Sanchez is being brought along slowly this spring after injuring his back while taking his mother's luggage down a flight of stairs in early-February. "It felt way better than [Tuesday], so it's improving," said Sanchez. The 28-year-old infielder is a non-roster player this spring after batting just .240/.305/.285 with one home run and 28 RBI in 110 games last season at the major league level.

Angels sent INF Angel Sanchez outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Sanchez successfully cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last week. The 28-year-old shortstop batted just .240/.305/.285 with one home run and 28 RBI in 110 games last season at the major league level. He will be in Astros' camp as a non-roster player.

Astros designated INF Angel Sanchez for assignment.

The 28-year-old shortstop batted just .240/.305/.285 with one home run and 28 RBI in 110 games last season at the major league level. With the Astros adding shortstop Jed Lowrie over the offseason, Sanchez was unlikely to see nearly as much playing time in 2012.

Angel Sanchez has just four hits in his last 24 at-bats.

We could see this coming. Sanchez got off to a red-hot start, but the journeyman simply didn't have the skills to sustain it. He's also had trouble getting into the lineup since Clint Barmes returned from the DL, and he'll have even more problems once Jeff Keppinger comes back.

Angel Sanchez went 4-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 11-2 victory over the Cubs.

It's time to start paying attention to this formerly light-hitting infielder. In relief of the injured Clint Barmes, Sanchez is now batting .395/.438/.512 while knocking in eight runs. He definitely needs to be owned in NL-only leagues until Barmes returns.

Angel Sanchez went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Phillies.

The light-hitting infielder wrapped a pair of singles off Roy Halladay, which qualifies as a career highlight for him. Sanchez will get the most playing time at shortstop until Clint Barmes returns from injury, but he shouldn't be on your fantasy radar.

Sanchez has been sidelined for a few days with an upper back strain. He was cleared to return to baseball activities Monday and isn't far away from returning to the lineup. The 27-year-old infielder is batting .250 (7-for-28) with a double and one RBI this spring.

Angel Sanchez (oblique) likely won't swing a bat for the next few days.

Sanchez is currently dealing with a strained oblique muscle, so he'll be a bit slowed to begin spring training. The 27-year-old batted .280/.316/.348 with zero homers and 25 RBI over 269 plate appearances with the Astros in 2010 and is expected to serve as a backup middle infielder for the club this season.
