez doubled to lead off the top of the ninth inning but apparently tweaked his hamstring in the process. He also had a three-run homer earlier in the game as he continued his red-hot hitting, but now it looks like he might be sidelined a while.

MAY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Doubles twice in loss Sanchez went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and an RBI in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Sanchez provided the Marlins' only extra-base knocks off Arizona ace Zac Gallen, giving the outfielder four (three doubles and one home run) over Miami's past three contests. After beginning the season as Miami's fourth outfielder, Sanchez now looks to be secure in a regular role against right-handed pitching while Avisail Garcia (back) is on the injured list. Even when Garcia returns, Sanchez could stick in the lineup over both him and Bryan De La Cruz. Sanchez owns an .820 OPS for the season, while De La Cruz (.640) and Garcia (.576) have been far less productive.

MAY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in lineup versus righty Sanchez will start in right field and bat cleanup Sunday against the Cubs.

Impact The lefty-hitting Sanchez was on the bench in each of the Marlins' last three games, but all of those absences came against lefties. He'll be back in the starting nine Sunday against Cubs right-hander Hayden Wesneski, and while Avisail Garcia (back) is on the shelf, Sanchez looks as though he'll occupy the strong side of a platoon with Garrett Hampson in the corner outfield.

MAY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting versus lefty Sanchez is out of the lineup Thursday versus Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Bryan De La Cruz is starting in left field and Garrett Hampson is in right with left-hander Dylan Dodd set to toe the rubber for Atlanta. Sanchez will grab some rest after going 3-for-4 with a two-run homer Wednesday.

MAY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pops second homer Sanchez went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's 14-6 loss to Atlanta.

Impact The 25-year-old outfielder was one of the few bright spots for the Marlins in the rout, but his seventh-inning shot off Dylan Lee came when his team was already down 13-4. Sanchez has flipped the switch over the last week to erase a sluggish start to the season, and over his last eight games he's batting .391 (9-for-23) with both his homers on the year.

MAY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hits bench versus lefty Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact He'll take a seat with southpaw Justin Steele on the mound for the Cubs, but the lefty-hitting Sanchez may have established himself as a regular in the lineup versus right-handed pitching over either of Bryan De La Cruz and Avisail Garcia. Sanchez started in each of the Marlins' last four matchups against righties in a corner-outfield spot and went 4-for-13 with two extra-base hits, a stolen base, three runs and four RBI. Meanwhile, De La Cruz and Garcia both sat out two times apiece during that stretch.

APRIL 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Third straight start Sanchez is making his third straight start Friday as the Marlins take on the Cubs, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Sanchez hit his first home run of the season Wednesday and had another hit Thursday to earn a third straight start. He and his teammates will be going up against Marcus Stroman.

APRIL 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

In Wednesday's lineup Sanchez is starting in right field and batting seventh for the Marlins in Wednesday's game versus the Phillies.

Impact It's Sanchez's first start in five games even though the Marlins have faced four righties over that stretch and Avisail Garcia (hamstring) hasn't played since Sunday. He's just 2-for-15 at the plate so far this season.

APRIL 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes bag in Sunday's win Sanchez went 1-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base after replacing Avisail Garcia (hamstring) in right field in the fourth inning of Sunday's win over the Mets.

Impact Sanchez has sputtered out of the gate at the plate, going 2-for-14 in sporadic action without an RBI, but he has drawn four walks and stolen two bases. It's not yet clear how much time Garcia might miss, but Sanchez could be the biggest beneficiary if the veteran outfielder lands on the IL.

APRIL 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Steals bag in Wednesday's start Sanchez went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Twins.

Impact He struck out in his other two at-bats, but Sanchez was able to make a contribution in the second inning as he was the only Marlin to successfully steal a base on three attempts on the afternoon. The 25-year-old has started only three of seven games so far and gone just 1-for-9 at the plate, taking a back seat to Bryan De La Cruz in Miami's outfield rotation, but if Jazz Chisholm (shoulder) misses any time due to a stinger he suffered on his own caught stealing Wednesday, Sanchez could get a short-term boost in his playing time.

APRIL 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

May be headed for bench role Sanchez is expected to be included on the Marlins' 26-man Opening Day roster, but he could serve as a bench bat rather than a regular starter, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald report...

Impact Though he cut down his strikeout rate from 31.1 percent in 2021 to 26.8 percent in 2022, Sanchez's power output (.189 ISO in 2022, .238 ISO) took a major step back from the season prior. Sanchez has slashed a credible .302/.333/.419 through his first 18 games of Grapefruit League play and looks to have done enough to break camp with the big club, but with Jazz Chisholm (arm) making the full-time move to center field and with Jorge Soler seeing more work in the corner outfield spot opposite Avisail Garcia as spring training winds down, Sanchez looks as though he'll have to settle for a reserve role. If the Marlins aren't willing to open up a regular spot in the outfield for Sanchez, he may struggle to find playing time off the bench, given that his left-handedness won't make him a candidate to fill a short-side platoon role.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Appears set for starting role Sanchez remains the favorite to begin the season as the starting left fielder for the Marlins, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Miami has a lot of moving parts in its outfield which complicates the picture, however. Avisail Garcia seems set in right field, but Jazz Chisholm is having a bit of a bumpy transition to center field when it comes to his defense, which could prompt the Marlins to keep multiple backup options on the Opening Day roster. Sanchez is out of minor-league options, which gives him an edge over Bryan De La Cruz for the left-field job, but either could step in for Chisholm in center if necessary. Jorge Soler, the regular designated hitter, can also handle corner outfield duties. Sanchez has gone 9-for-27 this spring with four doubles and three stolen bases, but his 1:8 BB:K suggests the plate discipline issues that have dogged him in the majors haven't yet been solved.

MARCH 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes bag in spring opener Sanchez went 1-for-2 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets.

Impact The 25-year-old outfielder has only one career stolen base on two attempts in 172 MLB games, so normally a random spring steal wouldn't mean much. However, Sanchez has a solid sprint speed that was in the 71st percentile in 2021 according to Baseball Savant, and the league's rule changes to benefit the running game could allow players like him to make a contribution in the category and add a little more juice to their fantasy value. First though, Sanchez will have to prove he can get on base enough to take advantage of those rule changes after managing a career .221/.291/.423 slash line to date.

Why Soler, Garcia, Rogers and Jesus Sanchez believe they can rebound. The reasons for hope Four key Marlins hope to return to past form

FEBRUARY 15, 2023 • MIAMIHERALD.COM

Homers in loss Sanchez went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Sanchez provided all the offense for Miami in this one, launching a solo home run off Jake Odorizzi in the bottom of the fourth inning. The homer was his 13th of the season and first since returning to the big leagues Sept. 29. In three games since getting called up, Sanchez has gone 4-for-8 with a home run, two doubles and two RBI.

OCTOBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Three hits in Monday's win Sanchez went 3-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in Monday's 4-0 win over Atlanta.

Impact The 24-year-old has had a tough season in the majors overall, slashing .212/.275/.394 through 96 games with 12 homers and 34 RBI, but Sanchez will get another couple chances to head into the offseason on a high note. The Marlins' outfield picture remains very unsettled, and Sanchez is by no means out of the team's plans for next year despite his disappointing 2022.

OCTOBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Saturday Sanchez will sit Saturday against the Brewers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Sanchez was recalled Friday and joined the lineup as the designated hitter, going 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. Bryan De La Cruz will fill that spot Saturday with lefty Aaron Ashby on the mound for Milwaukee.
