Belts two homers Sanchez went 2-for-4 with two solo homers in Sunday's win over the Rangers.

Impact Sanchez went deep in the fourth and fifth innings to lead the Padres to a series sweep. While he's cooled down this month, the veteran catcher has still knocked five home runs while registering a .795 OPS in 19 July games. For the season, he's slashing .213/.289/.475 with 18 extra-base hits and 32 RBI.

Splitting catching, DH duties Sanchez will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Impact The recent arrival of Brett Sullivan from Triple-A El Paso to provide the Friars with a third option behind the plate looks as though it'll be beneficial to both Sanchez and Luis Campusano. The two have now both been included in the lineup in five consecutive games, with one starting at catcher and the other starting at designated hitter. The Padres' remaining bench options beyond Sullivan (Matt Carpenter, Matthew Batten and Alfonso Rivas) haven't made compelling cases to see more work at DH, so Sanchez's playing time should be fairly secure while he's been able to stay productive at the plate. In 11 games since the All-Star break, Sanchez has slashed .235/.341/.559 with three home runs and 5:4 BB:K.

JULY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Collects three hits, three RBI Sanchez went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Pirates.

Impact Sanchez posted his second three-hit game of the campaign and had his first multi-hit effort since June 30. The 30-year-old is batting just .208 in July but has hits in four of his past five games, going 6-for-16 with two homers and six RBI.

Remains on bench Sanchez will sit for the second straight game Saturday against the Tigers, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Sanchez generated a fair amount of excitement by hitting .255/.300/.681 with six homers in his first 13 games as a Padre, but things have gone downhill fast since then. In his last 29 games, he's homered just three times while slashing .159/.257/.284. Luis Campusano starts for the second consecutive game behind the plate and could be in the process of claiming the starting role.

Not in lineup Wednesday Sanchez is not in the lineup Wednesday at Toronto.

Impact Luis Campusano, who returned from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, will start at catcher and bat seventh versus the Blue Jays and right-hander Jose Berrios. Fernando Tatis is taking a turn as the Padres' designated hitter.

JULY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Opens second half with homer Sanchez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 8-3 win over Philadelphia.

Impact Sanchez produced the first run of the contest with a solo shot to left field in the third inning. The long ball was his first since June 22 and just his second across his past 24 contests. Sanchez has slashed a paltry .167/.268/.278 over that stretch, though he's at least managed to keep his strikeout rate (22.0 percent) in check while posting a healthy 12.2 percent walk rate. The veteran's season slash line of .200/.273/.424 over 139 plate appearances is far from exceptional, but with eight homers and 22 RBI, he's been easily San Diego's best offensive option behind the plate.
