Sanchez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in a 3-1 victory versus Oakland on Monday. Sanchez was the only Minnesota player with multiple hits in the contest, and his sixth-inning 433-foot homer provided the final run in his team's win. The veteran has largely alternated time behind the plate and at DH so far his season, which has kept his bat in the lineup on a near-everyday basis. Sanchez is slashing a modest .217/.294/.424 on the campaign, but he has picked things up of late, going 5-for-15 with three doubles, two homers and four RBI over his past four games.

Sanchez isn't starting Thursday's regularly scheduled game against the Astros. Sanchez went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout during Wednesday's suspended game, and he was replaced behind the dish late in the blowout loss. He'll get a breather in the regularly scheduled matchup while Ryan Jeffers starts behind the plate and bats seventh.

Sanchez was added to the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. The 29-year-old was initially slated to get a day off Saturday, but he'll serve as the designated hitter and bat fourth after Trevor Larnach (undisclosed) was scratched. Sanchez has hit .231 with three doubles, two runs and an RBI over his last seven games.

Sanchez isn't starting Saturday's game against Oakland. Sanchez started in the last four games and went 4-for-13 with two doubles, a run, a walk and three strikeouts. Ryan Jeffers will take over behind the dish and bat seventh.

Sanchez is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Baltimore. Trevor Larnach will handle designated-hitter duties while Ryan Jeffers picks up a start behind the plate, closing off both of Sanchez's avenues to the lineup. The Twins are likely just extending Sanchez a breather after he recently returned from an abdominal injury to start in each of the past three games. He went 2-for-13 with a double, an RBI, a run and six strikeouts over the weekend.
