Sanchez is not in the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports
The Mets have yet to announce the order of their starters for the double dip, but Sanchez's absence from the lineup suggests lefty Joey Lucchesi will start the first game and Kodai Senga will get the nightcap. Jorge Soler is playing right field in the first contest while Yuli Gurriel handles first base and Josh Bell is used at designated hitter.

Sanchez is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cincinnati.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Sitting again Monday
Rotowire
Sanchez is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds, according to Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald.
Sanchez rarely starts against southpaws, so it should come as little surprise that he is being held out Monday with left-hander Brandon Williamson on the bump for Cincinnati.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Idle versus lefty

Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.
Sanchez appears to have settled into the strong side of a platoon in the corner outfield, but he'll take a seat in Sunday's series finale while southpaw Andrew Heaney takes the hill for Texas. Avisail Garcia will replace Sanchez in the lineup and will bat sixth.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Sitting against southpaw
Rotowire
Sanchez is not in Friday's lineup against the Rangers.
He will open the game on the bench with lefty Jordan Montgomery on the hill for Texas. Sanchez has started only twice against a lefty all season, although both those starts came just prior to the trade deadline. He has started both his games against righties since the deadline, and the only righty the Marlins face this weekend is Jon Gray on Saturday.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Walks it off Wednesday
Rotowire
Sanchez went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Wednesday's 9-8 extra-innings win over the Phillies.
The Marlins had plenty of heroes on a wild night that saw them wait until the sixth inning to score their first runs and take their first and only lead in the 12th, but Sanchez got the walk-off honors by bringing home Jazz Chisholm with a single. Sanchez hadn't had a multi-hit performance since July 14, but since the All-Star break he's compiled a solid .295/.367/.432 slash line, albeit with just one homer, three runs and five RBI in 14 contests. With Chisholm and Avisail Garcia both healthy again, Miami's outfield has gotten crowded, so Sanchez will need to keep hitting if he wants to maintain even a semi-regular spot in the lineup.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Sitting again Tuesday
Rotowire
Sanchez remains out of the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Phillies.
Sanchez appeared off the bench for the Marlins in Monday's series opener against Philadelphia, but he hasn't started a game since last Friday. There may be some kind of physical issue at play, as he was productive for the most part in July while posting an .828 OPS with three homers and 10 RBI across 19 games.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Hits bench against righty
Rotowire
Sanchez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Sanchez will hit the bench for a third straight game, but unlike the previous two contests, the Marlins are facing a right-hander (Taijuan Walker) rather than a left-handed starter/primary pitcher. With Avisail Garcia returning from the injured list Sunday and Jazz Chisholm (oblique) getting activated Monday, the Miami outfield is more crowded these days, and it doesn't help Sanchez's cause that super-utility man Jon Berti has been picking up more work in left field of late. Sanchez has posted a modest .728 OPS since returning from an IL stint of his own in late May and could be relegated to more of a part-time role now that Miami has plenty of options in the outfield.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Sitting out Saturday
Rotowire
Sanchez isn't in the Marlins' lineup Saturday against the Tigers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Sanchez is just 3-for-14 with a run scored across his last five contests, so he'll get a breather Saturday to regroup. Bryan De La Cruz will slide over to right field while Sanchez sits, allowing Jon Berti to start in left and bat fifth.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Returns to action
Rotowire
Sanchez (neck) is starting in center field and hitting cleanup Friday against the Tigers.
He was removed from Wednesday's game with neck tightness but is back in action against righty Reese Olson. Sanchez made his first start against a lefty all season July 23, but with Tarik Skubal due up for Detroit on Sunday and Joey Wentz a rumored option for Saturday's start, it's possible Sanchez sits in one or both of the final two games of the weekend.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Dealing with neck issue
Rotowire
Sanchez was removed from Wednesday's win over the Rays due to neck tightness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
It looked like it might be a leg-related injury when Sanchez pulled up while running out a grounder, but apparently it's his neck that's bothering him. It would seem to qualify as good news and likely is a day-to-day situation. Sanchez was retired in his lone plate appearance Wednesday before exiting.
