Sanchez was recalled to start the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The start will be the first of Sanchez's big-league career. He owns a 3.68 ERA and an 8:4 K:BB in 7.1 innings of relief at the highest level this season. The Phillies didn't play Wednesday and got a complete game from Zack Wheeler in the first game of the day, however, so their bullpen should be well-rested, meaning Sanchez may not be asked to pitch deep into the contest.

The Phillies optioned Sanchez to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Sanchez will cede his spot on the active roster and in the bullpen to Chase Anderson, who was reinstated from the COVID-19-related injured list in a corresponding move. Since he worked two innings in relief in Saturday's blowout loss to Atlanta, Sanchez was unlikely to be available out of the Philadelphia bullpen for the next two days.

Sanchez (1-0) earned the win in relief Sunday against the Red Sox after allowing one run on four hits and a walk across three innings, fanning two.
EDGE Analysis
Sanchez worked behind opener Brandon Kintzler, who only tossed one inning, and he limited the damage just enough to come away with his first win of the campaign. This was just Sanchez's second appearance of the season and he's not expected to play a big role out of the bullpen moving forward.

Sanchez will serve as a bulk reliever Sunday against the Red Sox, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sanchez was recalled Sunday as the Phillies are without several of their pitchers due to contact tracing. Brandon Kintzler will start the game and is expected to face the first four batters. Sanchez will relieve him and should work several innings.

Sanchez was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday and could start against the Red Sox, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sanchez was recalled after four Philadelphia pitchers were placed on the COVID-19 related injured list. Among those players was Aaron Nola, who was scheduled to start Sunday. Though no plans have been made official by the team, Sanchez served as a starter for Triple-A Lehigh Valley and is on regular rest. He's posted a 4.46 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in the minors this season, while also managing a 44:26 K:BB across 38.1 innings.

Sanchez was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Sanchez was recalled prior to Sunday's game against the Nationals and wound up making his major-league debut during the contest. He tossed 1.1 innings of scoreless ball, striking out two along the way. Despite the successful first big-league outing, he'll head back to Triple-A Lehigh Valley for the time being.

The Phillies recalled Sanchez from Triple-A Lehigh Valley ahead of Sunday's 12-6 loss to the Nationals. He made his MLB debut out of the bullpen, covering 1.1 scoreless innings while giving up a hit and striking out two.
EDGE Analysis
Philadelphia placed long reliever Chase Anderson on the COVID-19-related injured list in a corresponding move. Sanchez entered the contest while the Phillies were already trailing by six runs, so he's seemingly being viewed as a low-leverage reliever or mop-up man while he's up with the big club.

The Phillies optioned Sanchez to their alternate training site Tuesday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sanchez will leave Philadelphia without having made an appearance after he went unused out of the bullpen in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Giants following his callup earlier that day. Left-hander Bailey Falter will take Sanchez's spot in the bullpen and on the 26-man active roster.
