Wed Feb 714:43Aaron Sanchez To Throw For Teams Friday
Free-agent right-hander Aaron Sanchez is scheduled to throw a bullpen session for interested teams on Friday in Florida. A 2016 MLB All-Star, Sanchez hasn't appeared in the big leagues since the 2022 season when he worked to a 6.60 ERA across 15 outings (10 starts) between the Washington Nationals and Minnesota Twins. The 31-year-old won the ERA title in his All-Star 2016 season in which he worked to a 3.00 ERA across 30 starts while going a pristine 15-2 with the Blue Jays that season. He finished seventh in AL Cy Young voting that year, as well. He seemed to be back on track with a 3.06 ERA in a seven-start, nine-outing sample with the 2021 Giants before struggling in 2022. He tossed a 5.30 ERA across 18 appearances (16 starts) with Triple-A St. Paul in the Twins organization in 2023.

Wed Aug 9 202321:36Aaron Sanchez Signs With Diamondbacks
Free-agent starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez has agreed on a minor-league contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Sanchez was released by the Minnesota Twins a few weeks ago. He made eight appearances (three starts) with the Twins last season, but didn't pitch too well. The 31-year-old hasn't pitched in the MLB yet this season and is expected to head to Triple-A Reno. This appears to be a depth move, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect much from Sanchez.

Sat Feb 4 202312:15Twins Re-Sign Aaron Sanchez
The Minnesota Twins re-signed right-hander Aaron Sanchez to a minor-league deal. Along with the Twins, Sanchez also pitched for the Washington Nationals last year. When all was said and done, he had a career-worst 6.60 ERA (4.48 FIP), 1.55 WHIP and weak 15.5 percent strikeout rate in 60 innings pitched over 15 appearances (10 starts). Sanchez was an All-Star with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2016 and had a much more promising fantasy outlook earlier in his career, but lingering injuries (mostly finger/hand) derailed his career. The 30-year-old will be looking to impress Minnesota's coaching staff in spring training to see if he can win a role on the pitching staff entering the 2023 season. Sanchez can be ignored in most fantasy formats.

Sat May 28 202222:18Aaron Sanchez Designated For Assignment On Saturday
The Washington Nationals designated pitcher Aaron Sanchez for assignment on Saturday. Washington will keep reliever Andrs Machado on the roster while the move to designate Sanchez opens up a spot in the team's starting five until Stephen Strasburg (neck) returns. Sanchez has struggled mightily this season, posting an 8.33 ERA, 1.76 WHIP, and 16 strikeouts over 31 1/3 innings. The 29-year-old will report to Triple-A Rochester or test free agency if the right-hander goes unclaimed. Fantasy managers can leave Sanchez on the waiver wire.

Sat Apr 23 202211:33Aaron Sanchez To Start On Saturday
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez will take the mound for Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The 29-year-old will be making his team debut after pitching well in the minors. Sanchez posted a 3.60 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 10/5 K/BB ratio across 15 innings in Triple-A. Honestly, it's tough to trust Sanchez for this matchup. He has experienced success in the past, but the Giants' bats have been hot lately. Fantasy managers can use Sanchez at their own risk.

Sat Apr 23 202208:44Nationals To Select Aaron Sanchez, Could Start Saturday
The Washington Nationals will be selecting the contract of veteran pitcher Aaron Sanchez. The 29-year-old will be joining the team prior to Saturday's game against his former team, the San Francisco Giants. The Nationals have yet to name a starter for Saturday's contest. Sanchez could be line for the start or he could work a long relief role. The right-hander signed a minor league deal with the Nationals this offseason. He's made three starts at Triple-A this year and he has pitched to a 3.60 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP while averaging 6.0 K/9.

Sun Mar 13 202223:34Nationals Sign Aaron Sanchez To Minor-League Deal
The Washington Nationals signed free-agent pitcher Aaron Sanchez to a minor-league deal with an invite to spring training on Sunday. If the right-hander makes the big leagues, he could earn up to $4 million in performance bonuses. The 29-year-old was solid for the Giants in 2021, posting a 3.06 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and a 26:15 K:BB over 35 1/3 innings before being released by the team in mid-August. Sanchez is mainly an option in deeper leagues if he cracks Washington's starting rotation, which could happen with Joe Ross (elbow) and Stephen Strasburg (shoulder) recovering from injuries.

Fri Aug 13 202120:34Aaron Sanchez Released
Starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez was released by the San Francisco Giants on Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. The Giants designated Sanchez for assignment on Sunday, and he went unclaimed on waivers. Sanchez was having his best year since winning the ERA title in 2016, pitching to a 3.06 ERA with 26 strikeouts, 15 walks, and just two home runs allowed in 35.1 innings pitched. If Sanchez can latch on to another team with an open rotation spot, he can be a sneaky waiver wire pick-up in deep leagues.

Sun Aug 8 202116:09Aaron Sanchez Designated For Assignment
San Francisco Giants pitcher Aaron Sanchez was designated for assignment on Sunday as part of a series of roster moves made by the club. Sanchez previously spent time on the injured list this season due to right bicep tightness. He's made nine appearances, including seven starts, for the Giants this season. Sanchez pitched to a 3.06 ERA, a 4.04 FIP, 26 strikeouts, and 15 walks in 35.1 innings. If the 29-year-old lands with another Major League team and has the chance to start, he could be worth a look for fantasy managers in deeper leagues searching for rotation help.

Wed Aug 4 202110:32Aaron Sanchez Has Scoreless Relief Outing Tuesday
San Francisco Giants pitcher Aaron Sanchez pitched three scoreless innings out of the bullpen in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Diamondbacks. Sanchez allowed a hit and four walks with a strikeout. It was the 29-year-old's second appearance since returning from the injured list with right biceps tightness. Sanchez started the season in the Giants' rotation and looked good, but there is currently no spot available for him. He will still be able to help the Giants, but this decreases his fantasy value and is unfortunate, as he has a stellar 2.97 ERA through his 33 1/3 IP this season.

Thu Jul 29 202122:24Aaron Sanchez Activated From Injured List Thursday
San Francisco Giants pitcher Aaron Sanchez was activated from the 60-day injured list Thursday after recovering from right biceps tightness. Sanchez made just six starts for the Giants before landing on the IL in early May, but had a solid 3.18 ERA. He will shift to the bullpen with the Giants' rotation currently full, which hurts his fantasy value. Pitcher John Brebbia was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento, outfielder Mike Tauchman was designated for assignment, and shortstop Brandon Crawford was activated from the 10-day IL in a string or corresponding moves.

Fri Apr 23 202101:30Padres edge Dodgers 3-2 to open key NL West series
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jurickson Profar singled and scored the tiebreaking run in the eighth inning, and the San Diego Padres opened the second series of the season in Southern California’s lively baseball rivalry with a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night. Trent Grisham homered and had two hits for the Padres, who snapped a three-game skid as they opened a four-game series at chilly Chavez Ravine with the Dodgers’ first home loss of the season. Los Angeles took two of three in San Diego last weekend, but the Padres answered with timely hits, strong pitching and a fantastic inning-ending double play in the eighth, capping yet another well-played matchup between two stacked rosters. AJ Pollock and Sheldon Neuse hit back-to-back homers leading off the seventh for the major league-leading Dodgers, who have lost three of four after a 13-2 start to the season. With several key hitters injured, Los Angeles has scored just 10 runs in its last five games. Profar and Victor Caratini... [More]
Tue Apr 13 202101:55Schwarber returns as Washington beats St. Louis 5-2
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Kyle Schwarber doubled in a run in his delayed Washington debut, Andrew Stevenson had a pinch-hit homer and the Nationals beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-2 on Monday night. Schwarber, Josh Bell and Josh Harrison were in the starting lineup after being sidelined for Washington’s first six games by a coronavirus outbreak that prompted the postponement of the team’s season-opening series and left the club short-handed. The Nats ended a five-game skid, while the Cardinals have lost three straight. Stevenson hit his first homer of the season into St. Louis’ bullpen in right field to lead off the seventh, putting Washington ahead 4-2. Kyle Finnegan (1-0) pitched 1 1/3 innings for the win. Brad Hand got three outs for his first save. Yadier Molina homered for St. Louis. John Gant (0-1) allowed three runs in five-plus innings.

Sun Feb 21 202117:23MLB spring training still a hot ticket in Arizona
PHOENIX (AP) — Even during a pandemic, the appetite to sit in the sun and watch Major League Baseball spring training appears robust. The Arizona Diamondbacks sold out their entire spring allotment of tickets in less than 24 hours after they went on sale to the public. Approximately 2,200 tickets were sold for all 14 of the team's home games, with fans spread throughout the park in pods of two, four or six seats and masks are required except when eating or drinking. That's 20 percent of the stadium's normal 11,000-person capacity. “The fact that it sold out as fast as it did — that fires me up,” Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. “We've been looking forward to this day as much as them.” The Colorado Rockies — who share the Salt River Fields facility with the D-backs — have also sold out of tickets to their home games. The two teams open their spring training schedule against each other next Sunday. Spring training facilities across Arizona and Florida have been making their own decisions... [More]
Sun Feb 21 202116:03Right-hander Aaron Sanchez, Giants reach $4M, one-year deal
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Right-hander Aaron Sanchez finalized a $4 million, one-year contract with the San Francisco Giants on Sunday, giving the club another experienced starter to join Johnny Cueto in the rotation. The Giants said Sanchez could earn up to $2.5 million more in performance bonuses based on starts: $250,000 each for 16 and 18 starts and $500,000 each for 20, 22, 24 and 26 games started. He has been plagued by injuries in recent years. The 28-year-old Sanchez hasn't pitched since 2019, sitting out last year's shortened season while recovering from surgery on his pitching shoulder. He went 5-14 with a 5.89 ERA over 27 starts and 131 1/3 innings playing for Toronto and Houston. A 2016 All-Star for the Blue Jays, he made only 20 starts in 2018 and eight starts the year before because of a blister and split fingernail. The Giants cleared room on the 40-man roster for Sanchez by designating right-hander Trevor Gott for assignment. ___ More AP MLB coverage: https://apnews.com/MLB

HOUSTON (AP) — Reliever Joe Biagini agreed Monday to a $1 million, one-year deal with the AL champion Houston Astros, who declined to offer a contract to starter Aaron Sanchez and allowed the former All-Star to become a free agent.Both right-handers were acquired from Toronto at the July 31 trade deadline along with minor league outfielder Cal Stevenson for outfielder Derek Fisher.Biagini, who turns 30 in May, had a 7.36 ERA in 13 regular-season appearances for the Astros and did not pitch in the postseason.Sanchez, a 27-year-old right-hander, was an All-Star for Toronto in 2016.
