Santana (ribs) was released by the Braves on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old pitched in 41 games for the Braves this year, compiling a 3.59 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 33 strikeouts over 42.2 innings. The move opened a spot on the 40-man roster for Tucker Davidson, who was added to the World Series roster to replace Charlie Morton (leg).

Santana was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right intercostal strain. The move is retroactive to Sept. 28.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear exactly how long the right-hander has been dealing with the injury, as his only appearance in the past three weeks came on Sept. 20. Since the move is backdated, Santana will be eligible to be activated for the first game of the NLDS next Friday, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy by that point.

Santana was reinstated from the paternity list prior to Saturday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

He has given up one earned run with two strikeouts and three walks in five innings across five appearances this month. Look for Santana to work in low-leverage situations down the stretch.

Santana was placed on the paternity list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Santana tossed a scoreless inning against the Diamondbacks on Monday, but he'll now be away from the team for up to three games. Left-hander Dylan Lee's contract was selected to take his place in the bullpen.

Santana was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was demoted to Gwinnett on Sunday but will quickly rejoin Atlanta with Josh Tomlin (neck) heading to the injured list. Santana has a 3.82 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 31:9 K:BB over 37.2 major-league innings this season.

Atlanta optioned Santana to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Santana was cast off the active roster to make room for starting pitcher Ian Anderson (shoulder), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of his scheduled outing Sunday versus the Giants. Though he scooped up fluky wins in three straight relief appearances earlier this month, Santana has worked in largely low-leverage spots out of the Atlanta bullpen this season. Over 37.2 innings, he's recorded a 3.82 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and three holds.

Santana (2-0) retired the only batter he faced via strikeout and earned the win Friday over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Starter Kyle Muller wasn't able to complete five innings, so Santana was brought into the game. He struck out Victor Robles, and the right-hander ended up in line for a win when Atlanta rallied ahead in the bottom of the fifth. Santana has allowed just three runs in his last 13.1 innings dating back to the start of July, but he has yet to see much high-leverage work. The 29-year-old has a 3.51 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 27:7 K:BB across 33.1 innings while adding three holds.

Santana has allowed only one run over his last eight appearances (nine innings) dating back to June 18, posting a 1.00 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB over that stretch.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old right-hander isn't seeing much high-leverage work -- he has zero wins, saves or holds during that time -- but the performance could move him up in the bullpen pecking order in the second half. Santana's best route to fantasy value might come if Atlanta is forced to deploy bullpen games more often to cover the holes in its rotation.

Santana was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Santana spent just over a week in the minors but will return to the major-league roster after Huascar Ynoa (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Santana has made four relief appearances for Atlanta this year and has allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out one in three innings.

Santana was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old was called up by Atlanta at the end of April and gave up two runs on four hits with one strikeout and two walks in four appearances. Santana could return to the majors later in the year as the team rotates its bullpen pieces.
