July 27, 2025
The Blue Jays selected Sanchez's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.
Analysis
Sanchez will be active for Sunday's game against the Tigers after Alejandro Kirk (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list. Sanchez is unlikely to play more than a couple times per week with Tyler Heineman handling starting duties behind the dish. Sanchez previously logged 11 plate appearances with Toronto earlier this season but has spent the bulk of the 2025 campaign at Buffalo, slashing .279/.347/.419 with six home runs over 199 plate appearances.

Sanchez is with the Blue Jays as a member of the taxi squad for Sunday's game against the Tigers, reports Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca.
Analysis
Starting catcher Alejandro Kirk is being evaluated for a concussion, so Toronto is bringing up some potential catching depth in case an IL stint is needed. Sanchez was briefly up with the Blue Jays earlier this season and went 2-for-11 with a double in five games. He would serve as the backup to Tyler Heineman should Kirk miss any time.
