Gary Sanchez Getting A Breather Against O's
1 year agoSan Diego Padres catcher Gary Sanchez will take a seat on Monday for the start of a series against the visiting Baltimore Orioles. Luis Campusano will do the catching for right-hander Yu Darvish while batting seventh against Orioles rookie right-hander Grayson Rodriguez. Sanchez hasn't been playing as regularly behind the dish with Campusano around, but he continues to be relevant in single-catcher leagues after coming over to San Diego. The 30-year-old Dominican backstop is hitting just .215 (41-for-191) with an on-base percentage under .300, but he's clubbed 15 home runs and driven in 36 in his 56 games for the Friars. Sanchez has hit .246 (17-for-69) with eight long balls, three doubles, 16 RBI and 11 runs scored in 20 games (19 starts) since the All-Star break.
