Jesús Sánchez DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez (back) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers and left-handed opener Jack Dreyer, playing right field and batting cleanup for the Fish. Sanchez will be returning to the lineup for the first time since April 30 due to back tightness. The 27-year-old also opened the 2025 season on the injured list with an oblique strain, so injuries have been a problem early on this year. When the Dominican has been on the field, he hasn't looked great, going 10-for-51 (.196) with only one home run, four RBI, three runs scored, a stolen base and 15 strikeouts in 15 games played. When he's right, Sanchez squares the ball up regularly and hits the ball as hard as anyone. But until he gets his feet under him and starts performing more consistently, fantasy managers might want to keep him benched.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez (back) remains sidelined on Sunday when the Marlins conclude a series against the Athletics. Sanchez was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to back tightness and will remain sidelined on Sunday. The 27-year-old has only appeared in 14 games this season and has posted a modest .200/.310/.300 slash line with two doubles and one home run. Under the hood, Sanchez has generated a solid .360 xwOBA and an 11.4 percent barrel rate, which suggests he should see some positive regression when he returns to the starting nine. However, this afternoon, the Marlins will give Dane Myers the start in center field, and Ronny Simon and Kyle Stowers will cover the corners.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez is not in the team's starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the visiting Athletics. Kyle Stowers is starting in right field and is batting second, while Eric Wagaman is patrolling left field and batting cleanup versus A's rookie Gunnar Hoglund, who will be making his MLB debut. This will be Sanchez's second straight day of rest after the Marlins had an off day on Thursday. The 27-year-old Dominican hasn't found his footing at the plate yet after starting the year on the injured list. Sanchez is currently slashing .200/.310/.300 with only one home run, four RBI, three runs scored and a steal in 50 at-bats. He should be back in there on Saturday as the series continues in South Beach. Stowers and Wagaman could both be worth a look as DFS sleepers. Stowers, in particular, is intriguing after starting the year with a .323 average (31-for-96) with four homers and 19 RBI.
