Sanchez was claimed off waivers by the Mets on Thursday.

Sanchez lost out on playing time late in his stint with the Red Sox and was ultimately designated for assignment Tuesday. He hit just .108 with two RBI and a run over 14 games with Boston to begin the year but will join the Mets' major-league roster as a versatile defensive option while the team deals with various injuries, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. He'll likely fill a depth role and could lose his spot on the big-league roster once Eduardo Escobar (oblique) or Luis Guillorme (groin) are cleared to return.
