Fantasy Impact:
Sanchez has missed 15 games after being placed on the IL on July 24th. After a hot start to the season, Sanchez’s production had tailed off of late. He’ll bring a .229/.299/.508 slash line into Saturday’s game, albeit with 24 home runs and 58 RBI. Kyle Higashioka is expected to me the odd man out, despite performing admirably in six games since being called up. During this stretch, Higashioka hit .292 (7-for-24) with three home runs and eight RBI.
