Sanchez was claimed three weeks ago from the Pittsburgh Pirates off waivers to compete for a backup catching job. However, now that the D-Backs have acquired top prospect Gabriel Moreno from the Toronto Blue Jays, they have no need for him.

The twenty-five-year-old spent the entire past season in the minor leagues, registering a .262/.354/.743 slash line, with six home runs, 33 RBIs, two stolen bases and 38 runs scored across 252 at-bats.

Sanchez will now hit the waiver wire and look for an opportunity with another team.
