Returns to action Santana (ankle) allowed a hit and a walk in two-thirds of a scoreless inning, earning his ninth hold of the season Sunday versus the Mariners.

Impact Santana was hit by a comebacker in Saturday's contest, but the Rangers were never seriously concerned about his status. That turned out to be accurate, as he returned a day later with no obvious issues. The right-hander has a 1.40 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB through 19.1 innings this season, serving as a high-leverage option as part of the setup path to closer Joe Barlow.

Dealing with left ankle contusion Santana sustained a left ankle contusion during Saturday's game against the Mariners, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Santana entered Saturday's matchup in the sixth inning and struck out one in a scoreless inning. However, he took a comebacker off his left ankle to close out the inning. Although he recovered to make the play, he was limping badly on his way off the field and had to be helped down the dugout stairs. The Rangers said later in the game that the right-hander didn't depart because of the injury and said that the issue doesn't appear to be serious. Santana should be considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's series finale against Seattle.

Earns first save Santana struck out one batter in a perfect inning and notched a save over Oakland on Friday.

Impact Santana was given his first save opportunity of the year Friday and finished off the 8-5 with no issue, tossing 10 of 11 pitches for strikes. Primary closer Joe Barlow had thrown 24 pitches over the last two games, which could be the reason Santana was handed this save chance. He lowered his season ERA to 1.93 with one save and six holds through 14 innings. Santana has gone five straight appearances without allowing an earned run.

Allows unearned run Santana allowed an unearned run on one walk over one inning in Wednesday's 8-2 loss to the Royals.

Impact The run may have been unearned, but the blame falls directly on Santana, whose throwing error and wild pitch allowed Whit Merrifield to reach third base with none out. The reliever has been effective for the Rangers with just one earned run allowed over eight innings (1.13 ERA, 0.62 WHIP) and five holds. Working against those results are his BABIP (.125), FIP (3.37) and xERA (2.83), which indicate a correction is coming.
