In 2011, after hitting .302 with 11 home runs and 58 RBI in 52 games for the San Jose Giants, Sánchez was promoted to the Fresno Grizzlies.[1] Sánchez was called up to the majors for the first time on July 15, 2011.[2]

He was selected to join the Giants' 2012 Opening Day roster as the backup catcher behind Buster Posey.[3] Due to their pairing during Barry Zito's rehab stint at AAA in 2011, and their continued success together at the major-league level in 2012, he had been designated as Zito's personal catcher.[4] On April 23, 2012, Sánchez hit his first career home run off of Dillon Gee.[5] On May 6, 2012, Sánchez hit a pitch-hit, walk-off single against the Milwaukee Brewers despite a five-man infield.[6] On May 21, Sánchez hit his second career homer in the top of the 14th inning, against the Brewers again, to help the Giants win 4–3.[7] In 2012, Sánchez appeared in 74 games, batting .280 with 3 home runs and 34 RBI. He was the backup catcher during the 2012 postseason, which culminated in the Giants winning the 2012 World Series.[8]

In 2013, Sánchez played in 63 games, batting .248 with 3 home runs and 19 RBI. On August 15, 2013, he hit a pinch-hit, 3-run home run off Washington Nationals closer Rafael Soriano with two outs in the top of the ninth inning. The Giants were trailing 3–1 and held on to win 4–3.[9] On April 23, 2014, Sánchez hit his first career grand slam in the top of the 11th inning against the Colorado Rockies.[10] On June 25, 2014, Sánchez was the catcher for Tim Lincecum's second no-hitter against the San Diego Padres.[11] Sánchez went on the concussion list on July 26 and suffered a second concussion while on a rehab assignment and missed the rest of the 2014 season.[12]

On July 21, 2015, Sánchez hit his second career grand slam off Dale Thayer of the San Diego Padres.[13] In early September, Sánchez strained his left hamstring and sprained his left ankle running to first base and missed the rest of the season.[14] After the season, Sánchez was not tendered a contract by the Giants and became a free agent.[15]
