Sanchez went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two stolen bases in Friday's loss to the White Sox.
The 27-year-old outfielder didn't make his season debut until April 15 due to an oblique strain, but Sanchez is looking fully healthy now. He's racked up multiple hits in three of the last four games, and three of his four steals on the year have come in those contests. Sanchez stole a career-high 16 bags on 18 attempts in 2024, and it looks like that success on the basepaths was no fluke. Despite the recent spark, he's slashing just .235/.321/.309 through 78 plate appearances with one homer, four runs and seven RBI.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Belts first homer of year
Rotowire
Sanchez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's win over the Mariners.
The Marlins' offense was completely shut down by Logan Gilbert (forearm) to begin the game, but once he left the mound after the third inning, the floodgates quickly opened. Sanchez's homer, his first of the year, came as part of a six-run fifth frame against Casey Lawrence. Sanchez is still struggling to find a rhythm at the plate after his delayed start to the season, and through nine games he's batting just .226 and only two extra-base over 31 at-bats.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Cleared for rehab assignment
Rotowire
Sanchez (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Sanchez suffered a left oblique strain back in mid-March during a spring training game but has been cleared to test things out in a game setting. The 27-year-old will require at least a handful of rehab contests in order to knock some rust off, but Sanchez should be ready to rejoin the Marlins' active roster in the not-too-distant future.

Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Lands on 10-day IL
Rotowire
The Marlins placed Sanchez on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a left oblique strain.
Sanchez suffered the injury in mid-March. Per Christina De Nicola of MLB.com, Sanchez recently began a hitting progression, but it's not clear if he'll be ready to come off the IL when first eligible April 4. With Sanchez on the shelf, the Marlins will deploy Kyle Stowers and Griffin Conine as their starting corner outfielders in Thursday's season opener versus the Pirates.
Manager Clayton McCullough said Saturday that Sanchez (side) will begin the season on the injured list, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Sanchez was pulled from Thursday's Grapefruit League game due to an issue with his left side in what was initially labeled as a precautionary move. However, the outfielder's injury will ultimately cause him to miss the start of the regular season, and it's currently unclear if he'll be ready to return once eligible April 6. With Sanchez out, Griffin Conine will likely be the next man up to serve as the Marlins' Opening Day right fielder.
Marlins' Jesus Sanchez: Precautionary exit with side issue
Rotowire
Sanchez's removal from Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros was a precautionary move due to an issue with his left side, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
The Marlins sensed based on Sanchez's mannerisms following a fourth-inning double that he was uncomfortable and opted to pull him just to be safe. When asked by reporters after the game what he was dealing with, Sanchez pointed to his left side. Any side issue is a bit worrisome, but it does not seem at this point that there are any plans to take imaging of the area. Consider Sanchez day-to-day until more information is available.
