Santana is on the bench for Monday's game against the Royals, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll be on the bench for the fourth time in five games and appears to have lost out on a regular spot in the lineup to Michael Chavis. Santana has supplied a measly .485 OPS through 76 plate appearances and could soon be at risk of losing his spot on the 40-man roster.
