Sanchez is not in the lineup Friday against the Rays.

Analysis:

Sanchez's playing time has dwindled of late, as he's now set to sit for the fourth time in six games. In 22 games with the big club this season, Sanchez has hit just .263/.268/.300 with three extra-base hits (all doubles), so manager Robin Ventura may be inclined to give Marcus Semien most of the starts over the final week of the season.
