2025 Fantasy Outlook
A 5-foot-7, 150-pound utility player who makes contact at an elite clip but doesn't do much else, Sanoja is only noteworthy because he should spend some time in the majors again after surprisingly debuting in his age-21 season. He had a 6.5 percent strikeout rate and 8.5 percent walk rate in 126 games in the minors in 2024, primarily at Triple-A, where he hit six home runs and stole 14 bases in 111 games. He had zero barrels, one walk and four strikeouts in 36 plate appearances in the majors, but his defensive versatility and strong makeup will buy him more opportunities for the rebuilding Marlins. In a best-case scenario, Sanoja would follow a similar path to teammate Otto Lopez, hitting for a high enough average to potentially play regularly while chipping in 15-20 steals, but even that middling outcome seems unrealistic in 2025.

Getting third straight start
Sanoja will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Sanoja finds himself in the lineup for the third game in a row and looks like he'll get the chance to serve as Miami's primary option at the keystone while Otto Lopez (ankle) is on the injured list. In his limited opportunities so far this season, Sanoja has slashed .290/.318/.387 across 67 plate appearances while providing one home run and one stolen base.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Opening at shortstop?
Sanoja could have a path to playing time at shortstop after the Marlins designated Tim Anderson for assignment Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Anderson worked as Miami's primary shortstop for the first half of 2024, but the veteran was let go since he had a .214/.237/.226 slash line in 65 contests. Xavier Edwards is now expected to receive a look at shortstop for the Marlins, but he's hardly guaranteed to produce after he posted a .662 OPS in his first taste of the majors last year. Sanoja is a fringe prospect but is hitting well in his first look at Triple-A this season with a .307/.378/.455 slash line through 279 plate appearances.
