Sanchez was recalled by the Phillies on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez earns his first career call-up as the Phillies seek to replace a trio of players who landed on the COVID-19 injured list. He's made just a single appearance at the Triple-A level. He has a starter's build (6-foot-5) and four-pitch repertoire, but none of his secondary pitches are particularly promising and his command has been unreliable, so he'll likely wind up in the bullpen long-term if he's able to carve out a big-league role.

The Phillies optioned Sanchez to their minor-league camp Tuesday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old lefty has made only one career appearance above the High-A level, so he wasn't a legitimate candidate to claim a spot on the Phillies' Opening Day roster. Sanchez is expected to begin the season as a member of the rotation at Triple-A Lehigh Valley or Double-A Reading.

Sanchez was added to Philadelphia's 60-man player pool Thursday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez, who was acquired from the Rays in an offseason trade, will report to the team's alternate camp site. The hard-throwing lefty will likely be developed as a starter, though he could move quickly if he is transitioned to the bullpen.

Sanchez was optioned to Double-A Reading on Saturday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A hard-throwing southpaw, Sanchez was acquired from the Rays in an offseason trade that sent Curtis Mead to Tampa Bay. Sanchez will be developed as a starter for now, but he could move quickly if he is transitioned to the bullpen.
