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.

Sanchez allowed two runs on six hits, a walk and a hit batsman while striking out two in 3.2 innings in an 8-3 win Sunday against San Francisco. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez has allowed two runs in each of his three starts for Minnesota with Sunday's outing being his shortest since joining the team. It was a rocky outing for the veteran as he allowed eight of the 18 batters he faced to reach safely and tossed just 50 of 81 pitches for strikes. He has a 4.26 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB in 12.2 innings for the Twins. With Tyler Mahle (shoulder) likely returning at the end of the week, Sanchez may not make another start for Minnesota for a while.

Sanchez is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Giants at Target Field.

EDGE Analysis

Following a three-week stint at Triple-A St. Paul, Sanchez made his return to the Twins on Tuesday and was solid if unspectacular over his four-inning start against Houston, taking the loss while allowing two earned runs on six hits and one walk. He'll remain in the rotation for a second straight turn this weekend, though Sanchez will likely find himself as the odd man out as soon as the Twins return Tyler Mahle (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list.

Sanchez (3-4) gave up two earned runs in six hits and and one walk while striking out four over four innings to take the loss in a 4-2 defeat against the Astros on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez was recalled from Triple-A to replace Tyler Mahle (shoulder) in the rotation. Sanchez threw 75 pitches and got 12 outs while giving up a pair of runs in a mediocre appearance for the fringe starter. He has not given up fewer than two earned runs in nine starts this season and wears a bloated ERA of 7.36. One silver lining is that Sanchez has struck out 12 batters over nine innings in two starts for the Twins. He could make his next start Sunday against the Giants.

The Twins selected Sanchez's contract from Triple-A St. Paul ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday in Houston, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Minnesota cleared room for Sanchez on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster by transferring Alex Kirilloff (wrist) to the 60-day injured list and by optioning Devin Smeltzer to St. Paul, respectively. Sanchez could be in store for a two-start week while Tyler Mahle (shoulder) is on the 15-day IL, but the veteran right-hander won't make for an especially enticing fantasy option. Between previous stints in the big leagues with Washington and Minnesota this season, Sanchez turned in a 7.68 ERA and 1.68 WHIP across 36.1 innings.

Sanchez will have his contract selected to start Tuesday's game against the Astros, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez was designated for assignment earlier in the month and ultimately accepted an assignment at Triple-A St. Paul, but he's set to receive another shot in the big leagues this season. Through eight starts in 2022, he's accrued a 7.68 ERA and 1.68 WHIP with 24 strikeouts across 36.1 innings.

Sanchez has cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A St. Paul.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander was designated for assignment by the Twins earlier this week after making a spot start, but he'll remain with the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Sanchez allowed two runs with eight strikeouts over five innings, and the team could give him look later in the year when another spot starter is needed.

Sanchez was designated for assignment by the Twins on Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander was called up and allowed two runs over five innings Tuesday during a spot start, but his stay on Minnesota's big-league roster will be brief due to the acquisition of Tyler Mahle. Sanchez began the year with the Nationals and had a 7.68 ERA across 36.1 innings. He will be subjected to waivers.

Sanchez didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Tigers, giving up two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was brought up from Triple-A St. Paul earlier in the day to make a spot start, but Sanchez may have earned himself a longer stay in the rotation with this effort. He tossed 51 of 81 pitches for strikes before exiting, including an eye-popping 17 swinging strikes, and the eight Ks doubled his prior season high from a rough seven-start stint with the Nationals earlier in the year. Should the Twins be unable to add a starter at Tuesday's trade deadline, Sanchez could wind up being their Plan B.
