EDGE Analysis

Santana was rested Tuesday as Logan Forsythe started at first base. He did enter the game late as a pinch hitter and stole his sixth bag of the season in a 5-4 loss. With Ronald Guzman (hamstring) expected back Thursday, manager Chris Woodward has to figure out how he'll keep Santana's hot bat in the lineup.
