|
Jun 2 2025 | Sanchez is scheduled to start Tuesday's series opener against the Blue Jays in Toronto, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez was initially slated to take the hill for the second game of the series Wednesday, but he'll be pushed up a day in the schedule with ace Zack Wheeler skipping the trip to Toronto and remaining in Philadelphia while he awaits the birth of his child. As a result of the change, Sanchez now lines up for two starts this week, with his second turn set to come Sunday in Pittsburgh. |

May 29 2025 | Sanchez did not factor into the decision in the opening game of Thursday's doubleheader against Atlanta. He allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez got off to a strong start, holding Atlanta scoreless through his first five innings. However, the southpaw would run into trouble in the sixth, where he'd ultimately allow two runs on three hits before leaving the game one out shy of a quality start. Overall, it was a step in the right direction for Sanchez after he allowed three runs on eight hits in just 4.2 innings in his last outing against the A's. His ERA now sits at 3.32 with a 1.31 WHIP and 70:22 K:BB through 11 starts (59.2 innings) this year. Sanchez is currently lined up to face the Blue Jays on the road in his next start. |

He was pulled from this one at 83 pitches (49 strikes) after an ineffective performance. Despite the shaky outing, Sanchez has given up more than three runs just once all year. He's pitched to a 3.17 ERA despite a 1.26 WHIP and 65:20 K:BB over 54 innings that would suggest he's gotten lucky to strand some traffic on the basepaths. Sanchez's next outing is tentatively projected to be at home versus Atlanta, though he could be pushed back to a home start versus Milwaukee if Taijuan Walker gets another start. |
|

The southpaw recorded 10 whiffs and threw 63 of 89 pitches for strikes while issuing zero walks for the first time this season. Sanchez has been quite effective on the campaign, posting a 3.10 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 59:17 K:BB through 49.1 frames. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start on the road against the Athletics. |

Ivan Herrera later drilled a solo homer in the sixth. Sanchez has allowed two or fewer earned runs in seven of his eight outings this season, including an active six-start streak. He produced 13 whiffs Monday, including eight with his changeup. Sanchez is sporting an impressive 2.91 ERA with a 52:17 K:BB across 43.1 innings. He's in line for a home matchup against the Pirates this weekend. |
|
May 7 2025 | Sanchez (4-1) grabbed the win Wednesday against the Rays after allowing one hit and three walks in six scoreless innings. He struck out five. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez was brilliant, yielding just a Junior Caminero single in the first inning and then keeping the Rays out of the hit column for the rest of his outing. Although he generated a middling eight whiffs and tied a season high with three walks, the left-hander kept Tampa Bay guessing by inducing a whopping 11 groundouts to only one flyout. Sanchez hasn't given up a home run in any of his last three starts. He'll bring a strong 2.89 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 44:14 K:BB over 37.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance versus the Cardinals, which lines up for next week. |
|
Apr 30 2025 | Sanchez (3-1) earned the win Wednesday against the Nationals after allowing two runs on five hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out six. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After being limited to two innings due to forearm soreness in his last start against the Mets, Sanchez looked sharp and didn't appear to be facing any restrictions Wednesday. While he did lend a season-high three free passes, the left-hander generated 13 whiffs and yielded just one extra-base hit. Sanchez has thrown at least five innings in five of his six outings this season, and he'll take a steady 3.45 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 39:11 K:BB over 31.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the Rays. |

Sanchez still walked away with his first win and first quality start of the season, having tossed 64 of 95 pitches for strikes. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Giants. |
|
Apr 6 2025 | Sanchez did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 8-7 win against the Dodgers, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk with nine strikeouts over 5.2 innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Teoscar Hernandez did all the damage against Sanchez, homering twice and driving in all four runs the southpaw surrendered. He was otherwise fantastic, tossing 60 of 88 pitches for strikes with 15 whiffs. The 28-year-old owns a 4.09 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB through 11 frames and lines up for a road matchup with the Cardinals next weekend. |

It's also worth noting that Sanchez has experienced a bump in velocity thus far, with his sinker averaging 97 mph Friday, per Paul Casella of MLB.com. |
|
Oct 9 2024 | Sanchez is available in relief Wednesday in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Mets, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez has had just two days to rest after throwing 88 pitches in Game 2, but he will be available for at least a couple innings out of the bullpen in Game 4, if needed. The left-hander took a no-decision in Game 2, permitting two runs over five frames. |
|
Oct 4 2024 | Phillies manager Rob Thomson announced Friday that Sanchez will start Sunday in NLDS Game 2 versus the Mets, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Zack Wheeler will get the ball in Game 1, which is no surprise, but Sanchez being the choice over Aaron Nola for Game 2 is a twist. The Phillies' thinking behind the decision is that Sanchez has pitched much better at home (2.21 ERA) than on the road (5.02 ERA), and they can also be more aggressive with their bullpen in Game 2 since an off day follows. Nola will get the ball in Game 3 in New York. |
|
Sep 25 2024 | Sanchez came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's win over the Cubs, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out four in 4.2 innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez was cruising until Nico Hoerner got a hold of one for a three-run blast in the fourth inning.

The 27-year-old finishes his breakout season with a robust 3.32 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 153:44 K:BB in 181.2 innings (31 starts), setting career highs in wins, ERA and strikeouts. Although he did not have his best stuff tonight, Sanchez appears primed for the playoffs -- the southpaw posted a 1.80 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 25:7 K:BB in four September starts (25 innings) prior to Wednesday. |
|
Sep 20 2024 | Sanchez (11-9) picked up the win Friday versus the Mets, allowing two runs on three hits and five walks over five innings. He struck out seven. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Although he issued a career-high five walks, the 27-year-old lefty managed to collect a win thanks to the ability to induce grounders (70 percent groundball rate) in this contest. Out of the three hits Sanchez allowed, the only two extra-base hits -- one homer and one double -- came off the bat of leadoff hitter Jose Iglesias. Sanchez has been punching out batters at a greater clip over his last six starts, producing a 10.1 K/9 over his last 36.2 innings, compared to a 6.9 K/9 across his first 140.1 frames this season. He is slated to make his next outing against the Cubs at home next week. |
|

He yielded a leadoff homer to Tyrone Taylor and a single to Harrison Bader to start the eighth before being removed.

He's tentatively scheduled for a rematch with the Mets next weekend. |
|

|
Sep 4 2024 | Sanchez (10-9) earned the win Wednesday over the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on six hits over seven innings. He struck out seven. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez allowed a pair of runs on three doubles in the first inning before settling in to blank Toronto over his final six frames, allowing just three more hits. It was another strong outing from the left-hander, who's pitched to a 2.60 ERA over his last four outings (27.2 innings). Overall, Sanchez sports a 3.45 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP and 131:36 K:BB across a career-high 159 innings this season. He's currently slated to face the Rays at home early next week in his next start. |

He gave up three of the four runs on his line Thursday on a pair of home runs by Matt Olson, but Philadelphia was able to come from behind for the win. Sanchez hadn't given up multiple homers in any of his first 25 starts this season, though he's now yielded seven long balls over 10 starts since the beginning of July.

The lefty would allow the leadoff man to reach in five of his six innings of work while also allowing nine hits on the night -- the second-most he's allowed in a start this season. On the bright side, Sanchez matched his third-highest strikeout total of the campaign in Thursday's loss and he's now posted quality starts in three of his last four outings. |
|
Aug 18 2024 | Sanchez (9-8) picked up the win Saturday, allowing one run on two hits over nine innings in a 5-1 victory over the Nationals. He struck out four without walking a batter. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw was incredibly efficient in his second complete game of the season, firing 71 of 99 pitches for strikes, and an Alex Call solo shot in the fourth inning was the only blemish on his performance. Sanchez followed up his other nine-inning gem, a shutout of the Marlins on June 28, with a seven-run stinker against the Cubs -- an outing that began a tough stretch in which the 27-year-old posted a 6.63 ERA over the seven starts prior to Saturday. Sanchez will look to avoid a similar swoon in his next start, which lines up to come on the road next week in Atlanta. |
|
Aug 12 2024 | Sanchez (8-8) took the loss Sunday against the Diamondbacks, allowing seven runs on 12 hits and two walks while striking out four in 4.2 innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Diamondbacks pushed a run across in the first before opening things up with four more runs in the third against Sanchez. He eventually exited after allowing back-to-back base hits in the fifth and both runners came around to score on a bases-clearing triple by Jake McCarthy. Sunday was Sanchez's first time going fewer than five innings since he gave up seven runs versus the Cubs on July 4, and his 12 hits allowed was a season worst. Sanchez has a 6.63 ERA over his last seven starts and is now up to 131.1 innings pitched this season, which is 32 more innings than his previous career high. He'll look to turn things around in a projected meeting against the Nationals over the weekend. |
|
Aug 7 2024 | Sanchez (8-7) got the win Tuesday against the Dodgers, allowing one run on five hits and a walk while striking out two over six innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez blanked the Dodgers into the sixth inning, but Teoscar Hernandez led off the frame with a double and eventually came around to score. The southpaw has now struck out just two batters in three of his past four starts, though on the bright side Tuesday marked his first time going at least six innings and allowing one run or zero since he threw a shutout June 28. The 27-year-old now owns a 3.27 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 100:32 K:BB in 126.2 innings and lines up to face the Diamondbacks over the weekend. |
|
Jul 31 2024 | Sanchez (7-7) took the loss against the Yankees Wednesday, allowing six runs on eight hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out seven. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez didn't pitch as poorly as his final line would indicate Wednesday -- the majority of the damage against him came on DJ LeMahieu's grand slam in the second inning. The left-hander would then keep the Yankees off the board for three straight innings -- however, Sanchez allowed a pair of two-out singles in the sixth before he was replaced by Jose Ruiz, who would allow both inherited runners to score. It's the third straight loss for Sanchez, who's struggled to a 6.59 ERA in his last five outings. His ERA is up to 3.36 on the season with a 1.28 WHIP and 98:31 K:BB across 21 starts (120.2 innings). Sanchez will look to get back on track his next time out -- he's currently in line for a tough road matchup with the Dodgers early next week. |
|
Jul 26 2024 | Sanchez (7-6) took the loss Friday vs the Guardians, giving up three runs on eight hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out two. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez got little run support from his offense, as he ended up with the loss despite tossing a quality start. Sanchez now has lost three of his last four starts after a streak of 11 consecutive outings without a loss. The 27-year-old remains a steady option with quality starts in nine of his last 14 starts, and he's allowed just three home runs in 115 innings this season. Sanchez will take a 3.05 ERA into his next start, tentatively scheduled vs the Yankees. |
|
Jul 21 2024 | Sanchez (7-5) took the loss Saturday as the Phillies were downed 4-1 by the Pirates, giving up two runs on eight hits over 5.2 innings. He struck out two without walking a batter. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw didn't pitch poorly, tossing 56 of 90 pitches for strikes as he fell just short of his 11th quality start of the season, but the Phillies' offense couldn't solve Luis Ortiz. Sanchez has allowed two runs or less in five of his last six starts, posting a 2.79 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 28:5 K:BB in 38.2 innings over that stretch. He'll look for a better result in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Guardians. |
|
Jul 11 2024 | Sanchez (7-4) picked up the win in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over the Dodgers, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw produced his 10th quality start of the season, and fourth in his last five trips to the mound, on 91 pitches (67 strikes). Over that stretch, Sanchez has gone 4-1 with a 2.73 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 26:5 K:BB through 33 innings. The 27-year-old has already set a career high with 103.1 big-league innings this season, but he's in no danger of being shut down -- he tossed 149 innings across all levels in 2023. Sanchez will get a breather though, as he isn't scheduled to take the mound again before the All-Star break. |
|
Jul 4 2024 | Sanchez (6-4) suffered the loss Thursday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and three walks over four innings against the Cubs. He struck out three. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez' outing began in a familiar manner, allowing no runs through the first three innings while being staked with an early 2-0 lead. But Sanchez, who has done a great job this year at avoiding the big inning, couldn't escape that trap Thursday, allowing six batters to reach base during a five-run fourth, then saw his day end prematurely after the first two batters reached base in the fifth. All told, Sanchez, who was coming off a complete game shutout and had allowed just one earned run over 23 innings during his previous three starts, allowed a season-high seven runs, lifting his season ERA more than half a run from 2.41 to 2.96. He'll look to rebound next week when the Phillies host a showdown series against the Dodgers. |
|
Jun 28 2024 | Sanchez (6-3) earned the win against the Marlins on Friday, allowing three hits and no walks in a complete-game shutout while striking out nine. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez was dominant, allowing only singles and generating 16 swinging strikes on 101 pitches in his first career complete-game shutout. Since June 17, the southpaw has won three straight contests and surrendered just one earned run over 23 innings with an 18:1 K:BB. The 27-year-old owns a 2.41 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 79:24 K:BB through 93.1 innings in 2024 and will look to stay hot against the Cubs next week. |
|
Jun 23 2024 | Sanchez (5-3) earned the win Sunday, allowing three hits and striking out four over seven scoreless innings against the Diamondbacks. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez was highly efficient, needing just 80 pitches through seven and facing just one batter over the minimum thanks to a couple of timely double plays. The seven innings matched a season high for Sanchez, who tossed his eighth quality start and allowed zero runs over six or more innings for the second time this season. It's also the fifth time in his last six starts that Sanchez has allowed one or fewer runs, and he's posted a 1.78 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with 23 strikeouts over 35.1 innings during that stretch. His next start is scheduled to take place next weekend, when the Phillies welcome Miami into the City of Brotherly Love for a four-game set. |
|
Jun 22 2024 | Sanchez signed a four-year contract extension with the Phillies on Saturday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez has been a key part of Philadelphia's rotation this season, posting a 2.91 ERA and 1.36 WHIP alongside a 66:24 K:BB through 77.1 innings across 14 starts. The left-hander was already under team control through the 2028 campaign, but his extension will buy out his arbitration years and reportedly includes options for 2029 and 2030 that could allow the Phillies to keep him around longer. |
|
Jun 17 2024 | Sanchez (4-3) went seven innings and allowed two runs (one earned) to earn the win Monday against the Padres. He gave up six hits, one walk, and struck out five. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez was impressive Monday against San Diego as he allowed only one extra-base hit. It was the eighth start this season in which he's allowed one earned run or fewer. The lefty matched his season high for innings pitched and lowered his ERA to 2.91 in the process. The 27-year-old is tentatively scheduled to pitch again this weekend versus the Diamondbacks. |
|
Jun 12 2024 | Sanchez did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Red Sox, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks with two strikeouts over four innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez opened with three scoreless frames before allowing a run on a sacrifice fly in the fourth then surrendered three straight hits to open the fifth and was pulled at just 67 pitches. All three inherited runners came around to score, marking the first time since April 29 that Sanchez yielded four runs or more in a start. On the season, Sanchez now owns a 3.07 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 61:23 K:BB through 13 starts and lines up against the Padres next Monday. |

The left-hander's ERA is down to 2.71 on the year with a 1.34 WHIP and 59:21 K:BB across 12 starts (66.1 innings). Sanchez is currently lined up for a road matchup with the Red Sox next week in his next outing. |
|
May 29 2024 | Sanchez (3-3) earned the win Wednesday, holding the Giants to four hits and one walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out seven. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was another impressive effort from Sanchez, who's now held opponents to two runs or fewer in eight of his 11 starts this season. The 27-year-old left-hander lowered his ERA to 2.83 with a 1.39 WHIP and 56:20 K:BB across 60.1 innings. Sanchez will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently slated for early next week against Milwaukee. |
|
May 24 2024 | Sanchez did not factor into the decision Friday against the Rockies, allowing one run on seven hits and one walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out two. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Despite allowing eight baserunners, Sanchez managed to hold the Rockies offense in check with a 52.5 percent groundball rate. Surprisingly, the Phillies lefty collected only two strikeouts despite generating 11 whiffs in his 83 total pitches. Sanchez has thrown 54.1 innings this season, producing a 3.15 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 49:19 K:BB. The 27-year-old is currently scheduled to face the Giants on the road in his next start. |
|
May 18 2024 | Sanchez allowed two runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out eight batters over seven innings in a no-decision against Washington on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez fell behind when he gave up a first-inning run, but he allowed only one more score the rest of the way. The left-hander fanned eight batters -- his highest mark over his past five outings -- and finished with his fourth quality start of the campaign. Sanchez has been a solid fifth starter for the Phillies this season, registering a 3.31 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 47:18 K:BB over 49 innings. |
|
May 8 2024 | Sanchez (2-3) picked up the win Tuesday against Toronto, allowing one run on six hits in seven innings while striking out five and walking two. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez was coming off a pair of starts in which he allowed nine runs (five earned) in eight innings with more walks (five) than strikeouts (four), so there was some speculation that he could lose his rotation spot or fall into a piggyback situation with Spencer Turnbull where only the latter would have a chance at wins. Instead, Sanchez bounced back with an excellent outing, throwing more than 6.0 innings for the first time this year. Turnbull did follow Sanchez out of the pen, throwing the final two innings, but if Tuesday's outing is any indication, Sanchez will continue to be used as a traditional starter as long as he pitches well enough to remain in the role. |

May 4 2024 | Sanchez will start Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez was available in relief for Saturday's game, but because he wasn't needed, he's now set up to start Tuesday. Meanwhile, Spencer Turnbull will be available in relief Sunday in what could wind up being a piggyback situation with Taijuan Walker. The roles of all three pitchers seem somewhat in flux. |
|
Apr 29 2024 | Sanchez allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks over five-plus innings in a no-decision Monday. He struck out one during the loss to the Angels. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez gave up a run in each of the first two innings. He then kept the Angels quiet until he was charged with two more runs without recording an out in the sixth. It was the first time this season Sanchez has allowed more than three earned runs in an outing. He tied his lowest strikeout total and forced just a single swinging strike in the subpar performance. The 27-year-old lefty now owns a 3.68 ERA with a 29:13 K:BB through 29.1 innings. Sanchez is currently in line for a home start next week against the Giants. |
|
Apr 23 2024 | Sanchez (1-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Reds, allowing five runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks over three innings. He struck out three. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez struggled with command Tuesday, but the Phillies defense certainly didn't do him any favors, committing three errors behind the left-hander in the eventual 8-1 loss. It's a disappointing effort from Sanchez after he was dominant in his last outing versus Colorado, allowing one run while striking out 10 in a win. He now sports a 2.96 ERA with a 1.48 WHIP and 28:11 K:BB through five outings (24.1 innings) this season. Sanchez is currently slated for a road matchup with the Angles on Monday in his next start. |
|
Apr 17 2024 | Sanchez (1-2) earned the win Wednesday, allowing one unearned run on five hits and one walk with 10 strikeouts over six innings against Colorado. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez was incredible Wednesday, tying his career high in strikeouts without being responsible for a run. Although Brenton Doyle did cross the plate in the first inning, Doyle reached base on an error by Alec Bohm, excusing Sanchez of an earned run. Sanchez has delivered back-to-back quality starts and owns a 10.5 K/9 -- a career high as it stands -- across four starts. He's tentatively scheduled for a matchup with the Reds at Great American Ball Park on Apr. 24. |
|
Apr 12 2024 | Sanchez (0-2) took the loss Friday against Pittsburgh, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out six batters across six innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez put together a quality start against the Pirates and got back to recording strikeouts at a rate similar to what fantasy managers are used to from the 27-year-old, but a lack of run support from his offense will cause him to take his second loss of the season. The lefty now owns a 3.52 ERA and 1.43 WHIP through 15.1 innings over three starts and is in line to start again at home Wednesday against the Rockies. |
|
Apr 7 2024 | Sanches (0-1) took the loss Sunday versus Washington, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks across 4.1 innings. He struck out one batter. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez's strikeout production took a 180 on Sunday, going from eight K's over five innings in his 2024 debut to just a single punchout. While the thought of Sanchez becoming a plus-strikeout pitcher was nice for fantasy managers who've invested in him, Sanchez has a career K/9 of 8.7 in 42 big-league appearances (23 starts) and will likely settle in near that number this season. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Pirates for his next start. |
|
Apr 1 2024 | Sanchez did not factor into the decision Monday against the Reds, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out eight. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez blew away the Reds on Monday with an electric three-pitch mix of fastballs, changeups and sliders to gather eight strikeouts. The Phillies lefty showed increased average velocity on both his fastball (94.3-mph, up from 92.1-mph in 2023) and changeup (84.5-mph, up from 81.8-mph in 2023) over his 85-pitch outing. He managed to toss a clean five innings before being lifted in the sixth after allowing a walk and double. Sanchez is tentatively slated to face the Nationals on the road in his next start. |
|
Mar 31 2024 | Sanchez is listed as the Phillies' probable starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Reds in Philadelphia. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez was never in any real danger of missing out on a spot in the Phillies' Opening Day rotation, though his fantasy managers may want to tread carefully with him even as he heads into a likely two-start week, with his second turn set to come Sunday in Washington. The lefty was hit hard over his three Grapefruit League starts, giving up seven earned runs on 15 hits and three walks while striking out five over 7.1 innings. |
|
Mar 3 2024 | Sanchez is introducing a cutter to his repertoire this spring, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez debuted back in 2021 but got his first extended run in the rotation in 2023, finishing with a 3.44 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 18 starts and one relief appearance. Backing up those marks was a strong set of peripherals, as his strikeout rate (24.2 percent), walk rate (4.0 percent) and groundball rate (57.0 percent) all beat league average by a wide margin in the latter two cases. He lines up as the Phillies' fifth starter (barring a potential late free-agent addition) and will look to maintain or improve on those numbers of a full-season workload. Given that he threw only three pitches (sinker, changeup and slider) last season, the addition of a fourth weapon could help him do just that, particularly as it could make the Phillies more comfortable asking him to go deeper into games. |
|
Oct 19 2023 | Sanchez will start Game 4 of the NLCS on Friday against the Diamondbacks, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taijuan Walker was the presumed starter for Game 4, but Sanchez will instead get the ball in a pivotal matchup. Sanchez pitched well during the regular season, maintaining a 3.44 ERA with a 20.2 K-BB% across 99.1 innings. He has yet to appear in a postseason contest during his career. |
|
Sep 24 2023 | Sanchez (3-5) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk over seven innings Sunday, striking out 10 and earning a win over the Mets. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez kept the Mets off the board until Ronny Mauricio belted a two-run shot in the sixth inning. Sanchez forced 20 whiffs for the second time this month; prior to racking up 21 swinging strikes against Atlanta on Sept. 13, his season high was just 12. He's been shaky since the start of August, posting a 4.24 ERA in nine starts, but he's recorded a strong 54:8 K:BB during that stretch. Sanchez will carry a 3.48 ERA into his next start, which is currently lined up to be on the road against the Mets. |
|
Sep 19 2023 | Sanchez (2-5) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk over four innings against Atlanta. He struck out two. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was another rough outing for Sanchez, who's now allowed seven runs on 15 hits in his last two outings (11.1 innings), both against Atlanta. Overall, the 26-year-old southpaw sports a 3.55 ERA with a 1.09 WHIP and 85:15 K:BB across 17 starts (91.1 innings) this season. Sanchez is currently slated for a home matchup with the Mets in his next outing, though he could be set up for another "tandem start" with Michael Lorenzen. |
|
Sep 17 2023 | Sanchez is expected to be piggybacked by Michael Lorenzen in his next scheduled start Tuesday in Atlanta, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the Phillies likely to pare down their six-man rotation to five as the regular season winds down, Lorenzen looks set to make his first appearance as a reliever since the 2021 season. Sanchez will keep his rotation spot over Lorenzen for now, but both pitchers could be moved to the bullpen once the postseason begins. With manager Rob Thomson not clarifying exactly how long he plans to have Sanchez work before giving way to Lorenzen, Sanchez could struggle to reach the five innings he would need to qualify for a win. Sanchez would tentatively line up for his second start of the week next Sunday against the Mets, but he could be piggybacked by Lorenzen for that game, too. |
|
Sep 8 2023 | Sanchez did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing four hits and one walk over five scoreless innings against Miami. He struck out four. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Following an eight-day layoff since his previous start, Sanchez kept the Marlins off the board and left the game in line for the win. However, the Phillies' bullpen allowed three runs to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Sanchez has now allowed two or fewer runs in 10 of his 15 starts this season. He'll carry an ERA of 3.26 into his next start, currently scheduled to take place mid-week in an important home series against Atlanta. |
|
Aug 31 2023 | Sanchez did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing five runs (three earned) on seven hits over 4.2 innings against the Angels. He struck out five. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It looked like Sanchez had found his rhythm after giving up a two-run homer to Hunter Renfroe in the top of the second as the left-hander followed up the mistake by hurling two scoreless frames. However, things unraveled for him in the fifth after he allowed back-to-back hits to open the inning, which then led to three runs coming across for Los Angeles. Sanchez had gone six innings in three straight starts coming in and it was the first time he failed to make it through at least five frames since June 17. On a positive note, he has not issued a walk in each of his last three outings and has now recorded at least five strikeouts in five straight. |
|
Aug 25 2023 | Sanchez (2-3) earned the win Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and zero walks over six innings against St. Louis. He struck out six. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez climbed into a hole early, allowing a one-out two-run homer to Paul Goldschmidt in the first, but then settled down to not allow another run throughout the remainder of his outing. Sanchez has provided quality innings for the Phillies this year, allowing three or fewer runs in 12 of 13 starts. He'll take an ERA of 3.33 into his next start, which is currently scheduled to take place Wednesday afternoon at home against the Angels. |
|
Aug 20 2023 | Sanchez came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 12-3 win over the Nationals, giving up three runs (two earned) on seven hits over six innings. He struck out five without walking a batter. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw delivered his second straight quality start on an efficient 78 pitches (54 strikes), but Sanchez actually exited the game in line for his fourth loss as the Phillies didn't even get on the board until the top of the seventh inning. With Ranger Suarez (hamstring) on the shelf, Sanchez's spot in the rotation is secure for now, but he was already making a strong case to hang onto the assignment -- since the All-Star break, he's posted a 3.69 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 36:8 K:BB through 39 innings. His next turn is likely to come at home next weekend against the Cardinals. |
|
Aug 12 2023 | Sanchez (1-3) picked up the win in Friday's 13-2 rout of the Twins, giving up two runs on six hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out five. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After Sanchez failed to get into the win column in his first 10 starts of the season, the Phillies' offense made sure this decision wasn't going to be in any doubt. The quality start was the fourth of the year for the 26-year-old lefty, but both runs off Sanchez came on solo homers, and he's now served up 11 long balls in his last 50 innings. His overall stinginess has minimized the damage, however -- over that stretch, he has a 3.42 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 43:9 K:BB. With two off days coming up next week, the Phillies may not continue rolling with a six-man rotation, so despite his effectiveness as a starter in 2023, Sanchez's next appearance could come in long relief. |
|
Jul 30 2023 | Sanchez did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two walks over five hitless innings against the Pirates. He struck out three. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez also hit three batters before departing the game after five innings without allowing a hit. The 26-year-old left-hander has still yet to earn a win this season despite pitching to a 2.12 ERA over his last six starts. Overall, Sanchez is 0-3 with a 2.66 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 41:8 K:BB across nine starts (47.1 innings) this season. He'll look to get in the win column in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week against Kansas City. |
|
Jul 24 2023 | Sanchez did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing two runs on four hits over seven innings in a 3-2 loss against the Orioles. He struck out eight. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez was excellent Monday, setting a new career high with eight strikeouts while allowing just two runs on a pair of solo homers. Despite his 0-3 record, the 26-year-old left-hander has been solid for the Phillies of late, posting a 2.48 ERA over his last five starts. Sanchez now sports a 2.98 ERA with a 0.97 WHIP and 38:6 K:BB through eight starts (42.1 innings) this season. He's currently lined up to make his next start Sunday against the Pirates. |
|
Jul 20 2023 | Sanchez didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Brewers, giving up three runs (one earned) on six hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out three. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: An Edmundo Sosa error in the second inning contributed to a three-run inning for Milwaukee, but Sanchez otherwise held the Brewers in check and saw his offense tie the game up before he left the mound. The southpaw has worked at least five innings and allowed three runs or fewer in five straight starts, posting a 3.00 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 20:3 K:BB through 27 innings over that stretch as he helps steady the back of the Phillies' rotation. Sanchez's next outing lines up at home early next week against the Orioles. |
|
Jul 14 2023 | Sanchez (0-3) took the loss Friday, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk over five innings against the Padres. He struck out five. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty came into this one riding high, having posted a 2.84 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 22:4 K:BB over his first five starts for the Phillies this season (25.1 innings). He was brought down a peg Friday, though it was still a respectable showing, with all the damage being done on a pair of long balls. There's streaming appeal here, but Sanchez will need to keep it up in order to maintain his starting job after the trade deadline. The Phillies are in the mix for a wild-card spot and could add a starting pitcher. |
|
Jul 6 2023 | Sanchez did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing one run on four hits over six innings against the Rays. He struck out two. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez's lone blemish came in the fifth inning, where he served up a leadoff home run to Isaac Paredes that tied the game. Outside of the long ball, Sanchez had little issues with the second best team in baseball, holding the Rays to just four total hits across six innings to log his second consecutive quality start. Since being called up for his second MLB stint of 2023 in mid-June, Sanchez owns a 2.14 ERA and a 17:2 K:BB across four starts (21 innings). He'll have nearly two weeks of rest before his next projected start, which is expected to come during a three-game homestand against Milwaukee. |
|
Jul 1 2023 | Sanchez (0-2) took the loss Friday, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk over six innings against the Nationals. He struck out six. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez finished with season highs in inning completed and strikeouts, but he still took a second consecutive loss after not getting enough run support. The 26-year-old hasn't been flashy, but he's getting results, posting a 3.26 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB across 19.1 innings. Sanchez figures to remain in the rotation going forward if he can continue to put up solid numbers. |
|
Jun 25 2023 | Sanchez (0-1) took the loss Saturday, giving up three runs on five hits over five innings as the Phillies fell 4-2 to the Mets. He struck out four without walking a batter. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Making his third big-league start of the season, Sanchez completed five innings for the first time while tossing 52 of his 75 pitches for strikes in a solid effort. The southpaw has a 3.00 ERA and 9:1 K:BB in nine innings since rejoining the Phillies' roster last weekend, putting him on track to make his next start at home next weekend against the Nationals. |
|
Jun 20 2023 | Sanchez (hand) is set to take his next scheduled turn in the Phillies rotation Friday against the Mets, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez took a comebacker off his left hand Saturday in Oakland, but X-rays turned up clean for any structural damage and he'll be ready to toe the slab in Friday's series opener. The 26-year-old southpaw has pitched to a 3.24 ERA with 10 strikeouts through two major-league starts (8.1 innings) this season for Philly. |
|
Jun 18 2023 | Sanchez is dealing with some soreness in his left hand but is expected to make his next turn through the rotation Friday versus the Mets, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old exited Saturday's outing in Oakland after being struck by a comebacker, but he appears to have avoided a notable injury with X-rays coming back negative. The Phillies have a scheduled day off Monday, so Sanchez could also be pushed back in the rotation a couple days without the team needing to add another starter. |
|
Jun 17 2023 | X-rays returned negative on Sanchez's left hand after leaving Saturday's start against Oakland, and he's expected to make his next start, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez was hit in the hand/wrist area by a comebacker against the Athletics, and while he initially stayed in the contest, the left-hander exited after completing four scoreless innings. Sanchez should still be considered day-to-day, but it does sound like he'll be on the mound in next week; likely against the Mets on Friday. |
|
Jun 16 2023 | Sanchez will start Saturday's game versus the Athletics, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was tipped off by Sanchez not being listed by Triple-A Lehigh Valley as a member of their rotation, and it's confirmed now that the southpaw will get the start versus Oakland over the weekend. The left-hander has registered a uninspiring 4.35 ERA, 44:29 K:BB and 1.45 WHIP over 49.2 innings in the minors, but he does get a friendly landing spot against the Oakland lineup. |
|
Jun 15 2023 | Sanchez could be called up to start for the Phillies on Saturday at Oakland, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez is no longer listed in the rotation at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, so he's probably getting promoted in some capacity. The 26-year-old left-hander missed the first three weeks of the 2023 season due to a triceps strain and has since registered a 4.35 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 44:29 K:BB across 49.2 innings in the International League. |
|
Apr 5 2023 | Sanchez (triceps) is expected to throw a three-inning simulated game Thursday at extended spring training, MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The three-inning outing represents a slight increase in Sanchez's workload after he tossed a two-inning sim game last Saturday. If all goes well Thursday, Sanchez could head out to a minor-league affiliate for what would likely be a multi-start rehab assignment before he's activated from the Phillies' 15-day injured list. |
|
Apr 1 2023 | Sanchez (triceps) threw a pair of simulated innings Saturday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez was shut down in mid-March with left triceps soreness. Injuries to Ranger Suarez (forearm) and Andrew Painter (elbow) as well as Sanchez have allowed Matt Strahm to open the season in the rotation. Sanchez could take that spot if he's the first injured pitcher to return but is unlikely to be anything more than the seventh starter when everyone is healthy. |
|
Mar 30 2023 | Sanchez (triceps) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez was shut down in mid-April because of left triceps soreness, and there is currently no timeline for his 2023 debut. |
|
Mar 15 2023 | Sanchez was recently shut down with left triceps soreness, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Phillies have dealt with injury trouble from several of their arms this spring, and Sanchez's triceps injury is the latest that will test the team's pitching depth. The team hasn't provided an official timeline for how long the left-hander will be shut down from throwing, but the timing of his injury this late in spring training could hurt his chances of making the Opening Day roster. |
|
Oct 1 2022 | Sanchez was returned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez served as the 29th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Nationals. He pitched the final three innings of the second game to earn an unconventional save, though he also allowed two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out one. Across 40 innings in the majors this season, Sanchez has a 5.63 ERA with a 35:17 K:BB. |
|
Sep 30 2022 | Sanchez was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to serve as the 29th man for Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez has made his last three major-league appearances out of the bullpen, allowing 10 runs on 12 hits and seven walks while striking out nine in 7.1 innings over that stretch. The southpaw should be available as a multi-inning option out of the Phillies' bullpen during Friday's twin bill. |
|
Sep 11 2022 | Sanchez was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez pitched out of the bullpen over his last three appearances, and he gave up four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out two in three innings during Sunday's win over the Nationals. The southpaw will head back to the minors since Zach Eflin (kneecap) is expected to return to action Tuesday. |
|
Aug 25 2022 | Sanchez (2-1) earned the win Wednesday, allowing three runs on six hits over six innings against the Reds. He struck out seven. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez allowed solo home runs to outfielder Stuart Fairchild to open the scoring in the second and shortstop Kyle Farmer in the fourth. This was the lefty's eleventh outing in the major leagues this season but only his third start. The 25-year-old has surrendered three runs or fewer in all three starts and pitched five innings or more in two of them. In addition, he enjoys a 2.60 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 17.1 innings over his last six outings. |
|
Aug 24 2022 | Sanchez was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley ahead of Wednesday's start against the Reds. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez has been in the minors since mid-July but will make a spot start Wednesday to give the rest of the Phillies' rotation an extra day of rest. Over 10 appearances (two starts) in the majors this year, he's posted a 3.80 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 23.2 innings. |
|
Aug 22 2022 | Sanchez will be recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Wednesday's game against the Reds, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Phillies will elect to give the starting rotation an extra day of rest with the home stretch of the regular season in sight, as Sanchez's spot start will push each member of the rotation back by a day. The southpaw's last outing dates back to July 10 against the Cardinals, when he surrendered two runs on two hits and one walk while fanning one over three innings. |
|
Jul 15 2022 | Sanchez was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez will return to Triple-A after he tossed eight innings, surrendering two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three over two outings following his promotion July. The left-hander will remain a top candidate to get called up in the coming months. |
|
Jul 9 2022 | Sanchez will pitch behind opener Nick Nelson during Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez made his second start of the season Tuesday against the Nationals and struck out two in five scoreless innings. The southpaw will work as a bulk reliever Sunday but will attempt to maintain his momentum from Tuesday's start. |
|
Jul 7 2022 | Sanchez is scheduled to pitch as either a starter or bulk reliever in Sunday's game in St. Louis, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll be awarded a second straight turn through the rotation after he acquitted himself well Tuesday in a home matchup with the Nationals. Sanchez struck out only two of the 18 batters he faced, but he rolled to an easy victory while blanking the Nationals over five innings and allowing two hits and two walks in the Phillies' 11-0 win. |
|
Jul 6 2022 | Sanchez (1-1) picked up the win Tuesday in an 11-0 rout of the Nationals, giving up two hits and two walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out two. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old lefty wasn't dominant and got the hook after only 60 pitches (35 strikes) in his first big-league start since May 8, but Sanchez lasted long enough to get credit for a win as he took advantage of the massive run support the Phillies offense supplied. He will likely only stick in the rotation until Ranger Suarez (back) or Zach Eflin (knee) are ready to return, but Sanchez's 3.48 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB through 20.2 innings in the majors this season are at least encouraging numbers. |
|
Jul 5 2022 | The Phillies recalled Sanchez from Triple-A Lehigh Valley ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against the Nationals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez will be making his second start and ninth appearance of the season with the big club. Over his previous eight outings spanning 15.2 innings, Sanchez turned in a 4.60 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB. |
|
Jul 3 2022 | Sanchez will start Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old was sent down in mid-June but will rejoin the Phillies as a starter after Ranger Suarez (back) was placed on the 15-day injured list. Sanchez has posted a 2.25 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 20 innings over seven appearances (six starts) at Triple-A Lehigh Valley and should have a chance to make at least one additional turn through the rotation if he performs well Tuesday. |
|
Jun 12 2022 | Sanchez was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez has spent three separate stints on the big-league roster this season, posting an unimpressive 4.60 ERA in 15.2 innings. Jose Alvarado was recalled to take his spot in the bullpen. |
|
Jun 1 2022 | Sanchez was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez made five appearances (one start) for the Phillies earlier in the year, and he posted a 5.84 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 12.1 innings. Although he worked mainly as a starter in the minors, he'll likely serve as a multi-inning reliever to begin his current stint with the Phillies. |
|
May 10 2022 | Sanchez was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez was called up to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets. He started the nightcap but was only asked to throw 2.1 innings, giving up two runs. The outing raised his season ERA to 5.84. He'll remain one of the Phillies' top options whenever they need an extra starter. |
|
May 8 2022 | Sanchez (0-1) took the loss and allowed two runs on two hits and a walk, striking out two in 2.1 innings in a 6-1 loss Sunday against the Mets. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez limited the damage to a two-out, two-run home run to Pete Alonso in the first inning. Zach Eflin was added to the COVID-19 injured list Sunday, resulting in Sanchez being recalled to spot start. While the lefty was optioned to Lehigh Valley six days ago, he did not make an appearance at Triple-A. It's no surprise that he turned in a short start Sunday, as he had been used in a long-relief role with the Phillies over the first month and hadn't been stretched out. |
|
May 1 2022 | Sanchez was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez gave up at least one run in each of his four relief appearances early in the year, and he'll head to the minors since the Phillies need to trim their active roster to 26 players by Monday. The southpaw posted a 5.40 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 10 innings with the Phillies to begin the year. |
|
Sep 23 2021 | Sanchez was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez was sent to Lehigh Valley at the end of July, and he posted a 4.93 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 34.2 innings across eight minor-league appearances since then. He'll serve as a low-leverage reliever for the Phillies after right-hander Matt Moore (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list, and he'll be available during Sunday's bullpen game, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. |
|
Jul 30 2021 | Sanchez didn't factor into the decision in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Nationals after allowing four runs on three hits and a walk across one-third of an inning. He struck out one. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez was recalled to make the first start of his big-league career, but he struggled mightily and couldn't even escape the first inning. The southpaw has made five appearances for the Phillies on the season and the results haven't been encouraging, as he's posted an 8.22 ERA and 2.35 WHIP through 7.2 innings. He's expected to be returned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. |

Jul 29 2021 | Sanchez was recalled to start the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The start will be the first of Sanchez's big-league career. He owns a 3.68 ERA and an 8:4 K:BB in 7.1 innings of relief at the highest level this season. The Phillies didn't play Wednesday and got a complete game from Zack Wheeler in the first game of the day, however, so their bullpen should be well-rested, meaning Sanchez may not be asked to pitch deep into the contest. |
|
Jul 25 2021 | The Phillies optioned Sanchez to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez will cede his spot on the active roster and in the bullpen to Chase Anderson, who was reinstated from the COVID-19-related injured list in a corresponding move. Since he worked two innings in relief in Saturday's blowout loss to Atlanta, Sanchez was unlikely to be available out of the Philadelphia bullpen for the next two days. |
|
Jul 11 2021 | Sanchez (1-0) earned the win in relief Sunday against the Red Sox after allowing one run on four hits and a walk across three innings, fanning two. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez worked behind opener Brandon Kintzler, who only tossed one inning, and he limited the damage just enough to come away with his first win of the campaign. This was just Sanchez's second appearance of the season and he's not expected to play a big role out of the bullpen moving forward. |
|
Jun 8 2021 | Sanchez was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez was recalled prior to Sunday's game against the Nationals and wound up making his major-league debut during the contest. He tossed 1.1 innings of scoreless ball, striking out two along the way. Despite the successful first big-league outing, he'll head back to Triple-A Lehigh Valley for the time being. |
|
Jun 6 2021 | The Phillies recalled Sanchez from Triple-A Lehigh Valley ahead of Sunday's 12-6 loss to the Nationals. He made his MLB debut out of the bullpen, covering 1.1 scoreless innings while giving up a hit and striking out two. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Philadelphia placed long reliever Chase Anderson on the COVID-19-related injured list in a corresponding move. Sanchez entered the contest while the Phillies were already trailing by six runs, so he's seemingly being viewed as a low-leverage reliever or mop-up man while he's up with the big club. |
|
May 4 2021 | Sanchez was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez has been called up twice by the Phillies this season but has still yet to make his major-league debut. Both of his stints on the roster lasted just one day. Enyel De Los Santos's contract was recalled in a corresponding move. |
|
May 3 2021 | Sanchez was recalled by the Phillies on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez was called up for the first time in mid-April but did not yet the chance to make his MLB debut. He'll give the team an extra lefty in the bullpen during his time on the roster. Scott Kingery was optioned in a corresponding move. |
|
Apr 20 2021 | The Phillies optioned Sanchez to their alternate training site Tuesday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez will leave Philadelphia without having made an appearance after he went unused out of the bullpen in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Giants following his callup earlier that day. Left-hander Bailey Falter will take Sanchez's spot in the bullpen and on the 26-man active roster. |
|
Apr 19 2021 | Sanchez was recalled by the Phillies on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Sanchez earns his first career call-up as the Phillies seek to replace a trio of players who landed on the COVID-19 injured list. He's made just a single appearance at the Triple-A level. He has a starter's build (6-foot-5) and four-pitch repertoire, but none of his secondary pitches are particularly promising and his command has been unreliable, so he'll likely wind up in the bullpen long-term if he's able to carve out a big-league role. |
|
Mar 16 2021 | The Phillies optioned Sanchez to their minor-league camp Tuesday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old lefty has made only one career appearance above the High-A level, so he wasn't a legitimate candidate to claim a spot on the Phillies' Opening Day roster. Sanchez is expected to begin the season as a member of the rotation at Triple-A Lehigh Valley or Double-A Reading. |
