GREGORY SANTOS NEWS

Crumbles in ninth inning Santos (2-1) took the loss and blew a save against the Cubs on Wednesday, allowing three runs on two hits and one walk without retiring a batter.

Impact Santos recorded a 1.2-inning save Tuesday and looked dominant with three strikeouts without allowing a baserunner. His outing Wednesday was entirely different, as he faced three batters and gave up a double, walk and walk-off three-run homer to blow the save. Despite the rough appearance, Santos probably won't lose the ninth-inning job since he had been solid prior to the blow-up, collecting three saves and posting an 8:1 K:BB over 6.2 innings while giving up just one run in five prior appearances since he moved into the closer role July 28.

Five-out save Santos did not allow a baserunner across 1.2 scoreless innings while striking out three to earn the save Tuesday against the Cubs.

Impact Santos entered the game with the bases empty in the eighth frame and was dominant on the way to his third save since taking over the full-time closer role for the White Sox. He's been used to record more than three outs in three of his last six appearances, during which he's maintained a 2.16 ERA and 0.96 WHIP while maintaining a 9:1 K:BB across 8.1 innings.

Secures save Wednesday Santos earned a save against the Yankees on Wednesday, issuing one walk and striking out two batters over two hitless and scoreless innings.

Impact Santos recently returned from a stint on the bereavement list, and this was his first appearance since Aug. 3. The right-hander entered the game with no outs, one runner on base and Chicago holding a 5-2 lead in the eighth inning, and he worked his way through the heart of New York's order to escape without allowing any damage. When the White Sox scored four times in the bottom of the frame, it made Santos' second inning of work stress-free, and he retired the side in order to earn the save. He's emerged as Chicago's primary closer after Liam Hendriks was lost for the season with an elbow injury and both Kendall Graveman and Reynaldo Lopez were shipped out at the trade deadline.

Returns from bereavement Santos was activated from the bereavement list Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact He had been away from the club since Saturday. Santos is in the mix for saves and perhaps even the favorite to serve as closer in the White Sox' makeshift bullpen.

Lands on bereavement list Santos was placed on the bereavement list Saturday.

Impact Santos appears to have taken over as Chicago's closer, but he'll step away from the team for 3-to-7 days for personal reasons. Aaron Bummer is likely the top option for saves until Santos rejoins the White Sox.

Looking like new closer Santos picked up the save Friday against the Guardians. He allowed one hit while striking out two over a scoreless inning.

Impact The hard-throwing right-hander completed the shutout, securing the win for Touki Toussaint. It was only Santos' second save this season, but both have come in July and Scott Merkin of MLB.com suggests Santos is emerging as manager Pedro Grifol's preferred closer in the absence of Liam Hendriks (elbow). Keynan Middleton has struggled lately, pitching to a 8.59 ERA in July.

Earns first save Santos allowed two runs on three hits in one inning of work against Oakland on Sunday. He struck out one and earned a save.

Despite the shaky outing, he owns a 2.95 ERA with a 42:10 K:BB through 42.2 innings this season. However, he had a 1.95 ERA through 28 games but has given up seven runs over his last 10.1 innings. Kendall Gravemen and Reynaldo Lopez were not used Sunday.
