Vazquez went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Wednesday's 9-8 win over the Braves.

Vazquez made his third start in five games since being activated from the 10-day disabled list.

Sandy Leon and Blake Swihart are still around to grab starts when Vazquez gets a day off.

Sanchez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's loss to the Athletics.

The catcher is just 3-for-18 (.167) since returning from the disabled list at the start of the month, and is slashing just .186/.283/.411 to go along with his 15 homers and 45 RBI.
