Double-A New Hampshire placed Santos on the 60-day injured list March 19.
It's unclear what Santos' injury is. The 22-year-old righty moved from a starting role in 2023 to a relief role in 2024 due to his shaky control and durability issues. He logged a 6.00 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 31:20 K:BB in 27 innings last year at Double-A.

Blue Jays' Dahian Santos: Healthy again at Double-A
Rotowire
Santos (elbow) has struck out 16 batters while allowing two unearned runs on two hits and nine walks over 10.1 innings across his five appearances with Double-A New Hampshire since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list July 9.
Santos opened the season on High-A Vancouver's IL while recovering from an elbow injury, but he never appeared in a game for the affiliate before advancing to Double-A once he completed a five-outing rehab assignment between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A Dunedin. The 21-year-old has been making bats miss at a steady clip at Double-A, but he'll need to rein in the free passes if he's to earn high-leverage work out of the bullpen once he eventually reaches the big leagues.
