Santana started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a triple in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Santana made his fourth consecutive start since being activated off the injured list, with three of those starts in center field. Enrique Hernandez, who had been the primary center fielder before Santana's arrival, made his third straight start at second base Tuesday.

Santana went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

In his second game with Boston, Santana went deep for the second time, swatting a 414-foot shot to center field in the sixth inning. Earlier in the contest, he swiped his first bag of the campaign after reaching on a hit-by-pitch. Santana could carve out frequent playing time if he continues to produce at the plate, especially in light of his considerable defensive versatility. He's only two years removed from a season during which he belted 28 homers and stole 21 bags, so he could be a sneaky fantasy pickup with the ability to contribute across multiple categories.

Santana started at first base, batted leadoff and went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 11-3 win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Santana had his contract selected Friday and was put to work immediately, giving Bobby Dalbec a breather at first base. The versatile infielder/outfielder, who is a switch hitter, could become a semi-regular, in the same vein as Marwin Gonzalez, slotting in at various spots. Second base, when Enrique Hernandez is in center field, and left field are the primary positions that could be available to Santana.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old started the minor-league season 9-for-20 at Triple-A Worcester and quickly earned a promotion to the big-leagues. Santana struggled in 15 games last year before going down with an injury, but he had a .858 OPS with Texas during 2019. He should operate in a utility role and see time between first base, second base and center field.

Santana is expected to be called up ahead of Boston's weekend series in Philadelphia, Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes reports.

EDGE Analysis

Santana missed the start of the regular season due to a foot infection but has been performing well in the minors recently. The 30-year-old has appeared in eight minor-league games and hit .433 with three home runs and six RBI during that time.

Santana went 2-for-4 with a double for Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Santana has sizzled at two minor-league levels, batting a combined .433/.471/.833 with three home runs, six RBI and six runs scored over eight games. The infielder/outfielder, who hit 28 home runs for Texas in 2019, could be a useful addition to a club that's lacking consistent production in left field, second base and first base.

Santana could be recalled from Triple-A Worcester later in the week, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Santana was recently moved to Triple-A on a rehab assignment, and it appears he's now at full strength. Boston has yet to promote the 30-year-old to the majors, but according to Speier, the call could come at any point during the upcoming six-game road trip against Toronto and then Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Santana moved his rehab assignment from High-A Greenville to the Triple-A WooSox, a sign that he's nearing the point where he could join Boston's roster. The 30-year-old has experience at all the non-catching positions and could be helpful at second base and the outfield. The Red Sox are currently down two infielders with Enrique Hernandez (hamstring) and Christian Arroyo (hand) on the injured list. Hernandez's injury also impacts the outfield, as he has been a regular in center field. That means Boston is relying more on Franchy Cordero, who has struggled at the dish.

Santana (foot) will continue his rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Santana played in three rehab games with High-A Greenville over the past week and went 4-for-10 with a home run, a double, two runs and two RBI during that time. The 30-year-old appears to be trending toward full health since he'll now face upper-level talent in the minors. Once Santana is deemed fully healthy, the Red Sox will need to add him to the active roster or release him.

Santana (foot) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Greenville on Tuesday, Chris Hatfield of SoxProspects.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Santana began playing in simulated games at the alternate training site last week, and he appears to be trending toward full health. It's not yet clear how many games Santana will require to ramp up during his rehab assignment, but the Red Sox will need to decide whether to add the 30-year-old to the active roster or release him once he's fully healthy.
