One of the first articles I ever published with RotoBaller was a warning. Specifically, this column dissuaded fantasy owners from buying into Danny Santana's breakout 2014 season. (Yes, I've been doing this for a long time/am old.) That year, Santana had emerged from obscurity as a 23-year-old rookie to hit .319/.353/.472 with 70 runs scored and 20 stolen bases in just 101 games.Virtually no one had heard of Santana prior to this performance. In prospect lists published before the season began, ...

Texas Rangers third baseman Danny Santana went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Angels Tuesday. Santana now has two hits in his last 22 plate appearances, with both hits being home runs. Santana was due for some regression after a torrid start to the second half as his BABIP was over .400 for a while. Things seem to have corrected a bit and fantasy owners should expect Santana to come around again soon. He is still making 45.2 percent hard contact on the season with an impressive ...

Texas Rangers utility man Danny Santana is back in the starting lineup Friday after sitting out of Thursday's game with a sore hamstring. There was never much fear over Santana missing an extended period of time, but the day off may have been exactly what he needed. Santana has not been hitting the ball as well as he was early on in the season, posting an underwhelming .229 batting average through the month of August so far, but he does have five home runs and 13 RBI in that time frame. Feel ...

Texas Rangers utility man Danny Santana (hamstring) sat out of the lineup on Thursday with a sore hamstring, but he's expected to return on Friday. The Rangers are playing it safe here with one of the best surprises in baseball this year, and Santana is also struggling this month. The 28-year-old has been a great waiver pickup for fantasy owners this year, though, hitting .304/.332/.567 overall with 21 long balls, 63 runs, 59 RBI and 13 steals in 365 at-bats. The positional versatility he ...

Texas Rangers first baseman Danny Santana (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Santana will get a routine day off to rest here. He's cooled off with the bat after hitting .391 in July, so maybe a day off will help him get his swing back. Scott Heineman will play first base and bat eighth versus lefty Ross Detwiler. Heineman has three hits in 21 at-bats at the major league level this season, so he can be avoided in fantasy formats.

Texas Rangers first baseman Danny Santana is out of the starting lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Angels. Santana left Monday's game with hamstring tightness, and should be consider day-to-day for now. Scott Heineman will get the start at first for Texas, but he will likely not be fantasy relevant in any format.

Texas Rangers utilityman Dany Santana went 2-for-5 with his 19th home run of the season Wednesday in Toronto. Santana had a two-run double in the fourth inning and added a solo homer in the eighth in his latest big game. He's been on a tear since the All-Star break with a 1.025 OPS in the second half as he's making more hard contact and hitting the ball to all fields much more than he did earlier in the year. He'll look to stay hot in a weekend series against the Twins and is must-start in all ...

Playing mostly first base as of late, but eligible at three other positions besides, Texas Ranger Danny Santana continued to the ride the wave of his career year, hitting his 18th home run of the season in the sixth inning of a 3-2 loss on the road at Milwaukee on Saturday night. One of the waiver wire stars of the 2019 fantasy season, the multi-eligible Santana has been a revelation in the box, with 18 home runs, 50 RBI, and 67 runs scored in only 336 plate appearances. Santana will look to ...

Texas Rangers outfielder Danny Santana went 3-for-5 with a grand slam and six RBI in a win at Oakland Thursday night. Santana has been unstoppable lately batting .453 with a .868 slugging percentage since July 7. Santana has 15 RBI in 13 games during this hot streak. Santana still strikes out too much at 27.9 percent and barely walks so that could hold him back a bit in points leagues, and his .406 BABIP suggests some regression is coming. Still, he's making 44.6 percent hard contact on the sea[...]
