Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Headed for injured list
Manager Clayton McCullough said Saturday that Sanchez (side) will begin the season on the injured list, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Sanchez was pulled from Thursday's Grapefruit League game due to an issue with his left side in what was initially labeled as a precautionary move. However, the outfielder's injury will ultimately cause him to miss the start of the regular season, and it's currently unclear if he'll be ready to return once eligible April 6. With Sanchez out, Griffin Conine will likely be the next man up to serve as the Marlins' Opening Day right fielder.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Precautionary exit with side issue
Sanchez's removal from Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros was a precautionary move due to an issue with his left side, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The Marlins sensed based on Sanchez's mannerisms following a fourth-inning double that he was uncomfortable and opted to pull him just to be safe. When asked by reporters after the game what he was dealing with, Sanchez pointed to his left side. Any side issue is a bit worrisome, but it does not seem at this point that there are any plans to take imaging of the area. Consider Sanchez day-to-day until more information is available.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Exits early Thursday
Sanchez was removed from Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros with a possible injury, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Sanchez went 2-for-3 with a single and double Thursday, but he was removed for a pinch runner after lining a double to left field in the fourth inning. It's unclear if his removal had anything to do with an injury, though the Marlins should offer more information after the game.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Clubs first spring homer
Sanchez went 1-for-2 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Monday's split-squad game against the Nationals.
The outfielder turned on a Mitchell Parker pitch in the fourth inning for his first long ball of the spring. Sanchez dealt with a sore elbow earlier in camp and has struggled to find his timing at the plate, going 3-for-22 (.136) in nine Grapefruit League appearances with a 2:7 BB:K. He's healthy now however, and he could even open the season as the starting center fielder given the Marlins' lack of appealing options at the position.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Receiving CF reps
Manager Clayton McCullough said Sunday that Sanchez will see the majority of his starts in center field during spring training since he's a known quantity in the corner outfield, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The 27-year-old saw most of his action in center field during 2022 (and posted plus-two Defensive Runs Saved and minus-two Outs Above Average), but he has made just nine appearances there across the past two seasons. Regardless of whether he ends up in center or right field, Sanchez has a secure spot in the heart of Miami's lineup after he finished 2024 with 18 homers, 16 steals and a .730 OPS.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Manning right field Friday
Sanchez (elbow) is starting in right field and batting leadoff in Friday's spring game against Atlanta.
Sanchez has been limited to serving as a designated hitter thus far in camp due to an elbow issue, but he's been cleared to play the field and is set for his first spring appearance in the outfield Friday. There was some thought the outfielder would be limited to DH duties to begin the regular season, but that no longer appears to be a concern.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Notches hit in spring debut
Sanchez (elbow) went 1-for-2 with a strikeout in Sunday's 1-1 tie with the Mets in Grapefruit League action.
Sanchez made his spring debut Sunday as the DH after opening camp with right elbow inflammation. The outfielder is coming off a 2024 campaign in which he batted .252 with a career-high 18 home runs, 64 RBI, 60 runs scored and 16 stolen bases over 489 at-bats in 149 games with Miami. Sanchez might be limited to DH duties early in the season until the Marlins are confident the elbow issue is behind him.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Could be limited to DH early
Sanchez, who is dealing with elbow inflammation, might be used as the Marlins' regular DH to begin the season, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The elbow issue isn't expected to force Sanchez to the injured list for Opening Day, but Miami might limit how much time the 27-year-old sees in the outfield until he's 100 percent healthy. Sanchez saw a career-high 537 plate appearances in 2024, turning that workload into 18 homers, 16 steals, 64 RBI and 60 runs along with a .252/.313/.417 slash line, and he's being counted on to fill a key spot in the Marlins' batting order.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Will get some reps in center field
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said Tuesday that Sanchez (elbow) will play some center field during spring training, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
Sanchez didn't play center field at all in 2024, but he started six games there in 2023 and 74 games at the position in 2022. The 27-year-old is still likely to see most of his action in right field in 2025, but it's possible he's used in center field on occasion. Derek Hill and Dane Myers are expected to see most of the reps in center field for the Marlins. Sanchez is currently overcoming right elbow inflammation but is expected to be cleared for full activities soon.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Recovering from elbow inflammation
Sanchez is recovering from right elbow inflammation, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Sanchez's hitting has continue uninterrupted and he is in the final stages of a throwing program, so it sounds like this is just a minor speed bump. The 27-year-old is projected to open the 2025 campaign as the Marlins' primary right fielder and should bat in the middle of the lineup.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Swipes bag, reaches four times
Sanchez went 3-for-6 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's extra-innings win over Minnesota.
Sanchez drew a walk in the fifth inning and then reached base on singles in each of his next three trips to the plate, but he was left stranded on each occasion. He was, however, able to swipe his 15th bag of the season and his fifth in the month of September while also extending his hitting streak to five games. The performance marked Sanchez's eighth game this season in which he tallied three or more hits. On the downside, he's struck out multiple times in three straight contests.

He's slashing .252/.309/.424 with 17 homers, 62 RBI, 52 runs scored and 14 stolen bases across 489 plate appearances this season.
