"The Angels brought back infielder Yolmer Sánchez on a minor league contract, according to the MLB.com transaction log. It's unclear if he'll get another invite to big league camp after appearing last spring as a non-roster invitee. Sánchez is trying to get back to the big leagues for the first time since 2022. The switch-hitting infielder played seven seasons with the White Sox between 2014-20. He won a Gold Glove at second base in 2019."
"The 33-year-old spent the entire 2025 season with the Halos' top affiliate in Salt Lake. He hit .246/.357/.329 with just four home runs through 492 trips to the plate. It's a light bat, but the Angels clearly appreciate the defensive versatility that Sánchez brings as a veteran depth piece. He played all throughout the infield and made a few starts in both corner outfield positions."
The Angels signed infielder Yolmer Sánchez to a minor league contract, with his potential big-league camp status unclear after a prior non-roster invite. Sánchez aims to return to the majors for the first time since 2022. He spent seven seasons with the White Sox (2014–20), won a Gold Glove at second base in 2019, and hit .245/.300/.360 in nearly 2,500 plate appearances for Chicago. Sánchez has spent most of the past five years in Triple-A and briefly reached the majors in 2022 with the Red Sox and Mets. He played the 2025 season in Salt Lake, hit .246/.357/.329 with four home runs in 492 plate appearances, and demonstrated defensive versatility across the infield and some corner outfield starts. The Angels have projected options at second and third base from recent acquisitions and prospects, and adding an established utility veteran would raise the positional floor.
