EDGE Analysis

Santana got aboard with a single in the fourth, then stole second and scored on a Delino DeShields groundout. Santana's other run came on a Rougned Odor homer in the second. The 28-year-old has been a solid five-category contributor this season, with a .286 average, 25 homers, 71 RBI, 73 runs scored and 17 stolen bases in 119 games.

EDGE Analysis

The homer was his 25th of the year but his first since Aug. 30, with Santana slashing a meek .229/.308/.229 in the 10 games between long balls. The steal was also his third in the last four contests, giving him 16 on the season. The 28-year-old appears to be making a late push for a 20/20, or even a 30/20, campaign.

Santana went 0-for-4 with a walk and two stolen bases Tuesday in the Rangers' 5-3 loss to the Rays in 11 innings.

EDGE Analysis

He stole both his bags in the bottom of the ninth inning off lefty Colin Poche, who stranded Santana at third base while inducing an Isiah Kiner-Falefa flyout for the final out of the frame. Now up to 15 steals to go along with his 24 home runs, Santana has been one of the top waiver-wire finds this season, but his productivity has been trending downward since the beginning of August. He's slashing just .197/.218/.408 with eight home runs and three stolen bases during his last 35 games.

Santana is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Santana received the last two starts at third base and went 3-for-9 with a run scored and two RBI, but he'll take a seat in the series finale. Isiah Kiner-Falefa receives the start at the hot corner while Ronald Guzman starts at first base Sunday.

Santana made a second straight start at third base and went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 9-4 win over Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Santana appears to be getting a look at the hot corner, a position that will be wide open as the Rangers enter the offseason, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports. He made a couple of nice plays on hard-hit grounders and handled a ninth-inning sacrifice bunt with aplomb, but he also had a throwing error. "Yeah, he looks good over there," manager Chris Woodward said. "I know he has been working hard, but you never know how it's going to translate. I think playing first has helped him because when you play the corners, you get similar balls from left-handers [at first base] as you do from right-handers. The way he played first base - he attacked a lot of balls - playing third would be easier if you have that attack mentality. Typically, the guys who struggle at third base let the ball play them. He's not afraid to attack." Before the organization explores what are expected to be enticing free-agent options during the offseason -- Anthony Rendon, Mike Moustakas and Josh Donaldson -- internal options are being assessed. Those options also include Nick Solak and Isiah Kiner-Falefa.

Santana started at third base Friday for the fourth time this season and eighth time of his career, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports. He went 1-for-4 in a 7-6 win over Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Santana has played several positions during his career but is least experienced at the hot corner. Despite that history, the Rangers are considering him for their wide-open third base spot next season and want to see if he can handle it.

Santana is not in the lineup Thursday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Santana has started the past four games and gone 3-for-16 (.188) with seven strikeouts and zero walks. Logan Forsythe is manning first base in his stead for Thursday's series opener in Baltimore, with Isiah Kiner-Falefa getting the start at third base.
