Stat Review
How does Ali Sanchez compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be promoted
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.
