EDGE Analysis

With the twin bill beginning at 2:05 p.m EDT, Texas will face a quick turnaround for a decision on the status of Santana, who exited with left hamstring tightness after appearing to suffer the injury while rounding first base on a fourth-inning double. The Rangers will reassess Santana's status early Tuesday, but even if the injury proves to be a non-issue, it would be somewhat surprising if he played both ends of the doubleheader.

Santana started at first base and went 0-for-5 in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Santana, who batted .391 in July and was hitting .330 on Aug. 2, has cooled off since then. Over the past 13 games, he's 11-for-56 (.196) with a .635 OPS, although he's stayed relevant with six extra-base hits -- including three home runs -- seven RBI and six runs scored. He should maintain a spot in the starting lineup most nights, either at first base or in the outfield.

Santana went 2-for-4 with two doubles in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Santana essentially accounted for the Rangers' only resistance against the Toronto pitching staff, which limited Texas to five hits on the night. The performance was a welcome sight for Santana, who had gone 3-for-27 with 11 strikeouts over the prior seven games. The recent slump shouldn't result in Santana falling out of an everyday role, especially with another regular player in Joey Gallo (wrist) facing an uncertain timeline to return from the injured list.

The 28-year-old has been on fire since the All-Star break, slashing .388/.414/.836 in his last 16 games with seven homers, three steals, 13 runs and 18 RBI. Santana could be on the move at the trade deadline, and a new team might be the only thing that can derail his career year -- after hitting only 13 homers through his first 364 big-league games, he's got 16 in 79 contests this season.
