Santana started in right field and went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Santana filled in for the injured Nomar Mazara (oblique) who otherwise would have been in the lineup against the right-handed Chad Green. How times have changed for Santana, who was batting .330 on Aug. 2. Since then, he's gone 23-for-126 (.183), dropping his season average to .285. With Mazara and Hunter Pence (back) idle, Santana will share right field with Shin-Soo Choo and Nick Solak.

Santana went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
The switch hitter had only 13 career homers in 364 MLB games coming into 2019, so Santana's 24 long balls this season is one of the most stunning totals in the entire league. The 28-year-old has added a .289/.315/.554 slash line and 13 steals to his ledger while playing every position on the diamond except pitcher and catcher, and he heads into September as the likely favorite for the AL Comeback Player of the Year Award.

Santana went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Santana entered this season with just 13 homers over 364 games, but he cracked his 23rd home run in the eighth inning. While he's hit a dry patch during August (.210), seven of Santana's 21 hits this month have left the yard.

Santana went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 4-0 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
His seventh-inning blast gave Kolby Allard and the Rangers bullpen more than enough insurance in the shutout. Santana is hitting only .217 (20-for-92) in August, but he's gone yard six times with 15 RBI in 22 games. On the year, the 28-year-old is slashing .299/.327/.564 with 22 homers, 12 steals, 61 RBI and 63 runs.

Santana went 3-for-5 with an RBI in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Santana was removed from Monday's game with a hamstring injury and was held out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's matinee game, although he did serve as a pinch hitter. He continues to be one of the more productive hitters in the Rangers' lineup, posting a 1.000 OPS in the second half.
