Blue Jays outfielder Jesus Sanchez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run as part of an 8-6 loss to the Guardians on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
After the Guardians scored five runs off of veteran starter Max Scherzer in the top of the first, Sanchez's solo home run in the bottom half of the frame cut the deficit to 5-2. He went hitless in his other two plate appearances in the contest before being lifted for the right-handed-hitting Myles Straw. The 28-year-old is off to a nice start with his new team, slashing .270/.325/.432 with three home runs, 12 RBI, and a .757 OPS through 24 games on the campaign.
Blue Jays outfielder Jesus Sanchez hit his first home run with his new team Sunday against the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
Sanchez connected on a 3-0 fastball for a two-run home run to dead center field in the third inning on Sunday, one of three Blue Jays homers on the afternoon. The former Marlin brings plenty of left-handed thump to his new team, although fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on his playing time before making a commitment to the 28-year-old.
Jesus Sanchez has been traded to the Blue Jays in exchange for Joey Loperfido.
Fantasy Impact
Sanchez has now been traded twice in the last several months, as he was shipped from Miami to Houston at last summer's trade deadline. Over 134 games between the Marlins and Astros last season, Sanchez posted a .699 OPS with 14 homers and 13 steals.
Jesus Sanchez and the Houston Astros have avoided arbitration. Sanchez will make $6.8 million in 2026.
Fantasy Impact
Sanchez was traded to Houston from Miami prior to last year's trade deadline and he struggled in 48 games with the Astros. He slashed just .199/.269/.342 in 160 plate appearances with Houston. He is a career .239 hitter with 73 home runs in parts of six big league seasons. Sanchez is penciled in to be Houston's everyday right fielder in 2026.
Jesus Sanchez went 1-for-4 in the win over the Angels, contributing a home run and driving in two runs along with a run scored.
Fantasy Impact
The 27-year-old has struggled at the plate of late, hitting just .100 with one home run and five RBI over his last 15 games. After yesterday’s game, Sanchez holds a .235 batting average with 14 home runs and 48 RBI across 133 games this season.
