Heads to minors The Cardinals optioned Sanchez to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday, Jim Hayes of Bally Sports Midwest reports.

Impact Yadier Molina and Andrew Knizner are both healthy and are St. Louis' clear top two catchers heading into Opening Day, so Sanchez's demotion was fully expected. The 25-year-old backstop has logged just 14 career plate appearances in the big leagues and isn't expected to see extended action with St. Louis at any point in 2022 so long as Molina and Knizner are available.

Impact Sanchez was recalled by the Cardinals but made just one appearance and went 1-for-1 with a double. He should see more consistent at-bats in Memphis, while his demotion makes room for right-hander Justin Miller (elbow), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Called up by Cardinals Sanchez was recalled by the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Impact The Cardinals need an extra backstop with Yadier Molina (foot) landing on the injured list, and Sanchez is the next man up. The 24-year-old went 1-for-9 at the plate during his brief debut with the Mets last season and hasn't produced a league-average batting line since rookie ball. He'll likely serve as Andrew Knizner's backup during his time with the team.
