Angel Sanchez said Thursday that his back has felt "way better than a couple of days ago."

Angel Sanchez - 2B - White Sox

White Sox placed INF Angel Sanchez on the 15-day disabled list with a lower back strain.

It's not clear at this point how long Sanchez will be out. Tyler Greene has taken the Rule 5 pick's roster spot.

Apr 14 - 9:56 AM

Angel Sanchez - 2B - White Sox

White Sox selected INF Angel Sanchez from the Angels with the 17th pick in Thursday's Rule 5 Draft.

Sanchez had a decent .320/.390/.407 slash line in 107 games this summer at Triple-A Oklahoma City. He could crack Chicago's Opening Day roster as a backup infielder.

Angel Sanchez - 2B - White Sox

Angels signed INF Angel Sanchez to a minor league contract.

The deal includes an invite to spring training. Sanchez, 29, hit .320 in 107 games with the Astros' Triple-A affiliate last season. He hasn't appeared in the majors since 2010 as a member of the Red Sox.

Angel Sanchez - 2B - White Sox

Angel Sanchez (back) had been scheduled to make his spring debut Sunday before the game was rained out.

Sanchez has been dealing with a tight back this spring after slipping and falling while taking his mother's luggage down a flight of stairs in early-February. The Astros' Opening Day shortstop last season, he's hoping to win a bench spot as a utilityman for 2012.

Angel Sanchez - 2B - White Sox

Angel Sanchez (back) will not make his spring debut Thursday as previously hoped.

Sanchez has been dealing with a tight back this spring after slipping and falling while taking his mother's luggage down a flight of stairs in early-February. The 28-year-old infield took took batting practice off coaches on Tuesday and tracked pitches against minor leaguers, but he's apparently not close to game-ready.

Angel Sanchez - 2B - White Sox

Angel Sanchez (back) fielded ground balls and took swings off a tee Wednesday.

Sanchez is being brought along slowly this spring after injuring his back while taking his mother's luggage down a flight of stairs in early-February. "It felt way better than [Tuesday], so it's improving," said Sanchez. The 28-year-old infielder is a non-roster player this spring after batting just .240/.305/.285 with one home run and 28 RBI in 110 games last season at the major league level.

Angel Sanchez - 2B - White Sox

Angels sent INF Angel Sanchez outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Sanchez successfully cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last week. The 28-year-old shortstop batted just .240/.305/.285 with one home run and 28 RBI in 110 games last season at the major league level. He will be in Astros' camp as a non-roster player.

Angel Sanchez - 2B - White Sox

Astros designated INF Angel Sanchez for assignment.

The 28-year-old shortstop batted just .240/.305/.285 with one home run and 28 RBI in 110 games last season at the major league level. With the Astros adding shortstop Jed Lowrie over the offseason, Sanchez was unlikely to see nearly as much playing time in 2012.

Angel Sanchez - 2B - White Sox

Angel Sanchez has just four hits in his last 24 at-bats.

We could see this coming. Sanchez got off to a red-hot start, but the journeyman simply didn't have the skills to sustain it. He's also had trouble getting into the lineup since Clint Barmes returned from the DL, and he'll have even more problems once Jeff Keppinger comes back.

Thu, May 12, 2011 01:16:00 PM

Angel Sanchez - 2B - White Sox

Angel Sanchez went 4-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 11-2 victory over the Cubs.

It's time to start paying attention to this formerly light-hitting infielder. In relief of the injured Clint Barmes, Sanchez is now batting .395/.438/.512 while knocking in eight runs. He definitely needs to be owned in NL-only leagues until Barmes returns.

Tue, Apr 12, 2011 11:11:00 PM

Angel Sanchez - 2B - White Sox

Angel Sanchez went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Phillies.

The light-hitting infielder wrapped a pair of singles off Roy Halladay, which qualifies as a career highlight for him. Sanchez will get the most playing time at shortstop until Clint Barmes returns from injury, but he shouldn't be on your fantasy radar.

Fri, Apr 1, 2011 04:01:00 PM

Angel Sanchez - 2B - White Sox

Angel Sanchez and Oswaldo Navarro, who are vying to replace Clint Barmes at shortstop for the Astros, both went hitless Saturday against the Nationals.

Sanchez was a surprisingly solid fill-in for the Astros last season and likely has the advantage in the competition, but he's hitting just .216 with one extra-base hit in 37 at-bats this spring. Fortunately for him, Navarro is at .156 in 32 at-bats. Tommy Manzella may also be an option for Houston, even though he was optioned out of major league camp before Barmes got hurt.

Sat, Mar 26, 2011 03:51:00 PM

Angel Sanchez - 2B - White Sox

Angel Sanchez (back) is expected to return to game action Wednesday against the Pirates.

Sanchez has been sidelined for a few days with an upper back strain. He was cleared to return to baseball activities Monday and isn't far away from returning to the lineup. The 27-year-old infielder is batting .250 (7-for-28) with a double and one RBI this spring.

	3	John Danks D.L. John Danks (shoulder) could rejoin the White Sox' rotation next weekend. Danks will make what could be his final rehab start with Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday. The left-hander holds a 3.00 ERA over three rehab outings, but he has a 10/9 K/BB ratio over 18 innings and his velocity remains down. Fantasy owners should take a wait-and-see approach, though he would get a nice first matchup against the Marlins if he returns next weekend. May 17
	4	Gavin Floyd D.L. Gavin Floyd underwent successful surgery Wednesday to repair the ulnar collateral ligament and flexor muscle in his right elbow. The surgeon told the White Sox that the operation "could not have gone better." However, since he needed two major areas operated on, the recovery is expected to be 14-19 months rather than the standard 12 months for Tommy John surgery. With that timetable, Floyd probably shouldn't be counted on for a whole lot in 2014. He'll be a free agent over the winter. May 8
