Career
San Francisco Giants
In 2011, after hitting .302 with 11 HRs and 58 RBI in 52 games for the San Jose Giants, Sánchez was promoted to the Fresno Grizzlies.[1] Sánchez was called up to the majors for the first time on July 15, 2011.[2]
He was selected to join the Giants' 2012 Opening Day roster as the backup catcher behind Buster Posey.[3] Due to their pairing during Barry Zito's rehab stint at AAA in 2011, and their continued success together at the major-league level in 2012, he had been designated as Barry Zito's personal catcher.[4]
On April 23, 2012, Sánchez hit his first career home run off of Dillon Gee.[5]
On June 25, 2014, Sánchez was the catcher for Tim Lincecum's second no-hitter against the San Diego Padres.
Chicago White Sox
On December 14, 2015, Sánchez signed a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training with the Chicago White Sox.
