Sixto Sanchez

Sixto Sanchez allowed no earned runs over 4.2 innings against the Tigers on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

He gave up five hits, walked two, and struck out two in a game the Marlins ultimately lost 6-5. Despite this performance hinting at potential, Sanchez's season-long numbers, including a 5.96 ERA and a 1.63 WHIP, continue to cast a shadow over his fantasy relevance. While this outing was a step in the right direction, consistent improvements are needed before he can be considered a reliable fantasy option.

Sixto Sanchez allowed two runs on three hits over four innings on Sunday against the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact

Sanchez added two strikeouts and three walks. He remains off the fantasy radar.

Sixto Sanchez allowed three earned runs on five hits and a walk while striking out three over 2.2 innings in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Braves.

Fantasy Impact

This outing did little to reassure fantasy managers about Sanchez's reliability, as his ERA climbed further to an unsettling 7.20 for the season. His WHIP also remains high at 1.70, and with a low strikeout rate of 5.4 K/9, his ability to contribute positively in fantasy formats is becoming increasingly questionable.

Marlins pitcher Sixto Sanchez has made the team's Opening Day roster.

Fantasy Impact

Sanchez was out of minor-league options, meaning the club would have likely lost him had they not kept him on the Opening Day roster. He hasn't been on a big-league mound since the 2020 playoffs but has tossed seven innings of scoreless ball this spring.

Sixto Sanchez has been optioned to Triple-A along with Xavier Edwards and George Soriano.

Fantasy Impact

Sanchez is still making his way back from shoulder surgery and will not be ready for the start of the season. If all goes well, he could find himself in the Marlins rotation at some point this season, but there are still many question marks for the 24-year-old who hasn't pitched since 2020.
