Jesus Sanchez, Joey Wendle Sitting Out Wednesday
1 year agoMiami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez and infielder Joey Wendle are both sitting out on Wednesday against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals and left-hander Matthew Liberatore. Jorge Soler is starting in right field and batting second, while Jon Berti will handle shortstop and hit ninth in the batting order against Liberatore. Sanchez is hitting .294 against lefties in 2023, but it's come in a small sample size of only 17 at-bats. He's currently riding a modest five-game hitting streak that has seen him go 7-for-18 (.389) with two homers and eight RBI. Wendle, who also hits from the left side of the plate, is hitting .455 against southpaws, but in only 11 at-bats in 2023. He's gone 11-for-31 (.355) with no homers or RBI in his last eight games played.
