Player Outlook
Gregory Santos was designated for assignment by San Francisco last off-season, only to be acquired by the White Sox soon afterwards. Despite having minimal experience at the big-league level, the hard-throwing right-hander made Chicago's opening day bullpen. He spent the first two months working in low leverage, but his solid body of work, good control (5.9% walk rate) and excellent slider (.196 BA, 37.5% whiff rate) earned him higher-leverage opportunities as the season went on. The 24-year-old converted his first save in early July, then stepped into closing duties once Chicago unloaded their veteran relievers at the trade deadline. Santos totaled five saves before right elbow inflammation ended his season in mid-September. He was expected to open 2024 as the White Sox's primary closer but was dealt to Seattle in early February, where he likely won't have much fantasy value in a significantly better bullpen.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Could return Saturday

    Mariners manager Scott Servais said Friday that the results of Santos' MRI on his right knee "came back OK," Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. It's not as promising as hearing that the MRI came back clean, but it appears Santos will avoid a stint on the IL and could be available as soon as Saturday. Santos was removed in the eighth inning of Wednesday's game against the Angels after being called for a balk. Before exiting Wednesday, he allowed two runs on two hits while striking out one over 0.2 innings.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Solid since season debut

    Santos has allowed one earned run on two hits and a walk over 3.1 innings while recording two strikeouts in his three appearances since being activated from the 60-day injured list July 8. Santos has a delayed start to the season due to a lat strain, but the right-hander earned his first hold Sunday. He figures to primarily slot in behind closer Andres Munoz and top set-up man Ryne Stanek for now, although he has high-leverage experience after serving a stint as closer for the White Sox last season.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Comes off 60-day IL

    The Mariners activated Santos (lat) from the 60-day injured list Monday. Santos has been sidelined all season while recovering from a right lat strain. He made just two rehab appearances, striking out a pair of two scoreless frames. Santos reportedly reached 99 miles per hour on the radar gun in Saturday's outing with High-A Everett, helping to convince the Mariners that he was ready to go. The 24-year-old should eventually find himself in high-leverage situations for Seattle, but he could be eased into such spots. Santos will be making his Mariners debut when he gets into a game after being acquired via trade from the White Sox over the offseason.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Scoreless frame in rehab debut

    Santos (lat) fired a scoreless inning during Triple-A Tacoma's win over Salt Lake on Tuesday, allowing a hit and recording a strikeout. Santos' long-awaited return to game action consisted of 13 pitches, nine which he located for strikes. Per reports from Triple-A Tacoma play-by-play announcer Mike Curto relayed by MLB.com, Santos' fastball was regularly at 97-99 mph during the outing, while his slider clocked in the 87-90 mph range. Santos is slated to make at least a couple of more rehab appearances before activation is considered, and he's expected to be handled with caution once he does return to the big-league roster. "We're going to have to be very guarded on how we use him and kind of build him up," manager Scott Servais said. "It'll be an inning at a time here or there. There will be some days off in between."

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Rehab assignment pending

    Santos (lat) will start a rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports. Santos threw a live BP session Friday without a setback, paving the way for a minor-league rehab stint. Considering that he's been out since spring training, Santos should require several rehab appearances before being reinstated. It's unclear if he'll be able to return prior to the All-Star break.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Continues ramping up activity level

    Santos (lat) has continued throwing bullpens in recent days and is playing catch out to 105 feet between those sessions, MLB.com reports. Santos appears well on track to facing live hitters soon, given his cumulative level of activity recently. The right-hander remains without a timetable for return and could require a full-length rehab assignment whenever he's deemed ready to take that step since he's been sidelined since spring training.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Expected back in July

    General manager Justin Hollander said Friday that Santos (lat) will likely remain out until July, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. Santos has primarily been throwing from flat ground at the Mariners' complex in Arizona. He will now move his rehab from Arizona to Seattle, though it remains unclear how far away the 24-year-old righty is from throwing off a mound. Santos has been on the IL all season due to a strained right lat.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Throwing from 75 feet

    Santos (lat) has progressed to throwing from 75 feet and could soon up his distance to 105 feet, SeattleSports.com reports. General manager Justin Hollander noted Friday that the hope is Santos will be able to boost that distance at some point in the coming week, after which he'd progress to throwing off a mound. Hollander added the team would continue to be "somewhat conservative" with the right-hander's recovery, which eventually is expected to culminate in a lengthy rehab assignment given he missed the entirety of the Cactus League slate.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Inching toward mound work

    Santos (lat) has started a throwing program and is getting closer to beginning mound work, MLB.com reports. "I don't want to get into much more detail on timelines like that, but it has been very positive," manager Scott Servais said. Servais added that Santos is a "little bit" behind fellow sidelined reliever Matt Brash (elbow) in terms of his progress, but the Mariners' skipper seems encouraged overall by Santos' trajectory. Santos never did see Cactus League action this spring, so he'll be in line for what could be a full-length rehab assignment whenever he reaches that point in his recovery.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Shelved with lat strain

    The Mariners placed Santos (lat) on the 15-day injured list Thursday. Santos was shut down March 11 after he was diagnosed with a right lat strain. He was scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday, and if the testing reveals that the inflammation in his lat has subsided, Santos could be cleared to start at throwing program in the coming days. Whenever he's able to make his Seattle debut, the right-hander will likely deployed as a setup man in front of closer Andres Munoz.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: MRI date set

    Santos (lat) will undergo an MRI on Thursday and the results will determine the next steps in his recovery, MLB.com reports. If the inflammation in Santos' lat has subsided sufficiently, the Mariners will begin mapping out a throwing program. The right-hander still projects to be sidelined for several more weeks, as he'll need to eventually complete a rehab assignment at the minor-league level before being deemed ready for activation.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Slated for MRI

    Santos (lat) will receive an MRI within the next few days, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Santos strained his right lat during a bullpen session earlier in spring camp, and his MRI will determine if the inflammation has gone down enough for him to resume his throwing program. Santos will begin the year on the injured list, but his absence isn't expected to extend more than a month or two into the regular season.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Not yet in rehab routine

    Santos, who suffered a mild lat strain Monday, is still "waiting to get things calmed down" before officially beginning a rehab routine, MLB.com reports. The update comes directly from manager Scott Servais, who's counting on Santos to play a key seventh- and eighth-inning role this season. Santos has already been ruled out for Opening Day, however, and it's likely extra caution is taken with the restart date of his baseball activities considering he's also already dealt with a shoulder problem this spring.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Throws bullpen Friday

    Santos (lat) threw a light bullpen Friday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. It was an important benchmark for Santos as he works back from being shut down with lat soreness in mid-February.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Resuming throwing program Tuesday

    Santos (lat) will resume a throwing program Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Santos has been slowed this spring by some soreness in his right lat, which cropped up during an early bullpen session. He's made the necessary progress to be cleared to throw again and will presumably start with some flat-ground work before progressing to the mound and facing hitters. Santos has time to be ready for Opening Day but can't afford a setback.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Nursing lat injury

    Santos is dealing with soreness in his right lat/teres major area, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Santos ended last season with right elbow soreness, but now he's got a new injury which cropped up following a bullpen session this spring. It's not clear at this juncture whether the setback might be significant enough to delay his start to the season. Santos was acquired via trade from the White Sox earlier this month and, if healthy, is slated to serve as a setup man.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Behind schedule

    Santos (elbow) will be a bit behind schedule at the start of Mariners camp, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Santos ended last season with a right elbow injury and will be held back from mound work for a while this spring. Seattle felt confident enough in the reliever's health to trade for him earlier this month, so he doesn't seem to be in any danger of not being ready for Opening Day.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Traded to Seattle

    The White Sox traded Santos (elbow) to the Mariners on Saturday in exchange for Prelander Berroa, Zach DeLoach and the 69th pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. The White Sox continue their rebuild by unloading Santos, who posted a 3.39 ERA and 1.30 WHIP while striking out 66 batters in 66.1 frames and recorded five saves during his first full MLB season. Santos ended the campaign on the injured list due to right elbow inflammation and has been easing his way back to full health during the offseason. The 24-year-old righty had been in a position to operate as Chicago's closer, but Santos projects as a middle reliever in a deeper Seattle bullpen.
