  • 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: Out for opener with lat strain

    Santos will not be ready for Opening Day after an MRI revealed a mild right lat strain, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

    Santos had been slated for a bullpen session Monday, but that was scratched after he felt a pinch in his lat area. Testing has revealed a minor strain, and he will presumably be shut down from throwing for a while. Santos is slated to serve in a setup role once he's healthy, but he now joins Matt Brash (elbow) on the shelf for the time being.

  • 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. 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: Could throw off mound soon

    Santos (lat) will long-toss from 150 feet Tuesday and might be cleared to throw off a mound in a few days, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Santos developed right lat soreness early on in camp and resumed throwing a week ago. The reliever should have time to ramp up for Opening Day if he can avoid setbacks, but it's going to be close.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Checks out well after throwing

    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

    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: Should start throwing soon

    Mariners manager Scott Servais said Monday that Santos (lat) is progressing and will begin ramping up his throwing program in the coming days, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Seattle isn't yet ruling Santos out for Opening Day as he works through right lat soreness, but he'll likely need to navigate his upcoming throwing program without setbacks in order to guarantee that he avoids a stint on the injured list to begin his inaugural campaign with the Mariners. Santos was acquired from the White Sox earlier this month with the expectation that he would be a dependable part of the bridge to projected closer Andres Munoz, coming off a 2023 campaign in which he compiled a 3.39 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and a 66:17 K:BB in 66.1 innings.

  • 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.

  • White Sox's Gregory Santos: Easing back from elbow injury

    White Sox general manager Chris Getz noted Tuesday that Santos (elbow) might not be ready for the start of spring training, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Santos finished the 2023 season on the injured list due to right elbow inflammation and just recently resumed throwing in Arizona. Getz said the medical reports have been good so far, but this could be a situation that is slow-played during spring camp in an attempt to avoid significant setbacks. Santos, 24, may find himself in the running for a share of Chicago's closer role in 2024 if his health cooperates.

  • White Sox's Gregory Santos: Elbow inflammation ends season

    Santos was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right elbow inflammation.

    Given that he last pitched Sept. 16, Santos will be ineligible to return this season. He was given an opportunity to run with the closer's role after the trade deadline, but Santos logged a 6.00 ERA and 1.47 WHIP while going 3-for-6 in save situations over the past six weeks. Bryan Shaw, who blew a save Tuesday, and Aaron Bummer are presumably next up for save chances the rest of the way.

  • White Sox's Gregory Santos: Balks in game-winning run

    Santos (2-2) blew the save and took the loss Tuesday against the Royals. He allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and one walk over two-thirds of an inning.

    Santos was unable to convert on Tuesday's save opportunity, marking his third straight blown save. While only one of the two ninth-inning runs was earned, Santos still allowed three baserunners and committed a balk with the bases loaded to give Kansas City the win. Over his last six appearances (5.1 frames), Santos owns a 10.13 ERA and a 6:3 K:BB.

  • White Sox's Gregory Santos: Another poor outing

    Santos allowed three earned runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two across 1.1 innings to blow a save chance Wednesday against the Mariners.

    Santos entered the game in the eighth inning and was in line to attempt a five-out save. However, he unraveled after striking out the leadoff man in the final frame, allowing five consecutive batters to reach base while blowing a two-run advantage. Santos has now blown each of his last two save chances while allowing six earned runs across a combined 2.2 innings. The White Sox lack high-quality relievers in the back of their bullpen, but if he continues to struggle it's possible that Jimmy Lambert or Aaron Bummer could see save chances across the final month of the campaign.

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

    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

    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: Secures save Wednesday

    Santos earned a save against the Yankees on Wednesday, issuing one walk and striking out two batters over two hitless and scoreless innings.

    Santos recently returned from a stint on the bereavement list, and this was his first appearance since Aug. 3. The right-hander entered the game with no outs, one runner on base and Chicago holding a 5-2 lead in the eighth inning, and he worked his way through the heart of New York's order to escape without allowing any damage. When the White Sox scored four times in the bottom of the frame, it made Santos' second inning of work stress-free, and he retired the side in order to earn the save. He's emerged as Chicago's primary closer after Liam Hendriks was lost for the season with an elbow injury and both Kendall Graveman and Reynaldo Lopez were shipped out at the trade deadline.
