Gary Sanchez Taking A Seat Monday
1 year agoSan Diego Padres catcher Gary Sanchez is on the bench for Monday's series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Quinn Priester. Sanchez has cooled off after a red-hot start to his Padres tenure but has still offered up power with nine homers and a .214 isolated power across 46 games on the season. The former Yankee is hitting just .193 but it appears there is some poor batted-ball luck involved with a .190 batting average on balls in play despite a solid 41.3% hard-hit rate on the season. Luis Campusano will handle the catching duties on Monday, hitting seventh against Priester in San Diego.
