Carlos Santana - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Begins rehab assignment Santana (thigh) began a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League on Friday, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

Impact Santana started at first base, played five innings and went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI for the ACL D-backs. He was back at Chase Field to take batting practice with the Diamondbacks on Saturday. It's unclear what role Santana will have once he's ready, as both first base and DH are crowded with Pavin Smith, Ildemaro Vargas and LuJames Groover currently rostered. That doesn't include the pending returns Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) and Jordan Lawlar (wrist), both of whom may need at-bats at DH.

Impact The transaction frees up space on the 40-man roster for Pavin Smith (elbow) who is back from the 60-day IL. Santana had to be pulled off his rehab assignment in mid-May after suffering a setback with his right adductor strain and there is no timetable for his return.

Setback on rehab assignment Santana suffered a setback with his right adductor strain Sunday while on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Santana had appeared poised for activation from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Rangers, but his status is now up in the air. The 40-year-old was functioning as the Diamondbacks' primary first baseman before getting hurt in early April, but with the emergence of Ildemaro Vargas, Santana could be looking at a reduced role when he does make it back.
