GREGORY SANTOS NEWS

Could return Saturday Mariners manager Scott Servais said Friday that the results of Santos' MRI on his right knee "came back OK," Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's not as promising as hearing that the MRI came back clean, but it appears Santos will avoid a stint on the IL and could be available as soon as Saturday. Santos was removed in the eighth inning of Wednesday's game against the Angels after being called for a balk. Before exiting Wednesday, he allowed two runs on two hits while striking out one over 0.2 innings.

Brandon Drury's RBI single in the 8th helps Angels beat Mariners 2-1 to complete 3-game sweep

Exits early Wednesday Santos was removed from Wednesday's game against the Angels due to an apparent injury, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Impact Santos was called for a balk in the eighth inning and looked to be in pain immediately afterward, prompting a visit from a trainer and the right-hander's eventual removal. It isn't immediately apparent what is bothering him, but the Mariners should have more information on his status following the game.

Solid since IL return Santos has allowed an earned run on two hits and a walk over 3.1 innings while recording two strikeouts and a hold in his three appearances since being activated from the 60-day in...

Impact Santos has made three appearances overall following his delayed start to the season, with the most recent coming Sunday against the Astros. The right-hander earned a hold despite surrendering a Chas McCormick RBI single over 1.1 innings, and given how long he was on the shelf, Santos has acquitted himself impressively overall thus far. He figures to primarily slot in as a sixth- and seventh-inning option for the time being, although he did garner some high-leverage experience last season while converting five of nine save chances for the White Sox in 2023.

Impact Santos has a delayed start to the season due to a lat strain, but the right-hander earned his first hold Sunday. He figures to primarily slot in behind closer Andres Munoz and top set-up man Ryne Stanek for now, although he has high-leverage experience after serving a stint as closer for the White Sox last season.

Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez hits for cycle against Mariners

Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez hit for the cycle against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday, becoming the 10th player in Houston history to accomplish the feat

Activated from 60-day IL The Mariners activated Santos (lat) from the 60-day injured list Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Santos has been sidelined all season while recovering from a right lat strain. He made jus two rehab appearances, striking out a pair of two scoreless frames. Santos reportedly reached 99 mph on the radar gun in his last outing, helping to convince the Mariners that he was ready to go. The 24-year-old should eventually find himself in high-leverage situations for Seattle, but he could be eased into such spots. Santos will be making his Mariners debut when he gets into a game after being acquired via trade from the White Sox over the offseason.

Solid in second rehab outing Santos (lat) fired a scoreless fourth inning for High-A Everett against Vancouver on Saturday, recording a strikeout.

Impact Santos needed just eight pitches to get through his one frame Saturday, following a 13-pitch rehab debut with Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday. The right-hander may have already done enough to warrant his activation, however, as MLB.com reports Santos will be evaluated for a possible return during Monday's team off day ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Padres.

Scoreless frame in rehab debut Santos (lat) fired a scoreless inning in Triple-A Tacoma's win over Salt Lake on Tuesday, allowing a hit and recording a strikeout.

Impact Santos' long-awaited return to game action consisted of 13 pitches, nine which he located for strikes. Per reports from Triple-A Tacoma play-by-play announcer Mike Curto relayed by MLB.com, Santos' fastball was regularly at 97-99 mph during the outing, while the slider checked in the 87-90 mph range. Santos is slated to make at least a couple of more rehab appearances before activation is considered, and he's expected to be handled with caution once he does return to the big-league roster. "We're going to have to be very guarded on how we use him and kind of build him up," manager Scott Servais said. "It'll be an inning at a time here or there. There will be some days off in between."

Another live BP set Santos (lat) is set to throw another live batting practice Friday in Seattle and could begin a rehab assignment shortly thereafter, MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander put together a very encouraging live BP on Saturday in Miami before that day's game against the Marlins, using his sinker/slider combo with great effectiveness and impressive velocity against Ryan Bliss and Tyler Locklear in a 10-pitch session. If Santos encounters similar success Friday, it appears he'll be ticketed for what should be a fairly lengthy rehab assignment, given he's been sidelined since spring training.

Ups throwing distance Santos (lat) recently upped his throwing distance to 120 feet, MLB.com reports.

Impact A recent shift to the 60-day IL didn't impact Santos' return timeline, as he was never expected to be able to return before late May. That appears to still remain realistic, and he's slated to continue throwing at the 120-foot distance throughout this week before upping his intensity again.

Slated for MRI Santos (lat) will receive an MRI in the coming days, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Santos strained his right lat during a bullpen session earlier in spring camp, and his MRI will determine if the inflammation has gone down enough for him to resume his throwing program. Santos will begin the year on the injured list, but his absence isn't expected to extend more than a couple months into the regular season.

Not yet in rehab routine Santos, who suffered a mild lat strain Monday, is still "waiting to get things calmed down" before officially beginning a rehab routine, MLB.com reports.

Impact The update comes directly from manager Scott Servais, who's counting on Santos to play a key seventh- and eighth-inning role this season. Santos has already been ruled out for Opening Day, however, and it's likely extra caution is taken as the restart date of his baseball activities considering he's also already dealt with a shoulder problem this spring.

Could throw off mound soon Santos (lat) will long-toss from 150 feet Tuesday and might be cleared to throw off a mound in a few days, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Santos developed right lat soreness early on in camp and resumed throwing a week ago. The reliever should have time to ramp up for Opening Day if he can avoid setbacks, but it's going to be close.

Resuming throwing program Tuesday Santos (lat) will resume a throwing program Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Santos has been slowed this spring by some soreness in his right lat which cropped up during an early bullpen session. He's made the necessary progress to be cleared to throw again and will presumably start with some flat-ground work before progressing to the mound and facing hitters. Santos has time to be ready for Opening Day but can't afford a setback.
