Player Outlook
Carlos Santana was able to reverse a downward career trend last year in what was his age-37 season. After putting up three straight seasons with a sub-.700 OPS, he upped that number to .741 in 2023 while collecting his highest home run (23), RBI (86) and runs (78) totals in four seasons. Santana's .240 average was easily his best in four seasons, as the veteran switch-hitter no doubt benefitted from the shift restrictions. He even took advantage of the new rules in stealing six bases (his highest total in eight seasons) without being caught. Santana still has his plate discipline skills, remains a very good defender at first base and has been extremely durable throughout his career, so he should have a shot at finding regular at-bats again in 2024.

  • Twins' Carlos Santana: Belts homer No. 20

    Rotowire
    Santana went 1-for-3 with two walks and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 9-4 loss to the Rays. The veteran first baseman took Tyler Alexander deep in the seventh inning, giving Santana homers in back-to-back games. He's up to 20 long balls on the year, the ninth time in his career he's reached that mark, but as per usual he isn't doing much for fantasy GMs in batting average -- over 30 contests since the beginning of August, Santana's slashing .206/.322/.423.

  • Twins' Carlos Santana: Another day off Monday

    Rotowire
    Santana is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Tampa Bay. Santana was also out of the lineup for Sunday's win over the Blue Jays, although he received a couple plate appearances off the bench. The veteran switch hitter has gone 5-for-29 at the plate over his last nine contests, and the slump might be starting to cost him some playing time. Jose Miranda will pick up a second straight start at first base.

    Rotowire
    Santana is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, LaVelle E. Neal III of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Jose Miranda will take over at first base and bat second in the series finale versus Toronto.

  • Twins' Carlos Santana: Slugs homer in loss

    Rotowire
    Santana went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Rangers. Santana has gone just 3-for-16 over his last five games, but all three of those hits have been homers. He tied the game at 5-5 in the ninth inning Sunday, though the Twins would fall in the 10th. Santana is up to a .241/.330/.432 slash line with 18 homers, 55 RBI, 48 runs scored, 22 doubles and four stolen bases through 115 contests in a near-everyday role this year.

  • Twins' Carlos Santana: Swipes bag, drives in winning run

    Rotowire
    Santana went 0-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Rangers. Santana walked in his third trip to the plate before swiping second base, giving him his fourth stolen base of the season. The first baseman then came through in the clutch, driving home Matt Wallner with a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning to put Minnesota on top. Santana has struggled at the dish in August, batting just .195 (8-for-41) with two homers, three RBI and eight runs scored. However, he's driven in a run in back-to-back games and has scored at least one run in three of his last four.

  • Twins' Carlos Santana: Getting afternoon off

    Rotowire
    Santana is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox. Jose Miranda will get the starting nod at first base while Santana takes a seat for the first time since July 8. Santana went hitless in the first two games of the series, but he owns a respectable .734 OPS over his 13 starts since the All-Star break.

  • Twins' Carlos Santana: Launches 14th homer

    Rotowire
    Santana went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 8-4 extra-innings loss to the Brewers. Santana hit just .133 over his first nine games in July, but he's gone deep twice over his last three contests while going 3-for-9 in that span. The first baseman is up to a .244/.327/.434 slash line with 14 homers, 43 RBI, 36 runs scored, two stolen bases and 17 doubles through 90 games. Santana's always been fairly disciplined at the plate, but he's getting by on a 9.7 percent walk rate this year, the lowest of his career.

  • Twins' Carlos Santana: Delivers go-ahead blast

    Rotowire
    Santana went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Giants. Santana ended June hot, but this was his first multi-hit effort over 10 games in July. The first baseman is 6-for-32 (.188) with three extra-base hits this month. Despite the slump, he's maintained a decent .247/.328/.431 slash line for the year while adding 13 homers, 41 RBI, 35 runs scored, 17 doubles and two stolen bases across 88 contests.

  • Twins' Carlos Santana: Receiving Thursday off

    Rotowire

  • Twins' Carlos Santana: Three hits in win

    Rotowire
    Santana went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's win over the Mariners. Santana reached base in three of his first four trips to the plate, starting with a leadoff double in the top of the fourth. It was the veteran first baseman's fourth three-hit performance this month and the fourth multi-hit effort in his last six games. Over that latter stretch he's batting .400 (10-for-25) with three doubles, one RBI and four runs scored.

  • Twins' Carlos Santana: Continues piping hot June

    Rotowire
    Santana went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, double and an additional run scored Thursday against the Rays. Santana extended his modest hit streak to six games and posted his second three-hit game of the season while blasting his 12th home run Thursday. The 38-year-old has found the fountain of youth in June, going 20-for-55 (.364) with four homers, five doubles, 15 RBI, 10 runs and a couple of steals through 16 games this month.

  • Twins' Carlos Santana: Homer, steal in day game

    Rotowire
    Santana went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a stolen base in a 6-2 win over the Athletics in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader. Santana also went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run scored in the nightcap. The first baseman is batting .326 (15-for-46) with three homers and two steals over 13 contests in June, a stretch that's helped him claim a starting role at first base since Alex Kirilloff was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul. Santana is at a .235/.316/.425 slash line with 11 homers, 36 RBI, 26 runs scored and two steals through 66 games this season.

  • Twins' Carlos Santana: Playing time trending back up

    Rotowire
    Santana went 1-for-5 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 11-5 extra-inning win over the Pirates. With Royce Lewis getting Sunday's game off following his recent return from the injured list, the Twins were able to open up a prominent spot in the lineup for Santana, who occupied the leadoff spot after hitting higher than fifth in the order on just one other occasion this season. Santana had a quiet afternoon until he delivered a two-run double as part of the Twins' seven-run outburst in the top of the 10th to salt away the win. The 38-year-old is slashing .294/.385/.529 over his last 10 games, and after he looked to have moved into more of a part-time role toward the end of May following an underwhelming start to the season, he now appears to be pushing the struggling Alex Kirilloff for primary duties at first base.

  • Twins' Carlos Santana: Ends perfect-game bid with homer

    Rotowire
    Santana went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Yankees on Wednesday. Santana's sixth-inning solo shot was a faint murmur of protest with New York up big, but it did put an end to opposing starter Carlos Rodon's run of retiring 16-straight batters. The long ball was just the second for the veteran slugger since he homered in three straight contests May 10-12. Santana has nine home runs overall on the campaign and is slashing .217/.302/.392 with 24 RBI, 19 runs and a stolen base.

  • Twins' Carlos Santana: Sitting against another righty

    Rotowire
    Santana is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals. Santana will hit the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Alec Marsh) for the third time in five games. The downturn in opportunities comes while Santana has fallen into a 5-for-33 skid at the plate (.152 average) over his last 10 starts, bringing his slash line down to .201/.282/.361 over 188 plate appearances on the season. The Minnesota infield will become more crowded when Royce Lewis (quadricep) returns from the 10-day injured list, potentially as soon as later this week, so Santana could be on the way out of the everyday lineup, if he hasn't lost his spot already.

  • Twins' Carlos Santana: Taking seat Friday

    Rotowire
    Santana is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Texas. Santana will sit for the third time in the month of May. Alex Kirilloff will move to first base and bat sixth in place of Santana.

  • Twins' Carlos Santana: Resting Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Santana is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals. Santana will take a seat for the series finale in Washington, ending a stretch of 12 consecutive starts during which he's run hot at the plate with a .283/.298/.522 slash line. Alex Kirilloff will fill in for Santana at first base.

  • Twins' Carlos Santana: Stays hot Sunday

    Rotowire
    Santana went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jays. Santana took Toronto's starter Alek Manoah deep for a three-run shot in the top of the seventh inning, breaking a 0-0 tie. The homer was his seventh of the season, and he has now gone deep in three consecutive contests. Since May 5, Santana has gone 9-for-23 with three home runs, eight RBI and five runs scored over eight games.
