2024 Fantasy Outlook
Sanchez saw game action with Double-A Pensacola in September for his first appearance at any level in nearly three years, but that ended up being his lone outing of the year. Injuries have long been a part of the right-hander's profile but have been insurmountable over the past few years, though he's still just 25 years old and remains a strong prospect. Sanchez had a 3.46 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 33:11 K:BB over 39 frames as a rookie in 2020, but that's the last time he was truly healthy. There's been no indication he's dealing with any issues this offseason, but his 2024 is still filled with question marks. Sanchez's significant layoff should cap his potential for this season since his workload is likely to be closely monitored, even if he's able to be available all year. Read Past Outlooks
Cracks Opening Day roster
Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said Friday that Sanchez has made the Opening Day roster, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Sanchez is out of options but nonetheless came into camp seeming like a long shot for the Opening Day roster given that he's barely pitched the last three years because of shoulder woes. However, he looked surprisingly good in five Grapefruit League appearances, yielding just one hit and three walks while striking out four over seven scoreless innings. The Marlins are dealing with multiple injuries in their rotation, but the plan is for Sanchez to be a reliever moving forward.

ANALYSIS
While Sanchez is not expected to pitch for the Marlins this year, he is progressing with his throwing program as he recovers from shoulder surgery. The righty has not appeared in a game at any level since making seven starts for Miami in 2020. It's possible he could make some appearances in the minors before the season ends but a return to the Marlins will likely not come until 2023.

2017
Sanchez's last professional pitch was thrown Oct. 8, 2020. When he'll throw his next one is anyone's guess. Injury concerns have long been part of Sanchez's profile, but the extent to which he's been slammed by ailments over the last two seasons is rare. Shoulder issues began prior to the 2021 season and eventually led to surgery in July of that year. Initial reports once he arrived at camp last year held that he could return around midseason, but while he was able to begin throwing bullpen sessions in late July, he was shut down again in mid-August due to renewed discomfort. A cortisone shot didn't do the trick, and he eventually underwent another surgery in early October. In theory, he'll be ready to go by spring training, but expecting things to suddenly go as planned following years of setbacks seems like wishful thinking. That makes him harder to like as a lottery ticket despite his youth and talent.
