C Hector Sanchez was in the starting lineup against the Giants and that we no surprise. Coming into Monday's game versus the Giants Sanchez was .391 (9 for 23) with four homers, two doubles and 11 RBIs in 10 games. Sanchez was hitless in three at-bats on Monday.

C Hector Sanchez continued his hitting assault on the San Francisco Giants with a double and a single in Sunday's win. He is now 9-for-23 (.391) with four homers and 11 RBIs in 13 games against his former team this season. Sanchez had one of three consecutive doubles by the Padres in the fourth inning, the first time the club has recorded that feat this season.

C Hector Sanchez homered in his career-high third consecutive game. He followed his walk-off homer Saturday with a first-inning homer Sunday. He joins Scott Hairston in 2007 as the only players in franchise history to accomplish the feat. Sanchez joins Houston's George Springer and Washington's Bryce Harper as the only players this season to follow a walk-off homer with a first-inning homer the next day.

C Hector Sanchez spent the first nine years of his professional career with the Giants, including parts of five seasons with the major league club. He beat his old teams with homers Saturday night (a two-run, ninth-inning walk-off) and Sunday (a three-run first-inning blast). Since he departed the Bay Area, Sanchez is 8-for-16 against the Giants with four homers and 11 RBIs. He has three homers against San Francisco this season -- the first of which tied a game the Padres eventually won and the last two qualifying as game-winners. Sanchez is 4-for-11 with three homers and eight RBIs against the Giants this season. Against everyone else, he is 5-for-35 with two homers and five RBIs.

C-1B Hector Sanchez hit a two-run, pinch-hit homer off Sergio Romo in the bottom of the ninth inning Friday night. It was Sanchez's third pinch-hit homer of the season. The Padres lead the majors with six pinch-hit homers this season.

C-1B Hector Sanchez hit a two-run, go-ahead, pinch-hit homer Saturday night just one day after returning from the disabled list. Since the veteran switch-hitter went on the disabled list May 7, the Padres have lacked a power hitter on the bench and no pinch hitter from the left side. Sanchez originally went on the disabled list with a left foot contusion, but then suffered a quad strain while rehabbing. His pinch-hit homer was his second this second this season to tie or take the lead.

C Hector Sanchez (bruised right foot, right quad) will have his return to the majors delayed after suffering a right quad injury during a rehab stint with Triple-A El Paso. Sanchez, who has been on the 10-day disabled list with a foot injury since May 7 (retroactive to May 6), played in three games for El Paso before hurting his right quad. The Padres are unsure when Sanchez, who is 2-for-9 at El Paso, will be ready to come back to the club. Sanchez is batting .091 with one homer and three RBIs in 18 games this season for the Padres.

C Hector Sanchez (foot) was activated from the 10-day disabled list. Sanchez sustained a contusion on his foot May 5 when he was hit by a foul ball. Sanchez is hitting .091 in 22 at-bats with the Padres this season.

C Hector Sanchez (foot) will begin full baseball activities Sunday. Sanchez sustained a contusion on his foot May 5 when he was hit by a foul ball. Manager Andy Green said Saturday that with returning to baseball activities, Sanchez should be on the fast track toward returning to the lineup. "Hector should start moving toward playing here very, very soon," Green said.

C Hector Sanchez was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a right foot contusion. Sanchez took a foul tip off his foot in Friday's loss to the Dodgers. Sanchez was replacing regular C Austin Hedges when he got hurt.

C Hector Sanchez got a rare start, his third of the season, as he filled in for Austin Hedges. Sanchez started one day after his bat injured a woman in the stands after his bat slipped from his hands. But he exited the game in the sixth inning after taking a foul tip off his foot.

C Hector Sanchez came off the bench with one out in the ninth inning to produce a game-tying pinch-hit home run -- his first longball of the year after going 1-for-14 (.071) to start the season. It was Sanchez's third career pinch-hit homer. His last came June 15, 2014 against Colorado while playing for the team he hit Sunday's against -- San Francisco.

C Hector Sanchez provided, according to Padres manager Andy Green, the key at-bat of an eight-run sixth inning Saturday night simply by drawing a walk. It came on a full count with the bases loaded in a 3-3 tie, producing the go-ahead run and setting the stage for 1B Wil Myers' eventual three-run home run that capped an eight-run uprising. The walk was just the free-swinging Sanchez's third of the season.

C Hector Sanchez was reinstated from the seven-day disabled list on Friday on the first day he was eligible after suffering a concussion when struck on the mask by a foul tip on April 6 against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. The backup to C Austin Hedges was 0-for-3 before leaving in the seventh inning against the Dodgers.

C Hector Sanchez, on the seven-day concussion disabled list since Friday, is feeling "really good," manager Andy Green said. "We're getting really positive reports and he's moving toward coming back on time. I'm probably going to be inclined to slow it down a day or two from my perspective, but as he increases activity, we'll get a good idea of how his body is responding, how his head's feeling." Sanchez hit in the batting cage Monday, and Green said Sanchez's activity would increase in the next few days.

C Hector Sanchez was placed on the seven-day disabled list with concussion symptoms. Sanchez took a foul tip off the mask inThursday's game against the Dodgers. Sanchez initially stayed in the game but Christian Bethancourt, a former catcher on the mound, could see that something wasn't right. Bethancourt signaled for trainers to check on his batterymate who has had a history of concussions.

C Hector Sanchez got his first start of the season but he didn't last nine innings. Sanchez took a foul tip off the mask in seventh inning and left with dizziness. Sanchez had replaced Austin Hedges in the lineup after Hedges had started the first three games. Sanchez was in the plans to start and it wasn't because Hedges is hitless this season.

C Hector Sanchez will get his first start of the year on Thursday afternoon. Austin Hedges, who is hitless on the season, caught the first three games. "That's almost regardless of what Hedges does," manager Andy Green said about getting Sanchez the start.
