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: Rehab assignment pending

    Rotowire
    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: Another live BP set

    Rotowire
    Santos (lat) is set to throw another live batting practice Friday in Seattle and could begin a rehab assignment shortly thereafter, MLB.com reports. The right-hander put together a very encouraging live BP on Saturday in Miami before that day's game against the Marlins, using his sinker/slider combo with great effectiveness and impressive velocity against Ryan Bliss and Tyler Locklear in a 10-pitch session. If Santos encounters similar success Friday, it appears he'll be ticketed for what should be a fairly lengthy rehab assignment, given he's been sidelined since spring training.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Continues ramping up activity level

    Rotowire
    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

    Rotowire
    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: Ups throwing distance

    Rotowire
    Santos (lat) recently upped his throwing distance to 120 feet, MLB.com reports. A recent shift to the 60-day IL didn't impact Santos' return timeline, as he was never expected to be able to make his season debut before late May. That timeframe appears to still remain realistic, and he's slated to continue throwing at the 120-foot distance throughout this week before upping his intensity again.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Throwing from 75 feet

    Rotowire
    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

    Rotowire
    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

    Rotowire
    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

    Rotowire
    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

    Rotowire
    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

    Rotowire
    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

    Rotowire
    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. Drayer notes the session appeared to go well, but there's not yet an indication of when the Mariners may be willing to allow Santos to test himself out in Cactus League action.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Checks out well after throwing

    Rotowire
    Mariners manager Scott Servais said Santos (lat) checked out well after playing catch Tuesday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports. According to Servais, Santos was throwing hard while playing catch, but he's still not been cleared to advance to mound work as he looks to shake off right lat soreness. Santos could get the green light to throw a bullpen session after he plays catch again later this week.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Resuming throwing program Tuesday

    Rotowire
    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

    Rotowire
    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

    Rotowire
    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

    Rotowire
    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.

  • White Sox's Gregory Santos: Crumbles in ninth inning

    Rotowire
    Santos (2-1) took the loss and blew a save against the Cubs on Wednesday, allowing three runs on two hits and one walk without retiring a batter. Santos recorded a 1.2-inning save Tuesday and looked dominant with three strikeouts without allowing a baserunner. His outing Wednesday was entirely different, as he faced three batters and gave up a double, a walk and a walk-off, three-run homer to blow the save. Despite the rough appearance, Santos probably won't lose the ninth-inning job since he had been solid prior to the misstep, collecting three saves and posting an 8:1 K:BB over 6.2 innings while giving up just one run in five prior appearances since he moved into the closer role July 28.

  • White Sox's Gregory Santos: Five-out save

    Rotowire
    Santos did not allow a baserunner across 1.2 scoreless innings while striking out three to earn the save Tuesday against the Cubs. Santos entered the game with the bases empty in the eighth frame and was dominant on the way to his third save since taking over the full-time closer role for the White Sox. He's been used to record more than three outs in three of his last six appearances, a span during which he's maintained a 2.16 ERA and 0.96 WHIP with a 9:1 K:BB across 8.1 innings.

  • White Sox's Gregory Santos: Returns from bereavement

    Rotowire
    Santos was activated from the bereavement list Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. He had been away from the club since Saturday. Santos is in the mix for saves and is perhaps even the favorite to serve as the closer in the White Sox' makeshift bullpen.
