Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Lands on injured list
The Blue Jays placed Sanchez on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right ankle sprain.
Sanchez suffered the injury during Friday's game against Texas and had to make an early departure from the contest in the seventh inning. X-rays came back negative after the game, but he won't be able to avoid spending time on the injured list. He'll be eligible to return July 7; meanwhile, Yohendrick Pinango will return from Triple-A to fill the opening on the 26-man roster.

Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Battling sprained ankle
Sanchez was removed from Friday's game against the Rangers with a sprained right ankle, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Sanchez went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before being lifted in the seventh inning. X-rays on his ankle came back negative after the game, so he doesn't appear to be dealing with a severe injury. That said, the Jays may still give the 28-year-old a day or two off so he can recover.

Sanchez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Cracks solo homer Tuesday
Sanchez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double during Tuesday's 3-2 win over Philadelphia.
The Blue Jays were kept off the board through the first five innings, but Sanchez changed that with a solo blast off Zack Wheeler in the sixth to tie the game at 1-1. Sanchez tied a season high with three knocks, and Tuesday marked his 12th multi-hit game of the season. Three of those multi-hit games have come over his last five outings, a span in which he has gone 8-for-17 with three extra-base hits and three runs scored.

Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Sitting against lefty
Sanchez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
The Blue Jays will spare the left-handed-hitting Sanchez from a matchup with a tough lefty in Cristopher Sanchez and give him a breather in the series opener. With Sanchez on the bench, Toronto will go with Nathan Lukes and Yohendrick Pinango as its starters in the corner outfield.

Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Good to go Wednesday
Sanchez (wrist) is batting cleanup as the designated hitter Wednesday against Atlanta.
After sitting out Tuesday's series opener due a bruised wrist caused by a stray ball thrown from the stands Sunday, Sanchez will rejoin the lineup Wednesday in a non-defensive capacity. The veteran outfielder has been a key lineup piece for Toronto so far in 2026 with six home runs, 28 RBI, 19 runs and a .286/.322/.458 slash line in 58 games.

Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Absent from Tuesday's lineup
Sanchez (wrist) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.
Sanchez is dealing with a wrist contusion that he suffered when he was hit by a ball thrown from the stands during Sunday's loss to the Orioles. The 28-year-old underwent X-rays that came back negative, but he'll still be held out of the starting nine for at least one game.

Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Struck by stray ball
Sanchez was removed from Sunday's game against the Orioles after being struck in the wrist by a ball that appeared to be thrown by a fan in the stands, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Sanchez appeared to be talking with someone in the right field seats during a sixth-inning mound visit and was subsequently struck by a ball in the area of his wrist, forcing him to leave the game. The specifics of the injury aren't yet clear. Sanchez was replaced in right field by Yohendrick Pinango.

Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Tending to bruised wrist
The Blue Jays announced that Sanchez was removed in the bottom of the sixth inning of Sunday's 9-5 loss to the Orioles due to a right wrist contusion.
Sanchez went 1-for-2 with a base hit before leaving the game midway through the bottom of the sixth, when he appeared to be hit by a ball thrown into the field of play by a fan. Fortunately for Sanchez, precautionary X-rays came back negative, and he'll get an extra day to rest up and recover before the Blue Jays return to action Tuesday in Atlanta. Yohendrick Pinango replaced Sanchez in right field during Sunday's contest and would likely be the top choice to start Tuesday if Sanchez isn't ready to play.

Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Belts grand slam off Alcantara
Sanchez went 2-for-4 with a double and a grand slam during the Blue Jays' 8-1 win over the Marlins on Tuesday.
Sanchez smacked his 10th double of the season in the third inning, but he made his biggest play of the night in the sixth, when he smacked a grand slam off Sandy Alcantara to cap off the Blue Jays' six-run frame. Sanchez was moved up to the third spot in the lineup Tuesday, and his recent play at the plate could have him stay there, even when Vladimir Guerrero (elbow) returns to action. Over his last 16 games, Sanchez has a 1.131 OPS with eight extra-base hits (including two homers) and 12 RBI in 49 plate appearances.

Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Back in lineup Friday
Sanchez (chest) is back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates.
Sanchez will play right field and bat seventh against right-hander Bubba Chandler. Sanchez was removed from Wednesday's contest against the Yankees and didn't start Thursday's series finale with left-hander Carlos Rodon on the mound. Sanchez has hit safely in nine of his last 11 games, raising his slash line to .277/.316/.426 with five home runs, 21 RBI, 16 runs scored, one stolen base and a 7:29 BB:K across 155 trips to the plate.

Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Removed due to injury
Sanchez was removed from Wednesday's game against the Yankees after getting the wind knocked out of him, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Sanchez landed hard on his chest when attempting a diving catch on a flyball in the seventh inning and was replaced in right field immediately afterward as a precaution. The Jays will evaluate him ahead of Thursday's series finale, though the team doesn't seem to be very worried about him missing an extended period of time. If the 28-year-old sits down Thursday, Myles Straw would likely draw the start against southpaw Carlos Rodon.

Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Not in Thursday's lineup
Sanchez (chest) is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.
Sanchez was lifted from Wednesday's contest after getting the wind knocked out of him. The left-handed hitter likely wasn't going to start Thursday, anyway, with the Yankees sending southpaw Carlos Rodon to the bump, but it's unclear whether he'll be available off the bench. Myles Straw will cover right field for Toronto in Sanchez's stead.

Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Idle against lefty
Sanchez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Taking seat against southpaw
Sanchez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
With southpaw Shane McClanahan on the bump for the Rays in the series finale, the Blue Jays will counter with a more right-handed-heavy lineup. Sanchez and fellow left-handed batters Andres Gimenez and Daulton Varsho will head to the bench, opening up spots for righties Lenyn Sosa, Myles Straw and Davis Schneider.

Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Three hits in Sunday's win
Sanchez went 3-for-5 in Sunday's win over the Twins.
All three hits were singles and none of them led directly to any run production, but it was still Sanchez's first multi-hit performance since April 14. The 28-year-old outfielder has delivered his usual numbers through his first 33 games as a Blue Jay, slashing .250/.289/.404 with four homers, a steal, 11 runs and 15 RBI, but there are signs he could find another level over the summer -- his 93.2 mph average exit velocity and 11.3 degree launch angle are both career bests, as is his 17.5 percent strikeout rate.

Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Homers, drives in three
Sanchez went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a sacrifice fly in Sunday's 4-2 victory over the Guardians.
After driving in a run with a sac fly in the first inning, Sanchez put the Jays ahead for good in the sixth inning with his two-run shot off Slade Cecconi, his fourth long ball this year. Sanchez has been swinging the bat well of late, logging at least one hit in four of his last five games -- he's gone 4-for-13 (.308) with a pair of homers in that span. The 28-year-old outfielder is batting .266 with a .771 OPS and 15 RBI through 26 games this season.
