No word on the reason for the move, but it’s worth noting that Sánchez also sat out Friday’s series opener. It’ll be Kyle Stowers moving over to right field with rookie Ronny Simon entering the lineup in left field.

It looks to be nothing more than just a routine night off for the 27-year-old outfielder who has played in nearly every game since returning from the injured list. Dane Myers will cover center field in his absence on Friday and will bat ninth against Athletics’ rookie right-hander Gunnar Hoglund.

Jonah Bride was designated for assignment to make room. Sánchez, out since the start of the year with an oblique strain, is back after going 3-for-10 with a double in three minor league games. He’ll get a spot in the middle of the Marlins lineup against right-handers, though he could do a fair amount of DHing with both Kyle Stowers and Griffin Conine playing well (and being better outfield defenders). Eric Wagaman, who had been picking up starts against righties as Bride was losing them, figures to spend more time on the bench again now. Sánchez is a fringe mixed-league option at the moment, but he could be more than that if he’s traded to a contender later on.
