The Blue Jays released Sanchez on Tuesday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. Sanchez signed a minor-league deal with Toronto in May, but he'll now return to the open market after posting a 7.92 ERA and 1.69 WHIP through 61.1 innings (14 starts) at Triple-A Buffalo. The 32-year-old righty hasn't pitched in the majors since 2022, and his recent performance in the minors suggests that he isn't close to a return.

The Blue Jays signed Sanchez to a minor-league contract on Monday, Jamie Campbell of Sportsnet reports. Sanchez started his career with the Blue Jays and made his major-league debut in 2014. His best season was in 2016, when he held a 15-2 record over 30 starts with a 3.00 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 161:63 K:BB over 192 innings. Sanchez split time between the Twins and Diamondbacks last season, though he remained in Triple-A for both teams. The 31-year-old right-hander will look to work his way up through the Blue Jays' system to make his first major-league appearance since 2022.

The 31-year-old last appeared in the majors in 2022, when he posted a 6.60 ERA and 41:15 K:BB across 60 innings between the Nationals and Twins.

The 31-year-old righty has regressed significantly from his impressive 2021 campaign and will serve as organizational depth in Triple-A Reno.
