Player Stats

Blue Jays sent OF Jesús Sánchez (ankle) on a rehab assignment to the FCL Blue Jays.

Sánchez was placed on the IL on June 27 and figures to have at least a week or two of rehab games. He’ll likely be back near the start of August. The 28-year-old outfielder was hitting .274/.316/.437 in 234 plate appearances before suffering the ankle sprain that sent him to 10-day injured list.

George Springer

TOR Designated Hitter #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

George Springer (shoulder) was held out of the Blue Jays’ starting lineup for the second consecutive game on Sunday.

Springer was scratched from Saturday’s lineup due to tightness in his left shoulder and they’ll give him an extra day to rest on Sunday as well. The expectation is that he’ll once again be available off the bench if needed and he’s still considered day-to-day. Jesus Sanchez will serve as the team’s designated hitter while Myles Straw starts in left field and will bat ninth against Phillies’ left-hander Jesus Luzardo.

Jesús Sánchez hit a two-run homer and walked Wednesday against the Astros.

The homer was on a 3-0 pitch that was up and out of the strike zone, but it seems he knew what he was doing. Sánchez is batting .270/.313/.438 with eight homers through 246 plate appearances. He’s going to need to stay healthy and put together a nice finish here to avoid being non-tendered this winter.

TOR Right Fielder #12

Jesús Sánchez is not in the Blue Jays’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Cardinals.

Sánchez returned from the injured list on Friday and has now sat in two consecutive games with opposing left-handers on the hill. It looks like he’ll be used exclusively in that strong-side platoon role with Myles Straw continuing to take his place against southpaws.

Blue Jays activated Jesús Sánchez off the 10-day injured list.

Sánchez wound up missing a month and a few days with an ankle sprain suffered on June 27. He’ll likely return to platoon COF duties in the place of the optioned Yohendrick Piñango.

Jesús Sánchez (ankle) has started running the bases and could go on a rehab assignment this week.

Sánchez has been out with a right ankle sprain since the end of June. He was hitting .274/.316/.437 with seven homers and 29 RBI through 234 plate appearances over 73 games for the Blue Jays and would be welcomed back in their lineup. However, he could also make for an attractive trade chip considering he has one year of team control left through arbitration and will make over $7 million next season.

TOR Right Fielder #12

Blue Jays placed OF Jesús Sánchez on the 10-day injured list with a right ankle sprain.

Sánchez underwent a precautionary MRI to rule out any structural issues after initial X-rays came back negative for any fractures. There should be some clarity on his status later this weekend, but fantasy managers should anticipate a multi-week absence. The 28-year-old corner outfielder suffered the injury during Friday’s contest against the Rangers. He’s put together a decent Toronto debut, hitting .274/.316/.437 with seven homers and 29 RBI through 234 plate appearances over 73 games.

TOR Right Fielder #12

Blue Jays’ outfielder Jesús Sañchez sustained a right ankle sprain during Friday night’s battle against the Rangers.

Blue Jays’ skipper John Schneider told reporters after the game that X-rays returned negative for any fractures. It’s still unclear what grade ankle sprain Sañchez is dealing with, or how long he may be shelved for, so we’ll have to wait and see how he feels on Saturday.

TOR Right Fielder #12

Jesús Sañchez is absent from the Blue Jays’ starting lineup for Saturday afternoon’s tilt against the Cubs in Chicago.

It doesn’t sound like there’s any physical issue going on with Sañchez, so it looks to be just a routine day off. Myles Straw will start in his place in left field and will bat ninth against Cubs’ right-hander Colin Rea.
Jesús Sánchez

TOR Right Fielder #12

Jesús Sañchez went 3-for-4 and hit his seventh homer Tuesday as the Blue Jays topped the Philles 3-2.

Sañchez homered off Zach Wheeler to make it a 1-1 game in the sixth and then singled to open a two-run rally in the ninth. He’s batting .296/.328/.476, giving him the highest OPS among Jays regulars this season. Things might get crowded again in Toronto’s outfield after Addison Barger returns. but there’s little doubt now that Sañchez should keep starting in left or right against righties over the rest of the season.

Jesús Sánchez (wrist) is back in the lineup for Wednesday’s contest against the Braves.

Sánchez is at DH and hitting cleanup following a brief one-game absence after being hit on the wrist by a ball that was thrown from the stands during Sunday’s game against Baltimore. He appears to have avoided serious injury and isn’t expected to miss any additional time. It’ll be George Springer getting a maintenance day with rookie Yohendrick Piñango picking up another start in right field on Wednesday evening at Truist Park.

Tigers promoted C/1B Josue Briceño to Triple-A Toledo.

Briceño is the 54th-ranked prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline. He hit .297/.382/.672 in 17 games at Double-A after being activated from the 60-day IL in July following wrist surgery. Briceño also tallied eight home runs, 19 RBI, and a 16/9 K/BB ratio. He’ll likely need to play first base long-term in Detroit with Dillon Dingler entrenched as the team’s franchise catcher.

Brewers promoted 1B prospect Blake Burke to Triple-A Nashville.

Burke slashed .285/.367/.603 in 96 games with Double-A Biloxi. He posted 30 home runs, 88 RBI, and 28 steals but also had a 102/44 K/BB ratio. The Brewers’ offense rarely has a hitter with this type of power and swing-and-miss, so it will be interesting to see how Burke fits as he rises up the affiliates.

Mets INF prospect Billy Amick went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run for Double-A Binghamton on Sunday.

Amick came to the Mets in a deadline deal for A.J. Minter and has been on fire since. In his seven games in the Mets organization, he’s hitting .333/.429/.958 with five home runs, 13 RBI, and one steal. He does have 11 strikeouts in those seven games, so swing-and-miss will always be part of his game, but he has 28 home runs in 93 total games at Triple-A this season, so the power is very real.

Christian Moore went 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base, and an RBI for Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Moore is hitting .307/.434/.517 in 78 games at Triple-A with 10 home runs, 56 RBI, and 13 steals with an 84/65 K/BB ratio. With the Angels out of playoff contention, it would make sense for them to call Moore up again and give him an actual chance at playing time.

Zac Veen went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs for Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Veen is now hitting .455/.514/1.121 in eight games in August with five home runs, 12 RBI, 13 runs, and two steals. Unfortunately, with Mickey Moniak, Cole Carrigg, and Jake McCarthy in Colorado, there is no room for Veen.

Nationals SS prospect Seaver King went 3-for-5 with a home run and two runs scored for Triple-A Rochester on Sunday.

King is hitting .284/.361/.469 in 41 games at Triple-A with seven home runs, 29 RBI, and four steals. With CJ Abrams continuing to struggle defensively at shortstop, it’s fair to wonder if the Nationals would consider a position change in the offseason to ensure a place for King in the 2027 lineup.

Oneil Cruz (hand) went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts for Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

Cruz played seven innings in center field on Sunday and will now be evaluated by the Pirates. His results haven’t been great in Triple-A, but if the organization deems that he’s healthy enough to return, we could see Cruz back in the lineup this week.

Since the start of July, Campbell is now 29-for-84 (.345) with three home runs, 16 RBI, 20 runs, three steals, and a 24/17 K/BB ratio. Still just 24 years old, Campbell could very well emerge as an impactful regular with the Red Sox if his recent swing changes continue to produce results like this.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Carlos Rodón will have “at least one more Minor League rehab start before being activated.”

Rodón allowed three runs in 2 2/3 innings in his first rehab start with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. His velocity was down across the board in this one, so he will need to make some progress if he wants his next rehab start to be his last one.
