Gary Sánchez's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Milwaukee Brewers reinstated catcher Gary Sanchez (calf) from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday and placed outfielder Christian Yelich (back) on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Sanchez isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale at Wrigley Field against the division-rival Chicago Cubs, but the 31-year-old veteran backstop figures to be the team's regular DH moving forward now that Yelich is out for the foreseeable future with a nagging back injury. Sanchez has been out the last month with a left-calf strain but is worth rostering in two-catcher leagues due to his power from the right side, at the very least. He hasn't been quite as good as he was with the San Diego Padres in 2023, but Sanchez has contributed seven long balls in 51 games as the primary backup to William Contreras.

The Milwaukee Brewers announced on Friday that catcher Gary Sanchez (calf) and left-hander Jared Koenig (elbow) were sent on minor-league rehab assignments with Triple-A Nashville. Sanchez is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a left-calf strain and could return to the Brewers' big-league roster next week as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks while on his rehab assignment this weekend. When the 31-year-old veteran catcher is able to return from the 10-day injured list, he'll return to backup catching duties to William Contreras and also occasionally serve as the team's designated hitter. He's been out for over three weeks at this point due to his calf injury but has a good shot to return before the end of July. In two-catcher leagues, Sanchez remains useful for his power while playing for the first-place Brew Crew.

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Gary Sanchez (calf) is well ahead of schedule in his rehab from a calf strain that was originally expected to keep him out for 12 weeks, according to manager Pat Murphy. Sanchez was placed on the injured list in late June due to his calf injury and won't return to the Brewers before next week's All-Star break, but the 31-year-old backstop could be back sooner than later in the second half of the season. When he returns, he'll still be second fiddle to starter William Contreras, but Sanchez will still have fantasy value in two-catcher leagues for his power (seven home runs) in 147 at-bats. However, he won't do you any favors in the batting average department (he's currently hitting just .218). With Sanchez sidelined, veteran Eric Haase has been Contreras' primary backup at the major-league level.

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Gary Sanchez (calf) is dealing with a low-grade left-calf strain and will go on the 10-day injured list. In a corresponding move, the Brewers are calling up Eric Haase from the minors to serve as the backup to William Contreras. Sanchez's injury isn't all that serious, so there's a chance that he'll be able to come off the injured list when he's eligible on July 4. The 31-year-old right-handed-hitting backstop resurfaced with the San Diego Padres in 2023, when he hit 19 home runs, but he's playing second fiddle to Contreras in Milwaukee this year and is currently batting .218 (32-for-147) in 51 games. However, he's still hit seven home runs and has maintained utility in two-catcher fantasy leagues because of his pop at a shallow position. For now, Haase will back up Contreras for the Brew Crew.

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Gary Sanchez brought in the only two runs on Monday in the loss to the Kansas City Royals. Sanchez went 1-for-4, with his only hit being a two-run home run, while striking out once. The 31-year-old catcher has been trying to improve his slow start to the season, hitting .212 (11-for-52) through 20 games. He has recorded three doubles, four homers, six runs, eight RBI, three walks and 10 strikeouts. He remains most relevant in two-catcher leagues for his pop and while being the backup to William Contreras. The tough matchups for the Brewers catcher will continue this week, finishing up in Kansas City before hosting the St. Louis Cardinals.
