Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp News Release


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Miami Marlins right-handed pitcher Sixto Sánchez will begin his MLB rehab assignment presented by H2 Health with the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp with Saturday's 6:35 p.m. contest against the Gwinnett Stripers. The right-hander is making his first appearance in Jacksonville since 2019, when he tossed 103.0 innings for the Jumbo Shrimp that season.

The 26-year-old has made 14 appearances this season with the Marlins, which included seven starts. Sánchez has gone 0-3 with a 6.06 ERA and allowed 29 runs in 35.2 innings while striking out 17.

In Jacksonville, Sánchez has 18 starts under his belt, all coming in 2019 when the club was the Marlins' Double-A affiliate. That season, he went 8-4 with a 2.53 ERA and struck out 97 while only walking 19.

Sánchez made his major league debut during the 2020 season for the Marlins. During the COVID-shortened campaign, Sánchez went 3-2 in seven starts and pitched to an ERA of 3.46. He threw a complete game against the Philadelphia Phillies on September 13, 2020, and finished tied for seventh in NL Rookie of the Year voting.

Due to a variety of injuries, his only action on the mound from the 2021-23 seasons came at the end of the 2023 campaign, when Sánchez tossed a scoreless inning with two strikeouts for Double-A Pensacola.

Sánchez is the 18th Marlin to rehab with Jacksonville in 2024.
