The Blue Jays signed Sanchez to a minor-league contract on Monday, Jamie Campbell of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez started his career with the Blue Jays and made his major-league debut in 2014. His best season was in 2016, when he held a 15-2 record over 30 starts with a 3.00 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 161:63 K:BB over 192 innings. Sanchez split time between the Twins and Diamondbacks last season, though he remained in Triple-A for both teams. The 31-year-old right-hander will look to work his way up through the Blue Jays' system to make his first major-league appearance since 2022.

Sanchez will throw a bullpen session for interested teams Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez spent the 2023 campaign at the Triple-A level in the Twins and Diamondbacks organizations, and he held a 5.54 ERA over 22 appearances (20 starts). The 31-year-old last appeared in the majors in 2022, when he posted a 6.60 ERA and 41:15 K:BB across 60 innings between the Nationals and Twins.

Sanchez signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez was cut by the Twins in July after putting up a 5.30 ERA and 1.74 WHIP through 73 innings in Triple-A, and he'll now look to make the most of a second chance with Arizona. The 31-year-old righty has regressed significantly from his impressive 2021 campaign and will serve as organizational depth in Triple-A Reno.

Sanchez was released by the Twins on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez, 31, has spent all of this season at Triple-A St. Paul, where he posted a 5.30 ERA and 57:53 K:BB over 73 innings. The veteran hurler will now look to latch on in another organization.

The Twins reassigned Sanchez to minor-league camp Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez failed to win a spot on the Opening Day roster after he re-signed with the organization over the winter on a minor-league deal that included an invitation to MLB spring training. The right-hander struggled mightily in 2022 with a 6.60 ERA across 15 appearances with Minnesota and Washington. The 30-year-old right-hander looks to be little more than an organizational depth arm at this stage of his career.

Sanchez re-signed with the Twins on a minor-league contract Jan. 30.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez ended the 2022 season with the Twins. The right-hander posted a disappointing .660 ERA in 15 appearances -- 10 starts -- over 60 innings with Minnesota and the Nationals. Once one of the more promising young arms in baseball, Sanchez now will have to pitch well in the Grapefruit League if he has any chance of making the Twins' Opening Day roster.

The Twins selected Sanchez's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez will be up with the Twins for the third time this season after he cleared waivers and remained in the organization on the prior two occasions Minnesota designated him for assignment. Though he's started in 10 of his 14 appearances at the big-league level in 2022, Sanchez will likely work as a long reliever over the Twins' final three games of the season.

The Twins outrighted Sanchez to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez will stick around in the Minnesota organization for now, but expect him to elect free agency this offseason and explore his options on the open market. After turning in a 6.33 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in 58.1 innings in the big leagues this season across stops with Minnesota and Washington, the 30-year-old right-hander is unlikely to land anything more than a minor-league deal this winter.

Sanchez was designated for assignment by the Twins on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez joined the Twins on a minor-league deal in early June, making seven appearances (three starts) for the big-league club. The right-hander posted a 4.00 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 27 innings but will be designated for assignment for the second time in two months after Louie Varland was called up Friday.

Sanchez appeared in relief in Saturday's 13-0 loss to the White Sox, covering five innings and striking out four while allowing three earned runs on three hits and two walks.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez lost his spot in the rotation with Tyler Mahle returning from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday's contest, but Mahle ended up suffering a recurrence of right shoulder inflammation in the outing and was lifted after just two innings. With Mahle going back on the IL on Sunday, Sanchez now appears positioned to rejoin the rotation the next time Mahle's turn comes up Thursday against the Yankees in New York.
