Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Blue Jays in June of 2025. Waived by the Blue Jays in August of 2025. Claimed off waivers by the Red Sox in August of 2025.
Loses 40-man roster spot
The Red Sox designated Sanchez for assignment Monday.
Analysis
Sanchez will give up his spot on the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster to first baseman Nathaniel Lowe, who signed a one-year contract with the team. Sanchez had been serving as Boston's third catcher while Carlos Narvaez dealt with a nagging knee issue, but he's received just one plate appearance during his week-and-a-half stint with the club.

Stat Review
How does Ali Sanchez compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank.

Sanchez is with the Blue Jays as a member of the taxi squad for Sunday's game against the Tigers, reports Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca.
Analysis
Starting catcher Alejandro Kirk is being evaluated for a concussion, so Toronto is bringing up some potential catching depth in case an IL stint is needed. Sanchez was briefly up with the Blue Jays earlier this season and went 2-for-11 with a double in five games. He would serve as the backup to Tyler Heineman should Kirk miss any time.
