Diamondbacks' Jesus Sanchez: Exiting starting lineup
Sanchez is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Colorado.
Sanchez started each of the last six games against right-handed pitching, but he'll begin Thursday's festivities on the bench as the Rockies send righty Tanner Gordon to the bump. Gabriel Moreno will get a day at designated hitter, and James McCann will do the catching for the Diamondbacks.

Diamondbacks' Jesus Sanchez: Claimed by Diamondbacks
The Diamondbacks claimed Sanchez off waivers from the Blue Jays on Monday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
The Diamondbacks will take on the $6.8 million remaining of Sanchez's 2026 salary, and they'll retain his rights for 2027 as well, though he is a likely non-tender candidate. Sanchez has slashed .260/.318/.416 with eight home runs over 99 contests this season and will provide manager Torey Lovullo with another option in left field and at designated hitter.

Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Loses spot on 40-man roster
The Blue Jays designated Sanchez for assignment Friday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
Sanchez was slashing .287/.324/.461 at the end of May, but he's managed just a .216/.308/.343 line since then while making a number of defensive gaffes, and he had started only three of the past 11 contests. His spot on the roster has been filled by Rudy Martin. With a $6.8 million salary, Sanchez is likely to clear waivers.
