INJURIES
Becomes free agent The Pirates released Santana on Wednesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Impact Santana passed through waivers unclaimed after being scrubbed from the Pirates' 40-man roster. The Pirates are responsible for what remains of Santana's $3.5 million salary, and the reliever should latch on with a new organization quickly now that he can be signed to a prorated veteran minimum contract. Santana holds a 6.05 ERA and 37:21 K:BB over 41.2 innings in the majors this season.

Pirates add bullpen depth by acquiring righty reliever Ron Marinaccio from Padres

The Pittsburgh Pirates have acquired reliever Ron Marinaccio from San Diego on in exchange for signing bonus pool considerations
JULY 23 • Associated Press
DFA'd by Pittsburgh The Pirates designated Santana for assignment Thursday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact The move frees a spot on the 26-man and 40-man rosters for the addition of Ron Marinaccio. Santana began 2026 high in the Pirates' bullpen hierarchy, but he has struggled with consistency all season and had allowed 10 runs in 7.1 innings this month. It's possible he'll draw interest via waivers, though his $3.5 million salary could be a deterrent for some clubs.
