Interim manager Tony Mansolino said Tuesday that Sanchez (knee) will not return this season, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
Sanchez hasn't played since July 5 but did begin a rehab assignment earlier this month. However, with Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo healthy, it doesn't make much sense to rush Sanchez back in a lost season. Sanchez will wrap up the 2025 campaign with a .231/.297/.418 slash line, five home runs, 24 RBI, 13 runs scored and a 4:27 BB:K across 101 plate appearances. Sanchez turns 33 years old in December and will be a free agent this winter.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Starting rehab assignment next week
Rotowire
Sanchez (knee) is with the team in Baltimore on Friday and will head out on a rehab assignment in five days, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Sanchez has been sidelined since early July due to a sprained right knee, but he's getting close to heading out on a rehab assignment. His current timeline would put him on track to return before the end of the regular season, but he may not have much playing time to come back to if Adley Rutschman (oblique) and Samuel Basallo are healthy.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Moves to 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Orioles transferred Sanchez (knee) to the 60-day injured list Friday.
The veteran catcher was ruled out 8-to-10 weeks after being diagnosed with a right knee sprain in early July, so it's not a surprise he eventually made his way to the 60-day IL. Sanchez will be eligible to be reinstated in early September, though it's unclear if he's expected to be available at that point.
Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Expected to miss 8-to-10 weeks
Rotowire
Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Monday that Sanchez (knee) is likely to be sidelined 8-to-10 weeks, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Sanchez was diagnosed with a moderate PCL sprain in his right knee over the weekend and will be shelved for at least a couple months. The Orioles are also without Adley Rutschman (oblique), Maverick Handley (concussion) and Chadwick Tromp (back), leaving them with Jacob Stallings and Alex Jackson at catcher.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Becomes fourth O's catcher on IL
Rotowire
The Orioles placed Sanchez on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a sprained right knee.
Sanchez was removed from Saturday's game with right knee pain and was sent for an MRI, which revealed a sprain. The severity of the injury isn't yet known but Sanchez will be out through at least the All-Star break, becoming the fourth Orioles catcher to hit the injured list along with Adley Rutschman (oblique), Maverick Handley (concussion) and Chadwick Tromp (back). In desperate need of depth behind the plate, the Orioles acquired Alex Jackson from the Yankees on Sunday and added him to the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster. Jacob Stallings and Jackson will serve as the Orioles' catching tandem until the team gets at least one of the injured backstops back from the IL.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Out with moderate knee sprain
Rotowire
Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Sunday that Sanchez has been diagnosed with a moderate PCL sprain in his right knee, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Mansolino didn't offer up a timeline for Sanchez's return from the 10-day injured list, but given that his knee sprain isn't viewed as mild, the 33-year-old backstop seems unlikely to be ready to play when he's first eligible for activation at the start of the second half. Sanchez became the fourth Orioles catcher to hit the IL, joining Adley Rutschman (oblique), Maverick Handley (concussion) and Chadwick Tromp (back). None of the injured backstops have resumed baseball activities, so Jacob Stallings and the newly acquired Alex Jackson appear poised to serve as Baltimore's catching tandem though at least the All-Star break.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Removed with knee pain
Rotowire
Sanchez was pulled from Saturday's game against Atlanta due to right knee pain, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
It's unclear how Sanchez injured his knee, but he made an early exit in the fifth inning and is scheduled to undergo an MRI. With Adley Rutschman (oblique), Maverick Handley (concussion) and Chadwick Tromp (back) all on the injured list, Jacob Stallings would benefit from additional playing time if Sanchez has to miss a few starts.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Back in lineup at designated hitter
Rotowire
Sanchez (finger) will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in Wednesday's game versus the Rangers.
Sanchez exited Tuesday's 10-2 loss and underwent X-rays after a foul tip struck one of his fingers. The tests came back negative, and Sanchez is feeling well enough to handle a non-defensive role in Wednesday's series finale. Jacob Stallings will draw the start at catcher for Baltimore.

Orioles' Gary Sanchez: Getting X-rays on finger
Rotowire
Sanchez will receive X-rays on his finger after getting hit on his finger by a ball Tuesday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
A foul tip connected with Sanchez's finger in the eighth inning, which caused him to leave the game early for a pinch hitter in the ninth. Interim manager Tony Mansolino said after the game that there's minimal concern surrounding Sanchez's finger, so the X-rays are most likely a precautionary measure. If the 32-year-old backstop is unable to play Wednesday, Jacob Stallings would fill in behind the plate.
