Collects three hits, three RBI
Sanoja went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, a run and three RBI in a 10-7 win over the Rockies on Monday.
Analysis
Sanoja had one of the biggest hits of the game for the Marlins, clearing the bases with a three-run triple in the seventh inning to give the team a 9-5 lead. He finished a homer shy of a cycle while logging his second three-hit performance over his past three contests. Sanoja isn't typically counted on to be a run producer -- in fact, his three RBI in the win were more than he had tallied across his previous 16 games combined. Still, he's started at third base in two of the Marlins' past three contests and may be picking up momentum there, as Miami hasn't gotten much production from that position this season.

Logs three hits, two thefts in win
Sanoja went 3-for-4 with a run, an RBI and two stolen bases in a 5-1 win over the Cardinals on Saturday.
Analysis
Sanoja took advantage of just his third start over Miami's past seven games by rapping three singles from the No. 8 spot in the batting order. The speedy utility man capitalized while he was on the basepaths with a steal in each of the fourth and ninth innings. Sanoja appears to be sharing starts at third base with Graham Pauley and Leo Jimenez, though the recent demotion of Connor Norby to the minors could lead to Sanoja seeing a bit more playing time.

Loses grip on starting job
Sanoja is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in St. Louis.
Analysis
Sanoja leads the Marlins with 36 starts at third base this season, but this is his second straight game out of the lineup and his fourth absence over the last five games versus righties. Graham Pauley was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville and is getting the call at the hot corner Friday.

Out of lineup Wednesday
Sanoja is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rangers.
Analysis
It's a routine day off for Sanoja, who picked up two hits in Tuesday's win over Texas. Leo Jimenez will handle third base for the Marlins in Sanoja's stead.
