Marlins' Ali Sanchez: DFA'd by Miami
The Miami Marlins designated Ali Sanchez for assignment Tuesday.Miami selected the 27-year-old's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on June 21, and he primarily served as a backup catcher during his time with the big club. Jhonny Pereda is now poised to fill that role after Sanchez posted a .167/.211/.190 slash line in 31 games.

Marlins' Ali Sanchez: Taking seat Sunday
Ali Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.Sanchez had started in each of the Miami Marlins' previous three matchups with right-handed starters, but he'll cede catching duties to Nick Fortes in the series finale while the Giants send right-hander Logan Webb to the hill. Sanchez and Fortes will likely continue to operate in a timeshare down the stretch, and the Marlins' catching picture could become even murkier with Miami using one of its two September call-ups on a third backstop in Jhonny Pereda.

Marlins' Ali Sanchez: Swipes two bags Thursday
Ali Sanchez went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in Thursday's win over the Rockies.The catcher came into the game with zero pilfers in 36 career big-league games and has never swiped more than two bags in a minor-league season, but Sanchez came home on a double steal with Connor Norby in the fourth inning before nabbing second base himself in the sixth. Sanchez has moved into a timeshare with Nick Fortes of late, starting four of the last eight games including the last two against right-handed pitchers, but Thursday's performance in Coors Field was his first multi-hit effort since July 12.

Marlins' Ali Sanchez: Getting second straight start
Ali Sanchez will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Reds.Sanchez will pick up a second consecutive start and could see the majority of the work behind the plate for the foreseeable future after Nick Fortes (quadricep) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. The Miami Marlins recalled Jhonny Pereda from Triple-A Jacksonville to provide another option at catcher, but Pereda is a 28-year-old rookie who has just five MLB plate appearances to his name. Sanchez is slashing .180/.255/.180 over his 20 games with the Marlins this season and shouldn't be viewed as a viable fantasy option outside of NL-only leagues.

The Cubs traded Ali Sanchez to the Miami Marlins on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations.Sanchez has spent the entire season with Triple-A Iowa, slashing .240/.338/.388 with 21 RBI across 148 plate appearances. Given the awful seasons Nick Fortes and Christian Bethancourt have both had in the majors, it's possible Sanchez gets his first look in the big leagues since 2021 if he continues at his current pace.
