2024 Fantasy Outlook
Sanchez missed the last half of spring training with soreness in his left triceps. He came off the IL in late April to make a start in a doubleheader, then was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Sanchez wasn't pitching well, but the Phillies needed rotation help, so they recalled Sanchez in mid-June. Something clicked as the right-handers went on to start 17 more games, with one relief appearance. His 3.44 ERA was fully supported by its estimators, though Sanchez benefited from a .272 BABIP, which is low for a pitcher with a 57 percent ground ball rate. His four percent walk rate was much lower than previous seasons, while his 24.2 strikeout clip matched his minor league track record. Sanchez isn't assured of a spot in the opening day rotation, but he merits a long look in the spring. He'll be hard-pressed to match his 1.05 WHIP as his BABIP is likely to increase as well as giving back some of the control gains exhibited lasts season. Sanchez's three-pitch mix, featuring a 92-mph sinker, changeup and slider doesn't portend a front-end starter, but Sanchez could be a reliable back-end fantasy guy, shielded from the most potent lineups.

Could pitch in relief in Game 4
Sanchez is available in relief Wednesday in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Mets, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Sanchez has had just two days to rest after throwing 88 pitches in Game 2, but he will be available for at least a couple innings out of the bullpen in Game 4, if needed. The left-hander took a no-decision in Game 2, permitting two runs over five frames.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Sanchez made the Opening Day roster for the first time in 2022, though he spent the year bouncing between the majors and minors, never doing enough to stick permanently at the highest level. He started three games and pitched in relief in 12 more, finishing with a 5.63 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 40 innings. His ERA estimators suggested he was the victim of some bad luck, though even his 4.02 SIERA hardly indicates a future as a high-impact weapon. Both Sanchez's 19.8 K% and 9.6 BB% were sub-par, and his 54.2% groundball rate, while above-average, wasn't nearly enough of an outlier to make up for them. The lefty did manage a much better 3.14 ERA in 15 appearances (including 14 starts) at the Triple-A level, with correspondingly stronger ratios, but at age 26, he's past the point where a large step forward is likely. He'll likely be fighting for a swingman role this season and should be streamed with caution if he earns any starts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Lining up for Game 2?
The Phillies could turn to Sanchez to start Game 2 of their opening playoff series given his drastic home/road splits this season, per Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
ANALYSIS
Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola remain the top pitchers of the staff, but Sanchez's 2.05 ERA in 16 home starts this season versus 5.02 on the road could prompt Philadelphia to prioritize a home start for him. The Phillies have already clinched the NL East crown but have yet to secure a bye for the wild-card round, though they lead the Brewers by 2.5 games. Sanchez has been especially dominant in his past six starts regardless of the venue, as he has a 2.17 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 45:9 K:BB in his past seven outings, three of which have been on the road.
