Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez has won the team's starting center field job to open the 2022 season. The Marlins had been looking into potential trades for Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds and Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano, but they ultimately have decided to give the job to Sanchez, who has hit .250 (5-for-20) with two RBI in eight Grapefruit League games this spring. In his second major league season for the Fish last year, the 24-year-old slashed .251/.319/.489 with 14 home runs, 36 RBI and 27 runs scored in 251 plate appearances over 64 games played. He'll strictly be a target for outfield depth in NL-only leagues.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez (hamstring) exited Thursday's game against the New York Mets with right hamstring tightness. He went 1-for-2 before being removed in the bottom of the third inning during Thursday's game. The severity of Sanchez's injury is unknown at this time, and he's considered day-to-day. Bryan De La Cruz replaced him in the lineup and would see an uptick in at-bats while Sanchez is sidelined. His next chance to return will be Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 23-year-old rookie is slashing .249/.317/.489 with 14 home runs, 36 RBI, 27 runs scored, and 20 walks over 249 plate appearances in 2021. Stay tuned for further updates.
