Sanoja is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Sanoja had made eight consecutive starts while moving between three different spots (second base, third base and left field) from Sept. 11 through this past Thursday, but he now finds himself on the bench for the third contest in a row. With Miami recently returning Connor Norby, Graham Pauley and Dane Myers from the injured list, Sanoja could be relegated to a short-side platoon role heading into the final week of the season.

Sanoja has been added to Miami's lineup against Detroit as the No. 9 hitter and third baseman Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Sanoja was originally slated to begin on the bench, but he's been called upon to start after Xavier Edwards was scratched due to right wrist discomfort. With Sanoja entering the lineup at the hot corner, Maximo Acosta is sliding over to second base.

Sanoja is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Sanoja will hit the bench for the second time in the series and may have settled into more of a timeshare at third base with Maximo Acosta, who will replace him in the lineup Wednesday. Both Sanoja and Acosta are likely to see their opportunities to play at third base diminish once Connor Norby (wrist) completes his minor-league rehab assignment and is activated from the 10-day injured list.

Sanoja is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Maximo Acosta will get the nod at third base Monday in place of Sanoja, who went 6-for-15 with a home run, a double, a walk, a stolen base, four RBI and three runs while starting in each of the previous four games. Until Miami gets one of Connor Norby (wrist) or Graham Pauley (oblique) back from the injured list, Sanoja looks primed to serve as the Marlins' top option at the hot corner.

Sanoja went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored, three RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old utility player kept the Marlins in the game nearly single-handedly with RBI singles in the ninth and 11th innings, in the process becoming the first player in franchise history to have multiple game-tying hits in the ninth inning or later in the same game. Sanoja has started five of the last six games at third base with Graham Pauley (oblique) and Connor Norby (wrist) both on the shelf, going 6-for-21 (.286) with a double, a homer, a steal, two runs and four RBI.

Sanoja will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old will occupy the hot corner for the third time in four games and appears to have settled in as the Marlins' preferred option at the position with Graham Pauley (oblique) on the injured list. Sanoja may move back into a utility role before long, however, as Connor Norby (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday and could be ready to return from the IL next week.

Sanoja went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old utility player began the night on the bench, but Sanoja wound up supplying the Marlins with their first run when he pinch hit for Jakob Marsee in the seventh inning and took Bryan King deep. It was Sanoja's fourth homer of the season, and three of them have come in his last two games. Over 10 contests since the All-Star break, he's batting .385 (10-for-26) with six of his hits going for extra bases, a surge that could earn him more playing time all over the diamond -- he's made at least one appearance at every position except catcher and right field in 2025.

Sanoja went 3-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 13-12 win over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

It was just the second instance of the year where Sanoja amassed multiple RBI, and Friday marked his second three-hit attack of the campaign. The utility man has been highly effective in a part-time role lately and could be pushing for more action at third base in the absence of Connor Norby (wrist) -- Sanoja is batting .345 with three doubles, one triple and six RBI over his last 29 at-bats (11 games).

Sanoja went 1-for-2 with an RBI triple during Tuesday's 4-3 win over San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old entered the contest in the sixth inning at third base for Graham Pauley and logged a pair of at-bats. Sanoja gave the Marlins a much-needed insurance run in the bottom of the eighth inning with an RBI triple that plated Heriberto Hernandez. Since June 27, Sanoja is 7-for-27 (.259) with a double, two triples, six runs scored and four RBI.

Sanoja is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Sanoja will retreat to the bench after starting in four of the past five games and three different positions. The rookie doesn't have a direct path to a spot in the everyday lineup at the moment, but he should play regularly against left-handed pitching, and his ability to play all over the infield and outfield will allow him to make occasional starts versus righties, too.
