2026 Fantasy Outlook
Sanoja displays two main skills: he rarely strikes out, and he can play all over the diamond. Last season, he fanned only six percent of the time while appearing in at least 10 games at five positions. Unfortunately, his quality of contact is weak, and while his sprint speed is above average, it ranks in the 67th percentile. Last season, his modest skill set produced an 86 wRC+. In 2023, he stole 37 bases in the low minors, and the Marlins are aggressive on the basepaths, but his low .287 OBP resulted in only six steals in 120 games last year. Three-position eligibility is useful, but the production profile makes him relevant only in the deepest formats. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Marlins in March of 2026.
Receiving breather Sunday
Sanoja is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Analysis
Sanoja will get a breather after he started the last four games -- three at third base, one at shortstop -- and went 2-for-14 with one double, one walk and three runs. Otto Lopez will be back at shortstop after serving as the Marlins' designated hitter Saturday, while Connor Norby receives the nod at the hot corner.

Stat Review
How does Javier Sanoja 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.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
A 5-foot-7, 150-pound utility player who makes contact at an elite clip but doesn't do much else, Sanoja is only noteworthy because he should spend some time in the majors again after surprisingly debuting in his age-21 season. He had a 6.5 percent strikeout rate and 8.5 percent walk rate in 126 games in the minors in 2024, primarily at Triple-A, where he hit six home runs and stole 14 bases in 111 games. He had zero barrels, one walk and four strikeouts in 36 plate appearances in the majors, but his defensive versatility and strong makeup will buy him more opportunities for the rebuilding Marlins. In a best-case scenario, Sanoja would follow a similar path to teammate Otto Lopez, hitting for a high enough average to potentially play regularly while chipping in 15-20 steals, but even that middling outcome seems unrealistic in 2025.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Opening at shortstop?
Sanoja could have a path to playing time at shortstop after the Marlins designated Tim Anderson for assignment Tuesday.
Analysis
Anderson worked as Miami's primary shortstop for the first half of 2024, but the veteran was let go since he had a .214/.237/.226 slash line in 65 contests. Xavier Edwards is now expected to receive a look at shortstop for the Marlins, but he's hardly guaranteed to produce after he posted a .662 OPS in his first taste of the majors last year. Sanoja is a fringe prospect but is hitting well in his first look at Triple-A this season with a .307/.378/.455 slash line through 279 plate appearances.
