Sanchez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a hit-by-pitch in Thursday's 6-4 loss to Toronto.
The catcher tried to spark a ninth-inning rally with his long ball, and Luke Voit followed up with a pinch-hit blast, but the comeback effort fell short. Sanchez has clubbed three homers in six games in September, but he has just one other hit in that span. He's slashing .213/.315/.446 with 21 homers, 50 RBI, 50 runs scored and 13 doubles across 384 plate appearances.
