Released by Guardians The Guardians released Santana on Thursday.

Impact Santana went unclaimed after being placed on outright waivers Tuesday. His playing time has dwindled over the past few weeks, and he owns a career-low .649 OPS through 455 plate appearances, so the Guardians will now eat the $2 million still remaining on Santana's contract and part ways with the veteran first baseman. He's now free to sign with whichever team he would like, though his age and declining production may limit the amount of interest he receives in the open market.

Placed on outright waivers The Guardians have placed Santana on outright waivers, Zack Meisel and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic report.

Impact Santana has started just 10 of 21 games since the Guardians called up C.J. Kayfus, and the club might now be ready to completely sever ties with the veteran first baseman. The 39-year-old is slashing just .225/.316/.333 in 2025 and is owed a bit more than $2 million for the remainder of the season, so it seems likely he'll clear waivers. The Guardians could keep Santana if that happens, but it's likelier at this point that they move on.

Sitting in second straight Santana is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact The Guardians will give Jose Ramirez a day off from playing defense and use him at designated hitter, leaving no room in the starting nine for Santana for the second day in a row. The switch-hitting Santana should still be locked into an everyday role against left-handed pitching, but he could have to settle for more of a part-time role versus righties if the Guardians remain committed to opening up steady playing time for younger bats such as C.J. Kayfus, Daniel Schneenmann and Angel Martinez.
