Sanchez will serve as the backup catcher to begin the 2015 season, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Sanchez beat out Andrew Susac for the job of Buster Posey's backup, as Susac was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday. Sanchez should see more reps than most backup catchers due to Posey's ability to play first base, but considering that he hit below .200 in 2014, there isn't much fantasy value to find here outside of deeper and NL-only formats.
