Astros' Jesus Sanchez: Breaks lengthy slump with five hits
Rotowire
Sanchez went 5-for-5 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Orioles.
Sanchez had gone 0-for-27 with nine strikeouts over his previous 10 games. He broke out of the slump in a big way Thursday, though four of his hits were singles. Sanchez is still batting just .215 over 19 games with the Astros, though he has settled into a near-everyday role in the corner outfield, in turn keeping Jose Altuve at second base or designated hitter. Overall, Sanchez is slashing .249/.310/.400 with 10 home runs, 38 RBI, 47 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 105 games between Houston and Miami this season.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Provides only runs in victory
Rotowire
Sanchez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in a 2-0 win over St. Louis on Wednesday.
Sanchez mashed a 439-foot, two-run shot off Miles Mikolas in the third inning. That proved to be the difference maker, as neither team managed to score at any point during the rest of the game. Sanchez entered the All-Star break in a 23-game homerless drought, but he's now gone deep three times through his first 11 contests of the second half. He's up to 10 home runs on the year after swatting a career-high 18 across 149 regular-season contests last year.

Getting the start in right field and batting leadoff, Sanchez took Brad Lord deep in the seventh inning for his sixth homer of the season.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Sitting Friday
Rotowire
Sanchez is not in Friday's lineup against the Giants.
Sanchez had started the last two games the Marlins played against lefty starters, but he'll head to the bench in this one against southpaw Kyle Harrison. With Dane Myers activated and Heriberto Hernandez promoted, the Marlins have more options against southpaws, but Sanchez should still be loosely considered an everyday player.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Crosses plate three times Friday
Rotowire
Sanchez went 1-for-3 with two walks and three runs scored in Friday's win over the Rays.
Getting the start in right field and batting leadoff, Sanchez crossed the plate in the first, fourth and sixth innings in a comfortable 9-4 victory. It was the 27-year-old outfielder's first time this season at the very top of the order, as Xavier Edwards (back) got the night off Friday, but Sanchez has mainly been batting second against right-handed pitching and has produced a .364 OBP over his last 10 games. Those on-base skills have come with a surprising lack of power, however -- Sanchez doesn't have an extra-base hit in May, and after slugging a career-high 18 homers in 2024, he has only one long ball through 25 games in 2025.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Belts first homer of year
Rotowire
Sanchez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's win over the Mariners.
The Marlins' offense was completely shut down by Logan Gilbert (forearm) to begin the game, but once he left the mound after the third inning, the floodgates quickly opened. Sanchez's homer, his first of the year, came as part of a six-run fifth frame against Casey Lawrence. Sanchez is still struggling to find a rhythm at the plate after his delayed start to the season, and through nine games he's batting just .226 and only two extra-base over 31 at-bats.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Lands on 10-day IL
Rotowire
The Marlins placed Sanchez on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a left oblique strain.
Sanchez suffered the injury in mid-March. Per Christina De Nicola of MLB.com, Sanchez recently began a hitting progression, but it's not clear if he'll be ready to come off the IL when first eligible April 4. With Sanchez on the shelf, the Marlins will deploy Kyle Stowers and Griffin Conine as their starting corner outfielders in Thursday's season opener versus the Pirates.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Headed for injured list
Rotowire
Manager Clayton McCullough said Saturday that Sanchez (side) will begin the season on the injured list, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Sanchez was pulled from Thursday's Grapefruit League game due to an issue with his left side in what was initially labeled as a precautionary move. However, the outfielder's injury will ultimately cause him to miss the start of the regular season, and it's currently unclear if he'll be ready to return once eligible April 6. With Sanchez out, Griffin Conine will likely be the next man up to serve as the Marlins' Opening Day right fielder.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Clubs first spring homer
Rotowire
Sanchez went 1-for-2 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Monday's split-squad game against the Nationals.
The outfielder turned on a Mitchell Parker pitch in the fourth inning for his first long ball of the spring. Sanchez dealt with a sore elbow earlier in camp and has struggled to find his timing at the plate, going 3-for-22 (.136) in nine Grapefruit League appearances with a 2:7 BB:K. He's healthy now however, and he could even open the season as the starting center fielder given the Marlins' lack of appealing options at the position.
