Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sanchez had all the ingredients of a perfect sleeper heading into last season, having produced good numbers (3.44 ERA, 1.05 WHIP) backed by strong peripherals (24.2 K%, 4.0 BB%, 57.0 GB%) in 2023 but over a small enough sample (99.1 IP) that your leaguemates might have missed it. The sleeper buzz proved accurate, as he locked down a rotation spot all year and produced a 3.32 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over 31 starts. His strikeout rate did fall from a bit above average to a bit below (20.3%), but he remained strong in walk rate (5.8%) and groundball rate (57.4%). That groundball rate in particular was an elite mark, trailing only fellow lefties Framber Valdez and Max Fried among qualified starters. Those two provide evidence that a profile like this one, with elite contact management and good control making up for merely average bat-missing ability, can find success long-term.

Signed a four-year, $21.5 million contract extension with the Phillies in June of 2024. Contract includes $14 million team option ($1 million buyout) for 2029 and $15 million team option ($1 million buyout) for 2030.
Strong showing in loss
Sanchez allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out five across 6.1 innings in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Dodgers on Thursday. He did not factor into the decision.
Analysis
Sanchez was in a compelling pitcher's duel with Tyler Glasnow, with his only run coming on an inherited runner after he exited the game. While Sanchez didn't overpower the Dodgers' lineup, he induced 10 groundouts to go along with 14 swinging strikes on 95 total pitches. Despite it coming in a losing effort, Sanchez wrapped up an excellent 2025 season and is very likely to be a Cy Young finalist in the coming weeks.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Sanchez missed the last half of spring training with soreness in his left triceps. He came off the IL in late April to make a start in a doubleheader, then was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Sanchez wasn't pitching well, but the Phillies needed rotation help, so they recalled Sanchez in mid-June. Something clicked as the right-handers went on to start 17 more games, with one relief appearance. His 3.44 ERA was fully supported by its estimators, though Sanchez benefited from a .272 BABIP, which is low for a pitcher with a 57 percent ground ball rate. His four percent walk rate was much lower than previous seasons, while his 24.2 strikeout clip matched his minor league track record. Sanchez isn't assured of a spot in the opening day rotation, but he merits a long look in the spring. He'll be hard-pressed to match his 1.05 WHIP as his BABIP is likely to increase as well as giving back some of the control gains exhibited lasts season. Sanchez's three-pitch mix, featuring a 92-mph sinker, changeup and slider doesn't portend a front-end starter, but Sanchez could be a reliable back-end fantasy guy, shielded from the most potent lineups.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Lining up for Game 2?
The Phillies could turn to Sanchez to start Game 2 of their opening playoff series given his drastic home/road splits this season, per Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Analysis
Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola remain the top pitchers of the staff, but Sanchez's 2.05 ERA in 16 home starts this season versus 5.02 on the road could prompt Philadelphia to prioritize a home start for him. The Phillies have already clinched the NL East crown but have yet to secure a bye for the wild-card round, though they lead the Brewers by 2.5 games. Sanchez has been especially dominant in his past six starts regardless of the venue, as he has a 2.17 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 45:9 K:BB in his past seven outings, three of which have been on the road.
