Sanchez isn't in the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Astros.
The Yankees will save Sanchez for the nationally televised matchup with the Astros later in the evening, affording Austin Romine a start behind the plate in Game 1. Since being activated from the disabled list May 5, Sanchez has picked up where he left off last season, batting 8-for-26 with a homer and five RBI over seven games.
