Healthy ahead of spring training Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto said Monday that Santos has already reported to the team's spring training complex and has been throwing bullpen sessions, Ry...

Impact Santos made only eight appearances for Seattle in 2024 due to multiple arm issues, but he finished the season healthy and will head into spring training without limitations. The 25-year-old can be a key member of the Mariners' bullpen if he can stay on the bump, but he's a major health risk.

Wraps '24 with scoreless efforts Santos, who was activated from the injured list Sept. 23, subsequently made two relief appearances during which he fired two scoreless innings while allowing one hit and recording...

Impact Santos got back on the bump at the major-league level for the first time since July 31 when he earned his second hold with a scoreless seventh inning in the series opener against the Athletics on Friday. He got one more frame in during Sunday's regular-season finale, getting through the eighth inning on just nine pitches. It was a modest but encouraging season-ending sample for Santos, who didn't make his 2024 debut until July due to a lat strain and then missed nearly two months with a biceps injury. The hard-throwing right-hander played on a one-year deal this season, and it remains to be seen if the Mariners will want to take another look considering Santos logged all of 7.1 innings across eight appearances due to the injuries.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2024 • MLB.COM

Activated from IL The Mariners reinstated Santos (biceps) from the 15-day injured list Monday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Santos had been on the injured list since Aug. 2 due to right biceps inflammation. He began his rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma in early September, and across six outings he allowed one run on two hits and seven walks while striking out six across 5.1 frames. Santos has joined the Mariners in Houston and will operate out of the bullpen as Seattle makes a final push for a wild-card spot. To make room on the big-league roster for Santos, left-hander Jhonathan Diaz was optioned to the Mariners' Spring Training Complex.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two more scoreless rehab outings Santos (biceps) continued his rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma with one-inning scoreless appearances on Wednesday and Saturday, allowing one hit and two walks while recording...

Impact Santos has now logged 4.1 innings across five appearances with the Rainiers, allowing just one run on one hit but also posting a crooked 5:7 K:BB. While the spotty control is somewhat of a concern, Santos' arm appears primed for a return to the big-league bullpen as the Mariners' make a final push for a wild-card spot during the final week of the regular season.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Another rehab appearance Sunday Santos (biceps) fired two-thirds scoreless innings in Triple-A Tacoma's loss to Oklahoma City on Sunday, issuing two walks and recording a strikeout.

Impact Santos made his second rehab appearance in three days for the Rainiers and bounced back from having allowed a run over two-thirds of an inning in Friday's outing. The right-hander threw another 18 pitches Sunday, although only seven landed for strikes. Santos has exhibited control issues in each of his last two appearances, but from a workload standpoint, he certainly seems to be ready for activation.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Completes third rehab outing Santos (biceps) allowed an earned run on a walk over two-thirds of an inning in Triple-A Tacoma's win over Oklahoma City on Friday. He struck out two.

Impact Making the third appearance of his current rehab assignment, Santos was charged with a run for the first time, although it came via a double allowed by Kirby Snead after the former had exited the game. Santos threw 17 pitches overall and has made his three appearances within a span of seven days, indicating he may be ready for activation at any point.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Clean inning with Tacoma Santos (biceps) fired a scoreless sixth inning in Triple-A Tacoma's extra-inning loss to Oklahoma City on Tuesday, allowing two walks and recording a strikeout.

Impact The right-hander threw 21 pitches overall in a laborious inning, but the silver lining to his control issues was the fact his arm got a good test. Santos has now made two appearances with the Rainiers of an inning apiece, and the Mariners may determine he only needs another turn or two before deeming ready for activation.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starts rehab assignment Santos (biceps) started his rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma against Albuquerque on Friday, firing a scoreless eighth inning during which he allowed a hit and a walk.

Impact Santos got some good work in during his first game action since July 31, throwing 15 pitches during his one frame. The right-hander may only need a couple more setback-free outings before being deemed ready for activation and potentially assisting the Mariners' bullpen down the final stretch of the regular season.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Throwing at Arizona facility Santos (biceps) has begun throwing at the Mariners' extended spring training in Arizona but remains without a timetable for return, MLB.com reports.

Impact Mariners general manager Justin Hollander noted Monday that the team's medical staff doesn't believe there's a kinetic chain issue with Santos after he also missed over three months earlier this season with a right latissimus dorsi strain. However, whether Santos can return before the end of the season remains an open question, and given his checkered medical history the last few months, the team may opt to play it safe.

Mariners' Julio Rodríguez takes next step in recovery from ankle injury, no timeline on return

Mariners center fielder Julio Rodríguez has started running in his recovery from a high-ankle sprain, but the team is still uncertain about the timeline for when their young star c...

AUGUST 3, 2024 • Associated Press

Placed on injured list The Mariners placed Santos on the 15-day injured list with right biceps inflammation Friday, retroactive to Thursday.

Impact Santos' bicep caused him to make an early exit from Wednesday's game, and it will now officially keep him sidelined for at least another two weeks. JT Chargois was added to the active roster to fill the opening in Seattle's bullpen.

AUGUST 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with injured bicep Santos exited Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox due to a bicep injury, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact While Santos didn't suffer another injury to his right knee Wednesday, his bicep discomfort may still prevent him from pitching for another several days. He will undergo an MRI on Thursday to determine the severity of his injury.

JULY 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with injury Santos was removed from Wednesday's game versus Boston due to an apparent injury, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Santos was removed from his appearance last Wednesday due to a right knee injury, though it's unclear if his early exit against the Red Sox is due to a similar issue. If the right-hander's knee is once again bothering him, the Mariners may opt to place him on the injured list this time around.

JULY 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Allows run in return Santos (knee) allowed a run on two hits and a hit batsman and struck out one over two-thirds of an inning in Saturday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.

Impact As expected, Santos was available to pitch after sustaining a minor right knee injury Wednesday. He was once again shaky, putting three of the five batters he faced on base. Santos was charged with a run after Andres Munoz allowed one of them to score on a wild pitch. Through 4.2 innings this season, Santos has a 4:1 K:BB but has allowed four runs while adding a hold, a blown save and a loss across five appearances. He'll likely continue to see high-leverage work, but the Mariners' trade for Yimi Garcia further complicates the path for Santos to get a share of saves.

Likely available Saturday Santos (knee) is feeling better and will likely be available out of the bullpen for Saturday's game against the White Sox, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Santos exited Wednesday's game with a right knee injury and underwent an MRI that "came back OK," per manager Scott Servais. The right-hander has made progress in the last 24 hours and should be available to pitch against his former team Saturday night. Since being activated from the 60-day IL on July 8, Santos has allowed three runs in four innings.

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

Brandon Drury drove in the go-ahead run with an RBI single in the eighth inning as the Los Angeles Angels completed a three-game sweep of the struggling Seattle Mariners 2-1

JULY 24, 2024 • Associated Press

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.
