Sanchez (1-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Reds, allowing five runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks over three innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez struggled with command Tuesday, but the Phillies defense certainly didn't do him any favors, committing three errors behind the left-hander in the eventual 8-1 loss. It's a disappointing effort from Sanchez after he was dominant in his last outing versus Colorado, allowing one run while striking out 10 in a win. He now sports a 2.96 ERA with a 1.48 WHIP and 28:11 K:BB through five outings (24.1 innings) this season. Sanchez is currently slated for a road matchup with the Angles on Monday in his next start.

Sanchez (1-2) earned the win Wednesday, allowing one unearned run on five hits and one walk with 10 strikeouts over six innings against Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez was incredible Wednesday, tying his career high in strikeouts without being responsible for a run. Although Brenton Doyle did cross the plate in the first inning, Doyle reached base on an error by Alec Bohm, excusing Sanchez of an earned run. Sanchez has delivered back-to-back quality starts and owns a 10.5 K/9 -- a career high as it stands -- across four starts. He's tentatively scheduled for a matchup with the Reds at Great American Ball Park on Apr. 24.

Sanchez (0-2) took the loss Friday against Pittsburgh, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out six batters across six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez put together a quality start against the Pirates and got back to recording strikeouts at a rate similar to what fantasy managers are used to from the 27-year-old, but a lack of run support from his offense will cause him to take his second loss of the season. The lefty now owns a 3.52 ERA and 1.43 WHIP through 15.1 innings over three starts and is in line to start again at home Wednesday against the Rockies.

Sanches (0-1) took the loss Sunday versus Washington, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks across 4.1 innings. He struck out one batter.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez's strikeout production took a 180 on Sunday, going from eight K's over five innings in his 2024 debut to just a single punchout. While the thought of Sanchez becoming a plus-strikeout pitcher was nice for fantasy managers who've invested in him, Sanchez has a career K/9 of 8.7 in 42 big-league appearances (23 starts) and will likely settle in near that number this season. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Pirates for his next start.

Sanchez did not factor into the decision Monday against the Reds, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez blew away the Reds on Monday with an electric three-pitch mix of fastballs, changeups and sliders to gather eight strikeouts. The Phillies lefty showed increased average velocity on both his fastball (94.3-mph, up from 92.1-mph in 2023) and changeup (84.5-mph, up from 81.8-mph in 2023) over his 85-pitch outing. He managed to toss a clean five innings before being lifted in the sixth after allowing a walk and double. Sanchez is tentatively slated to face the Nationals on the road in his next start.

Sanchez is listed as the Phillies' probable starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Reds in Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez was never in any real danger of missing out on a spot in the Phillies' Opening Day rotation, though his fantasy managers may want to tread carefully with him even as he heads into a likely two-start week, with his second turn set to come Sunday in Washington. The lefty was hit hard over his three Grapefruit League starts, giving up seven earned runs on 15 hits and three walks while striking out five over 7.1 innings.

Sanchez is introducing a cutter to his repertoire this spring, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez debuted back in 2021 but got his first extended run in the rotation in 2023, finishing with a 3.44 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 18 starts and one relief appearance. Backing up those marks was a strong set of peripherals, as his strikeout rate (24.2 percent), walk rate (4.0 percent) and groundball rate (57.0 percent) all beat league average by a wide margin in the latter two cases. He lines up as the Phillies' fifth starter (barring a potential late free-agent addition) and will look to maintain or improve on those numbers of a full-season workload. Given that he threw only three pitches (sinker, changeup and slider) last season, the addition of a fourth weapon could help him do just that, particularly as it could make the Phillies more comfortable asking him to go deeper into games.

Sanchez will start Game 4 of the NLCS on Friday against the Diamondbacks, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taijuan Walker was the presumed starter for Game 4, but Sanchez will instead get the ball in a pivotal matchup. Sanchez pitched well during the regular season, maintaining a 3.44 ERA with a 20.2 K-BB% across 99.1 innings. He has yet to appear in a postseason contest during his career.

Sanchez (3-5) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk over seven innings Sunday, striking out 10 and earning a win over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Sanchez kept the Mets off the board until Ronny Mauricio belted a two-run shot in the sixth inning. Sanchez forced 20 whiffs for the second time this month; prior to racking up 21 swinging strikes against Atlanta on Sept. 13, his season high was just 12. He's been shaky since the start of August, posting a 4.24 ERA in nine starts, but he's recorded a strong 54:8 K:BB during that stretch. Sanchez will carry a 3.48 ERA into his next start, which is currently lined up to be on the road against the Mets.

Sanchez (2-5) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk over four innings against Atlanta. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

It was another rough outing for Sanchez, who's now allowed seven runs on 15 hits in his last two outings (11.1 innings), both against Atlanta. Overall, the 26-year-old southpaw sports a 3.55 ERA with a 1.09 WHIP and 85:15 K:BB across 17 starts (91.1 innings) this season. Sanchez is currently slated for a home matchup with the Mets in his next outing, though he could be set up for another "tandem start" with Michael Lorenzen.
