Sun Aug 30 201512:28Sanchez out of Sunday's lineup against Mariners
Sanchez is out of Sunday's lineup against the Mariners, Doug Padilla of ESPN Chicago reports.
Sanchez has really taken off in the second half, batting .297/.329/.446 after the All-Star break. He will take the day off Sunday, however, with Gordon Beckham replacing him at second base and batting eighth for the White Sox.

Sanchez was running wild on Saturday, going 2-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, four RBI and two runs scored in an 11-4 win over the Mariners.
Sanchez has found a nice role with the White Sox as he has been regularly starting at second and third. He now has 19 doubles and a surprising .626 OPS for a player who seemed to have no power coming into the majors.
Wed Aug 12 201517:46Sanchez not in lineup for Wednesday's game against Angels
Sanchez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Gordon Beckham will get the nod at second base Wednesday against Andrew Heaney, as Sanchez sits after starting 36 of the team's last 37 games. The switch-hitting Sanchez has enjoyed very little success from the right side of the plate (.148/.193/.204 vs LHP), so it would make sense if his opportunities against left-handed pitching were scaled back moving forward.
Sun Jul 26 201510:28Sanchez 2-4 with first home run of season Saturday
Sanchez went 2-for-4 with his first home run of the season Saturday.
Sanchez was never a big power bat in the minors, so it should not be much of a surprise that it took him 200+ plate appearances to hit his first home run of the season. Sanchez's bat has begun to turn around of late, as he has notched a hit in eight of nine games since the All-Star break, going 11-for-29 (.379) over that stretch. Micah Johnson continues to excel at Triple-A Charlotte, but Sanchez continues to fend him off.
Sun Jun 28 201511:39Sanchez out of lineup Sunday against Tigers
Sanchez is out of the lineup Sunday against the Tigers, ESPN Chicago's Doug Padilla reports.
The switch-hitting Sanchez has been awful from both sides of the plate this season, but he's been particularly brutal against lefties this season, going 3-for-26 with a walk in his 27 plate appearances. With southpaw David Price on the mound for the Tigers, the White Sox will bench Sanchez in favor of Emilio Bonifacio with the hope of extracting more offense.
Thu Jun 18 201516:58Sanchez not in lineup against Pirates on Thursday
Sanchez is not in the lineup against the Pirates on Thursday, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Sanchez has started the last six games, but he'll get the night off as Gordon Beckham slides over to second base. Beckham will hit ninth against Pirates' starter Gerrit Cole.
Wed Jun 10 201516:51Sanchez not in lineup for Wednesday's game against Astros
Sanchez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.
Make it two straight on the bench for Sanchez, who is batting .145/.205/.184 in 85 plate appearances with the big club this season. Emilio Bonifacio will get the nod again at second base but jump to the two-hole against Vincent Velasquez with Alexei Ramirez also out of the lineup.
Tue Jun 9 201517:01Sanchez not in lineup for Tuesday's game against Astros
Sanchez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros, the Daryl Can Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Sanchez has received most of the playing time at second base since his May 15 call-up despite owning a dismal .145/.205/.184 slash line for the season. He also has an ugly 20:3 K:BB ratio, and he's yet to hit a home run or steal a base through 76 at-bats. Emilio Bonifacio will start at second base Tuesday, but Micah Johnson looms as the greater threat to Sanchez's job security.
Tue Jun 9 201510:52Sanchez 0-3 with two strikeouts against Astros on Monday to drop...
Sanchez went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts against the Astros on Monday to drop his batting average to .145 through 85 plate appearances.
Sanchez is now just 1-for-22 in June, and he has 19 strikeouts in 73 at-bats since his May 15 recall. Sanchez's glove has been fantastic at second, but one has to wonder how long manager Robin Ventura can keep his bat (or lack thereof) in a scuffling lineup. Micah Johnson has a .329 on-base percentage and six steals for Triple-A Charlotte since trading roster spots with Sanchez.
Mon May 25 201515:58Sanchez not in lineup against Blue Jays on Monday
Sanchez is not in the lineup against the Blue Jays on Monday.
Sanchez will receive the day off as the Sox go with Emilio Bonifacio at second base. Bonifacio will bat ninth against Toronto starter Drew Hutchison.
Thu May 21 201516:54Sanchez not in lineup Thursday against Indians
Sanchez is not in the lineup Thursday against the Indians, Dan Hayes of CSN Chicago reports.
Sanchez has started in all six games since being recalled, but has seen his average drop to .208 in that span. He's still the primary option at the keystone, so this is likely just a regular day off, as Emilio Bonifacio will assume the second base duties Thursday.
Tue May 19 201507:25Sanchez 1-4 with game-winning hit against Indians on Monday
Sanchez went 1-for-4 with a game-winning hit against the Indians on Monday.
He now as a hit in three of the four games since the White Sox promoted him from Triple-A Charlotte, but none of those games have been multi-hit affairs. Still, as long as he hits something, his glove should keep him at second base.
Fri May 15 201518:41Sanchez will start at second base and bat ninth Friday against A...
Sanchez will start at second base and bat ninth Friday against the A's, Dan Hayes of CSN Chicago reports.
General manager Rick Hahn confirmed that Sanchez will serve as the primary option at the keystone for the immediate future with Micah Johnson sent down to Triple-A Charlotte. Sanchez led the International League with 45 hits after his early-season demotion, but will have to swing his way out from the bottom of the order with the major league club.
Fri May 15 201508:36General manager Rick Hahn said Sanchez should serve as team's pr...
General manager Rick Hahn said Sanchez, who is expected to be recalled Friday, should serve as the team's primary second baseman for the immediate future, the Daily Herald reports.
Gordon Beckham and Emilio Bonifacio will also be in the mix, but it appears the White Sox would prefer to give starts and at-bats to Sanchez. Sanchez posted unimpressive stats during a 28-games callup in 2014, but he was leading the International League with 45 hits following his demotion from the MLB roster earlier this season.
Thu May 14 201513:36Sanchez expected to be called up Friday
Sanchez is expected to be called up Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
The White Sox optioned Micah Johnson to Triple-A on Thursday and are yet to announce a corresponding move. Sanchez is the obvious candidate after battling for the second base job with Johnson in camp. While Sanchez is an inferior hitter to Johnson, he's an upgrade on defense.
Sun May 3 201522:59Sanchez 2-5 against Triple-A Scranton Willkes-Barres on Sunday, ...
Sanchez went 2-for-5 against Triple-A Scranton Willkes-Barres on Sunday, and he is now hitting .402/.432/.582 in 91 at-bats at Charlotte.
Sanchez lost out to Micah Johnson for the White Sox's starting second base gig in spring training, and there was little room for him to serve in a utility role with Gordon Beckham and Emilio Bonifacio both serving in that capacity. However, Sanchez has been on fire since his mid-April demotion, while Johnson is hitting .246 for the White Sox and has done little on the basepaths. The two could swap at some point if both trends continue.
Sat Apr 11 201517:25Sanchez sent down to Triple-A after Saturday's game
Sanchez was sent down to Triple-A after Saturday's game, ESPN Chicago's Doug Padilla reports.
The White Sox essentially had four players on the 25-man roster capable of playing second base, so Sanchez was certainly expendable. This was the corresponding move to activating Chris Sale from the DL for Sunday's start. It should open the door for Micah Johnson to play almost every day going forward.
Thu Apr 9 201508:20Sanchez 2-3 against Royals on Wednesday
Sanchez went 2-for-3 against the Royals on Wednesday.
He made the start with Micah Johnson sitting against the left-handed starter. Johnson apparently won the starting second base job out of camp, but Sanchez could be back in the conversation if Johnson struggles (as he has so far in a very limited sample).
Wed Apr 8 201516:05Sanchez will get start at second base Wednesday
Sanchez will get the start at second base Wednesday, the Chicago Sun-Times' Daryl Van Schouwen reports.
With lefty Danny Duffy on the mound, Micah Johnson is getting the day off. Johnson is the only guy at the keystone with significant fantasy potential on the White Sox, as Sanchez is almost all glove.
Mon Apr 6 201508:00Sanchez has lost White Sox's starting second base battle to Mica...
Sanchez has lost the White Sox's starting second base battle to Micah Johnson, ESPN Chicago reports.
Sanchez had a good spring, but the Sox would prefer to give the opportunity to Johnson, who has a bit more upside. Sanchez will hang onto a utility role for at least the first week of the regular season, but he might be sent back to the minors when Chris Sale comes off the DL on April 12. Sanchez might be the club's first alternative at second if Johnson flops.
