The Marlins placed Sanchez on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a left oblique strain.
ANALYSIS Sanchez suffered the injury in mid-March. Per Christina De Nicola of MLB.com, Sanchez recently began a hitting progression, but it's not clear if he'll be ready to come off the IL when first eligible April 4. With Sanchez on the shelf, the Marlins will deploy Kyle Stowers and Griffin Conine as their starting corner outfielders in Thursday's season opener versus the Pirates.
