Jesús Sánchez is sitting against a right-hander Thursday for the first time since being claimed off waivers by the D-backs.

Gabriel Moreno is getting a half day off as a DH, so there’s no room for Sánchez today. Sánchez is just 2-for-15 for his new team. One imagines he’ll spend the weekend on the bench in favor of Jordan Lawlar and Ryan Waldschmidt if the D-backs are officially eliminated from contention.
