Alimber Santa - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Returning to minors The Astros optioned Santa to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact Santa will open the second half in the minors after making two appearances out of the bullpen during his latest stint with the Astros. The young right-hander owns a 1.17 ERA and 0.91 WHIP over his first 15.1 innings in the big leagues, though a weak 5.1 K-BB% indicates that he hasn't been nearly as dominant as the other two ratios would suggest.

Up in majors The Astros recalled Santa from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's a well-deserved return to the big leagues for Santa, who posted a 0.71 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB across 12.2 frames in his first taste of the majors earlier this year. He should fill a low-leverage relief role while up with Houston.

Optioned to Triple-A The Astros optioned Santa to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Santa has made eight relief appearances for Houston this season, giving up five runs (one earned) with an 8:5 KK:B over 12.2 frames of work. He had pitched each of the previous two days, so the Astros are sending Santa down in favor of a fresh bullpen arm in Jayden Murray.

Joins big-league roster The Astros selected Santa's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday.

Impact To make room for Santa on the big-league roster, Jayden Murray was optioned to Triple-A. The 23-year-old Santa will be looking to make his MLB debut during the Astros' weekend series at Wrigley Field. In 18 games with Sugar Land this season, Santa logged a 2.37 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 24:7 K:BB across 19 innings.

MAY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Slated for major-league call-up The Astros are expected to call Santa up from Triple-A Sugar Land, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's not exactly clear when Santa will be called up, but the move will bolster an Astros bullpen operating without Bennett Sousa (elbow) and Josh Hader (biceps). Santa has appeared in 18 games in Triple-A this season and has a 1.42 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, two saves and a 24:7 K:BB across 19 innings.
