Jesus Sanchez Starting On The Bench Against Rays

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez will retreat to the bench on Tuesday with the team facing the visiting Tampa Bay Rays. Jorge Soler is starting in right field and batting in the two-hole, while Josh Bell will serve as the designated hitter and bat third against rays right-hander Aaron Civale. Sanchez could use a day off, as he's gone 2-for-17 (.118) with no homers, a double, a triple, three RBI and a run scored in his last eight games (six starts) since Aug. 19. Overall, the 25-year-old Dominican outfielder has had a decent fourth year in Miami, batting .262 (72-for-275) with 10 home runs, 20 doubles, two triples, 42 RBI, three stolen bases and 32 runs scored in 96 games. Sanchez is currently five homers away from setting a new career-high in that statistic.

Jesus Sanchez Out Versus Lefty On Tuesday

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez is taking a seat on the bench to begin Tuesday's game against lefty Blake Snell and the San Diego Padres. The 25-year-old has broken out this season with a .269/.332/.466 slash line, 10 home runs, 31 runs, 40 RBI, and three steals across 91 contests, but hasn't faced many left-handers thanks to a career .584 OPS against southpaws. Avisail Garcia will take his spot in the outfield and bat fifth. The veteran hasn't been productive since 2021 and has posted a .189 batting average across 36 games this season, so fantasy managers can keep him on the waiver wire in all leagues.

Jesus Sanchez Back In Action Tuesday

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez is back in the starting lineup Tuesday night against the visiting Houston Astros and right-hander Cristian Javier. The 25-year-old didn't start Monday's series opener but did enter his club's 5-1 win to play defense in place of right fielder Jorge Soler in the ninth inning. Sanchez has dealt with injuries this season but has been productive when healthy, hitting .264 with 10 homers, three stolen bases, and a .785 OPS, production that sits 13% above the league average, according to his 113 wRC+. He has a solid matchup on tap against Javier who has surrendered an .823 OPS to left-handed hitters this season.

Jesus Sanchez, Joey Wendle Out Against Southpaw

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez and infielder Joey Wendle are both starting on the bench on Monday with the club facing Houston Astros left-hander Framber Valdez. Avisail Garcia is starting in left field and is batting seventh, while Jon Berti will handle shortstop and hit in the nine-hole on Monday against Valdez. Sanchez is hitting .280 against left-handed hurlers this year, but he's faced them only 27 times in 2023 and will likely continue to sit when the team faces a southpaw. Wendle, meanwhile, is pretty much in the same boat as Sanchez when it comes to facing lefties. The 33-year-old has faced them 25 times this year and has gone 6-for-23 (.261) with no home runs or RBI.

Jesus Sanchez Back In Friday's Lineup

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez (neck) is back in action on Friday, starting in center field and batting cleanup against the visiting Detroit Tigers and right-hander Reese Olson. Sanchez left the game early on Wednesday with neck tightness, but it wasn't a serious injury and he'll be available for a series against the Tigers this weekend. The 25-year-old Dominican left-handed hitter doesn't usually play much against left-handed pitchers, but he's an option for fantasy managers in deep-mixed leagues when he's facing righties. In 72 games (233 plate appearances) for the Marlins in his fourth major-league season in 2023, Sanchez is hitting .258 (55-for-213) with 10 homers, 16 doubles, 35 RBI, three steals and 26 runs. Nine of his 10 homers have come against righties.

Jesus Sanchez Dealing With Neck Tightness

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez (neck) left the team's game early on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays due to neck tightness, according to the club. It was initially speculated that Sanchez injured his leg after having to be helped off the field. Until we know more about the 25-year-old's neck injury, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. The Fish have a day off on Friday, so hopefully he'll be back in action on Friday for the series opener against the visiting Detroit Tigers. Sanchez went 0-for-1 in his lone at-bat on Wednesday before being replaced by Garrett Hampson in right field. He entered Wednesday's contest hitting .259/.323/.476 with 10 home runs, 16 doubles, 35 RBI, three stolen bases and 26 runs scored in 71 games in 2023.

Jesus Sanchez, Joey Wendle Sitting Out Wednesday

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez and infielder Joey Wendle are both sitting out on Wednesday against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals and left-hander Matthew Liberatore. Jorge Soler is starting in right field and batting second, while Jon Berti will handle shortstop and hit ninth in the batting order against Liberatore. Sanchez is hitting .294 against lefties in 2023, but it's come in a small sample size of only 17 at-bats. He's currently riding a modest five-game hitting streak that has seen him go 7-for-18 (.389) with two homers and eight RBI. Wendle, who also hits from the left side of the plate, is hitting .455 against southpaws, but in only 11 at-bats in 2023. He's gone 11-for-31 (.355) with no homers or RBI in his last eight games played.
