Tuesday afternoon, Craig Mish broke the news that many of us had been eagerly awaiting for several weeks: the Marlins are recalling Jesús Sánchez from Triple-A Jacksonville. He’s expected to be available to play on Wednesday (expect several roster moves between now and then).
Sánchez’s 2021 offensive numbers down on the farm were spectacular. He had been leading all Marlins minor leaguers in batting average and total bases. The Dominican outfielder also racked up six assists in 29 games as a defender. His dominance earned him a Triple-A East Player of the Week award and vaulted him back onto the Baseball America and MLB Pipeline Top 100 prospect lists.
