Reaches MiLB deal with Atlanta Santana agreed to a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Saturday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Santana struggled mightily with Arizona early in the season, slashing .083/.154/.125 with a 2:8 BB:K over 26 plate appearances. The 40-year-old then suffered an adductor strain in early April, and when he was activated from the IL this past Wednesday, he was subsequently designated for assignment. Santana ultimately cleared waivers and was released, clearing the way for him to get a look from Atlanta. He'll presumably begin his stint with the organization as veteran depth at Triple-A Gwinnett, but if he performs well he could get another chance in the majors.

Impact Santana was DFA'd by the D-backs immediately after being activated from the 60-day IL on Wednesday. He's free to explore other opportunities now that he's passed through waivers and entered free agency, though the 40-year-old first baseman may also consider hanging up his cleats.

Activated, loses roster spot The Diamondbacks reinstated Santana (adductor) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday and designated him for assignment.

Impact Santana began the season in an everyday role at first base, but he produced a dreadful .083/.154/.125 slash line and struck out in eight of his 26 plate appearances over eight games before hitting the shelf April 7 due to a right adductor strain. After suffering a setback in May while out on a rehab assignment, Santana returned to action in the minors earlier this month but continued to struggle over eight games, batting .130 with a 3:7 BB:K. With Pavin Smith, LuJames Groover and Ildemaro Vargas all available on the big-league roster as options at first base, the Diamondbacks no longer had room for Santana. Assuming that the 40-year-old isn't claimed off waivers by another team, the Diamondbacks are likely to grant him his release.
