Santana started at first base and went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

With second baseman Rougned Odor coming off the injured list Friday, manager Chris Woodward wanted to keep Santana's hot bat in the lineup, so he was move to first base for the first time during his career. Ronald Guzman (hamstring) remains on the IL, so Santana could continue to get at-bats until Guzman is ready to return. Friday's 0-fer was just the second time in 12 appearances that Santana has not reached base safely.
