Sanchez allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out five across 6.1 innings in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Dodgers on Thursday. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez was in a compelling pitcher's duel with Tyler Glasnow, with his only run coming on an inherited runner after he exited the game. While Sanchez didn't overpower the Dodgers' lineup, he induced 10 groundouts to go along with 14 swinging strikes on 95 total pitches. Despite it coming in a losing effort, Sanchez wrapped up an excellent 2025 season and is very likely to be a Cy Young finalist in the coming weeks.

Sanchez did not factor in the decision during Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Dodgers in Game 1 of the National League Division Series. He allowed two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out eight across 5.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez struck out two in the top of the first inning and cruised through five shutout frames before retiring the first two batters in the top of the sixth. Things then unraveled for the Phillies, as Sanchez walked Freddie Freeman before allowing two-out hits to Tommy Edman and Enrique Hernandez. Hernandez's double plated two, and Sanchez was pulled from the game in favor of David Robertson, who was able to get Max Muncy to end the threat. Matt Strahm, however, surrendered a go-ahead three-run home run to Teoscar Hernandez in the seventh inning. Sanchez looked untouchable prior to the sixth, and he should be available to make his next start Thursday in Game 4 if the series gets to that point.

Sanchez did not factor in the decision during Sunday's extra-inning win against Minnesota. He allowed two hits over 5.2 shutout innings while striking out eight.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez could've produced a career day if he hadn't been on a workload restriction ahead of the postseason. He racked up 17 whiffs on just 60 total pitches, including eight with his changeup. Sanchez has posted a 1.59 ERA over his last six starts. He wrapped up his terrific 2025 regular season with a 2.50 ERA and a 212:44 K:BB through 202 frames. It was the first time he crossed the 200-inning mark, and he did so with a career-high 9.4 K/9.

Sanchez is listed as the Phillies' probable starter for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Philadelphia seemed likely to hold Sanchez out for any potential wild-card matchup, but after clinching a first-round bye in the postseason with a win Wednesday, the team has since decided to start Sanchez on Sunday in a final tuneup before Game 1 of the NLDS on Oct. 4. It could be something of an abbreviated start for Sanchez, who will not be winning the NL Cy Young over Paul Skenes but should be a finalist for the award after his first career 200-strikeout campaign.

Sanchez didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Marlins, scattering three hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw was brilliant once again, firing 65 of 91 pitches for strikes and leaving the mound in line for his 14th win, but the Phillies' bullpen melted down late. Sanchez had to settle for his 22nd quality start of 2025, tying him for the major-league lead with Logan Webb, and his first career 200-strikeout season. He's risen to the occasion as the team's ace due to Zack Wheeler (shoulder) being lost for the year -- Sanchez has completed seven innings in four of his last five outings, posting a 1.85 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 31:3 K:BB through 34 innings during that span. Sanchez's next start is expected to come in the first game of the playoffs, and he'll wrap up a breakout regular season with a 2.57 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 204:44 K:BB through 196.1 innings.

Sanchez allowed four runs on seven hits and struck out six without walking a batter over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez gave up three runs in the second inning and one more in the fourth. The Phillies' offense couldn't get anything going early on, as Shohei Ohtani threw five no-hit innings, but the Dodgers' bullpen was far less formidable. Sanchez has allowed a total of seven runs over his last 27 innings and is now at a 2.66 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 198:43 K:BB through 189.1 innings across 30 starts this season. He's tentatively projected for a home start versus the Marlins next week, which would be his last of the regular season if the Phillies continue to roll with a six-man rotation.

Sanchez (13-5) earned the win over the Mets on Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out six over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez was sharp once again, delivering his third straight outing of just one earned run allowed and continuing a dominant stretch in which he's yielded one run or fewer in 11 of his last 15 starts. With Wednesday's effort, the southpaw also set a new career high in innings pitched at 182.1, underscoring the stability he's added to his profile in 2025. Sanchez has now completed six or more innings in 22 of his 29 starts this season. The 28-year-old will carry a 2.57 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 192:43 K:BB into his next scheduled start against the Dodgers, a matchup that should provide one of his tougher tests down the stretch.

Sanchez (12-5) earned the win over the Marlins on Friday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out five over seven innings.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez was extremely efficient Friday, needing just 82 pitches (57 strikes) to cruise through seven innings and record his 20th quality start of the season. The performance also gave the left-hander his 12th win, setting a new career high, and further highlighting his dominance during this breakout year. Sanchez has continued to provide valuable length, working at least seven innings in seven of his last 12 starts while keeping his ERA among the league's best. The 28-year-old will take a 2.60 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 186:42 K:BB across 176.1 innings into his next scheduled outing against the star-studded Mets.

Sanchez did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Atlanta, allowing one run on seven hits and no walks with eight strikeouts over seven innings.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez opened with five scoreless frames before allowing a run in the sixth, generating a whopping 20 whiffs on 97 pitches. It was a strong rebound after the Cy-Young contender allowed a season-high six runs Monday, and he's now delivered a quality start in 19 of his 27 outings this season. He'll carry a 2.66 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 181:41 K:BB across 169.1 innings into a road matchup with the Marlins next weekend.

Sanchez (11-5) took the loss against the Mets on Monday, allowing five runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out four over 5.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez cruised early, holding New York hitless through the first three frames, but ran into trouble, allowing 11 baserunners and five runs over the next 2.1 innings before being lifted. It was the southpaw's shortest outing since May 24 and the first time all season he's allowed five earned runs in a start. Despite Monday's stumble, Sanchez still owns a 2.66 ERA (seventh-best in MLB) along with a 1.13 WHIP and a 173:41 K:BB across 162.1 innings.
