Sánchez, the outfielder acquired by the Houston Astros from the Marlins at the trade deadline, went hitless in his first homestand with the club last week. While robbing two home runs in right field in Sunday's series finale against Baltimore, Sánchez also extended his hitless streak to 21 at-bats.
