Jesús Sánchez - Page 16 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Homers in second straight game Sanchez went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Reds.

Impact Sanchez launched a two-run shot off Tyler Mahle in the first inning and it was enough to guide Miami to a win in the low-scoring affair. It was the sixth homer of the year for the rookie outfielder and his second in as many games. The 23-year-old is 8-for-43 (.186) in August, lowering his season slash line to .238/.299/.444 through 137 plate appearances.

Mashes fifth homer Sanchez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Reds.

Impact The 23-year-old supplied the big blow in a five-run first inning with a three-run shot off Vladimir Gutierrez, Sanchez's fifth homer of the year. He's been struggling to find his timing since coming off the COVID-19 list in mid-August, however, slashing .175/.267/.400 over his last 12 games with a 4:14 BB:K.

AUGUST 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat Saturday Sanchez is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact After an 0-for-3 effort Saturday, Sanchez is hitting .286 with five extra-base hits and four RBI in his last 10 games. Bryan De La Cruz shifts to right field Saturday, with Jorge Alfaro getting the start in left.

AUGUST 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Belts fourth homer Sanchez went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 11-9 loss to Atlanta.

Impact After going hitless in the first two games of the series following his return from the COVID-19 injured list, Sanchez went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Wednesday before hitting a two-out home run in his final at-bat of the night in the ninth inning. Over 100 plate appearances in the majors this season, Sanchez is slashing a modest .245/.290/.426, but that will probably be enough for him to stick in an everyday role in the corner outfield for the rebuilding Marlins.

AUGUST 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Sanchez was activated off the COVID-19 injured list Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Sanchez wound up spending a full month on the injured list, but he's ready return after going 4-for-12 with a homer and three walks across four rehab games. He'll bat cleanup and play right field against Atlanta in his return to action.

AUGUST 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Starting rehab assignment Sanchez (COVID-19 injured list) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Sanchez has been on the COVID-19 IL since mid-July, and he entered the return-to-play protocol in late July. Although the 23-year-old has been participating in workouts recently, he'll still require some time in the minors prior to rejoining the Marlins. Sanchez is expected to serve as Miami's starting left fielder once he's reinstated from the injured list.

AUGUST 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gearing up for return Marlins manager Don Mattingly said Tuesday that Sanchez (COVID-19 injured list) has entered the return-to-play protocol, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mattingly's comments suggest that Sanchez has completed a quarantine period and is ready to participate in full baseball activities after having been shut down for the past week and a half. The young outfielder may need a few days' worth of workouts to regain conditioning, and he could be sent out on a short minor-league rehab assignment before the Marlins reinstate him from the IL. Once he gets the green light to rejoin the big club, Sanchez could settle back in as Miami's everyday left fielder.

JULY 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on injured list Sanchez (undisclosed) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday.

Impact The Marlins didn't provide an injury designation or specify which list Sanchez was placed on, so he may be on the COVID-19 IL. If that's the case, the 23-year-old could rejoin the team as soon as he clears the health and safety protocols, though he officially has no timetable for his return. Garrett Cooper should see more run in the outfield while Sanchez is unavailable.

JULY 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

First career three-hit game Sanchez went 3-for-4 with a triple, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over Atlanta.

Impact The left fielder came up a home run shy of the cycle in his first career three-hit game. Sanchez has seen regular playing time since he was called up June 15. The 23-year-old has a .265/.315/.434 slash line with three home runs, nine RBI and six runs scored through 23 contests, and he's even managed to trim his strikeout rate down to 27.0 percent.

JULY 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Saturday's lineup Sanchez will sit for Saturday's game against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Sanchez hasn't done much at the plate in 21 games this season, hitting .221/.277/.364 with three homers. Adam Duvall slides to left field in his absence, with Garrett Cooper starting in right.

JULY 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Socks third homer Sanchez went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 9-6 win over the Dodgers.

Impact His solo shot off Mitch White in the second inning gave the Marlins an early 2-0 lead. Sanchez snapped a 12-game power drought with the blast, and the 23-year-old is slashing .243/.303/.400 through 19 contests with three homers and nine RBI since his promotion.

JULY 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting versus lefty Sanchez is out of the lineup Friday against Atlanta.

Impact Sanchez was withheld from the lineup for Thursday's contest before it was postponed due to rain, and he'll remain on the bench Friday with lefty Drew Smyly starting for Atlanta. Adam Duvall and Garrett Cooper will start in the corner outfield spots for Miami.

JULY 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Thursday Sanchez is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Marlins will rest two of their rookies in the series finale in second baseman Jazz Chisholm and Sanchez, who had started in each of the team's last 27 and 13 games, respectively. Garrett Cooper will draw a start in the corner outfield in place of Sanchez, who is hitting .235 with two home runs and seven RBI since his June 15 call-up from Triple-A Jacksonville.

JULY 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Locked in as everyday player Sanchez is expected to fill an everyday role in left field for the remainder of the season after the Marlins dealt Corey Dickerson (foot) to the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Craig Mish of...

Impact Since Dickerson's foot injury was expected to sideline him until after the All-Star break, Sanchez's playing time was already well insulated, but the trade only boosts the rookie's job security further. After posting a monstrous 1.043 OPS at Triple-A Jacksonville before earning a mid-June call-up, Sanchez's production has predictably taken a step back at the big-league level, but he's at least shown an improved approach at the dish of late. Since striking out 11 times while drawing zero walks over his first seven games with Miami, Sanchez has a 2:2 BB:K over his past four contests.

JUNE 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Swats second homer Sanchez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact The 23-year-old gave the Marlins an early lead by taking Ross Stripling deep in the second inning, but it was the only offense the team could muster. Sanchez has gone yard twice in the last three games and has a five-game hitting streak going after an 0-for-4 showing in his season debut, but he also has a 0:9 BB:K through those first six games.

JUNE 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Hits first big-league homer Sanchez went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and run-scoring single during Saturday's 11-1 win over the Cubs.

Impact Sanchez can thank some suspect Cubs' defense for his first big-league RBI, as his fifth-inning popup wound up falling on the infield grass and was later ruled a run-scoring single. His next RBI was well-earned, as he took a Rex Brothers' fastball the opposite way for his first major-league homer in the seventh inning. Sanchez has started three games since receiving the call to the big leagues Tuesday, recording two hits in 13 at-bats while striking out six times.

JUNE 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Draws second straight start Sanchez will start in right field and bat third Wednesday against the Cardinals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact After getting called up Tuesday following his red-hot start to the season at Triple-A Jacksonville, Sanchez picked up a start in left field and went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the Marlins' 2-1 loss. He'll shift over to right field to fill in for a resting Adam Duvall on Wednesday, but expect Sanchez to pick up most of his starts in left for the time being while both Garrett Cooper (back) and Corey Dickerson (foot) are on the injured list.

Marlins News: Top Prospect Jesus Sanchez Set for 2021 MLB Debut Miami Marlins top prospect Jesus Sanchez will make his 2021 MLB debut after getting called up in June.

JUNE 15, 2021 • FANDUEL.COM

Set to join Miami The Marlins plan to call Sanchez up from Triple-A New Orleans on Tuesday, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

Impact Sanchez projects for big raw power and big swing-and-miss issues. He only demonstrated the latter in his brief debut last year, striking at a 37.9 percent clip while going just 1-for-25 at the plate. He's fared far better in 33 games for Triple-A Jacksonville this season, striking out just 19.3 percent of the time while hitting .349 with nine homers. Exactly what kind of role he'll play at the big-league level remains to be seen, but it's likely that he'll be given a chance to show what he can do.

JUNE 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Unstoppable at Triple-A Sanchez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday in Triple-A Jacksonville's 5-4 win over Norfolk.

Impact Just over half way through the first month of the minor-league season, no hitter has been more productive than Sanchez. Incredibly, the 2-for-4 outing actually lowered the 23-year-old's batting average, which now sits at .510. A ridiculous .594 BABIP has certainly aided Sanchez, but the outfielder isn't merely getting by a cheap base knocks. Eleven of his 27 hits have gone for extra bases.

MAY 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Blistering start at Triple-A Sanchez is slashing .571/.600/1.179 with four homers and 14 RBI through seven games for Triple-A Jacksonville.

Impact The 23-year-old is one of the hottest hitters in the minors through the first week of action. The Marlins have bypassed Sanchez for a promotion so far while trying to fill a hole in center field left by Starling Marte (ribs), but if he keeps raking, he should get another shot at the majors in the near future after a disappointing 2020 debut.

MAY 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Activated and optioned The Marlins activated Sanchez (groin) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to their alternate training site, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Sanchez was sidelined for the last couple weeks of spring training with the strained right groin, but he looks like he'll be back to full strength when the minor-league season gets underway in May. Expect the Marlins to assign him to Triple-A Jacksonville, where he'll be able to play the outfield on an everyday basis.

APRIL 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for light activity Marlins general manager Kim Ng said Monday that Sanchez (groin) has resumed hitting off a tee and has also been cleared for light sprinting, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Sanchez is in the initial stage of a running progression after the Marlins shut him down a week ago with a right groin strain. The injury has taken Sanchez out of the mix for a spot on the Marlins' Opening Day roster, but he was never especially likely to break camp with the big club since veterans Adam Duvall and Corey Dickerson are both projected to handle full-time roles in the corner outfield to begin the season. Assuming he avoids any further setbacks in his recovery from the groin strain, Sanchez could be ready to go when Triple-A Jacksonville begins its season in May.

MARCH 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Tending to groin injury Sanchez will begin a rehab program this week to address a lingering right groin strain, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact With established veterans in Adam Duvall and Corey Dickerson expected to man the corner outfield for Miami in 2021, Sanchez wasn't a strong candidate to break camp with the big club anyway, but the groin injury should officially take him out of the running for an Opening Day roster spot. Sanchez, who hadn't made a Grapefruit League appearance since March 8, should have a good chance at being ready to go for the start of Triple-A Jacksonville's season in early May.

MARCH 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to alternate camp Sanchez was optioned to the Marlins' alternate training site Tuesday.

Impact Sanchez saw a major decrease in playing time recently as he started just one of the past five games while slashing .040/.172/.080 on the season. The 22-year-old will attempt to straighten things out at alternate camp. Jazz Chisholm was recalled in a corresponding move.
