The Reds reassigned Santillan to minor-league camp Friday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Santillan yielded just one hit with a 10:0 K:BB over five scoreless innings this spring but still wasn't able to make the team. It would not be a surprise if he decided to opt out of his contract and look for another gig elsewhere.

Cincinnati re-signed Santillan on Thursday to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Santillan has been bogged down by various injuries over the last two seasons, but he posted a shiny 2.91 ERA with 56 strikeouts over 43.1 innings as a rookie in 2021. With better luck on the health front, the 26-year-old right-hander could reestablish himself as a useful part of the Reds' bullpen mix in 2024.

Santillan was designated for assignment by the Reds on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Santillan missed the first three months of the 2023 campaign due to back and hamstring injuries and has posted an ugly 9.26 ERA across 23.1 innings of relief at Triple-A. The 26-year-old right-hander showed a lot of promise as a rookie in 2021, but he is now off the 40-man roster in Cincinnati.

Santillan has given up four earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven in six innings across six relief appearances for Triple-A Louisville since the Reds optioned him to the minors July 19.

EDGE Analysis

Santillan was summoned from Louisville to serve as the 27th man in the Reds' July 18 doubleheader with the Giants, but he was sent back to the minors a day later. He retains a spot on the 40-man roster and could be in the mix for a call-up later on this season, but the Reds don't have an immediate need for an extra bullpen arm.

Cincinnati added Santillan as the 27th man for Tuesday night's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Santillan can be utilized by the Reds in their regularly-scheduled game versus San Francisco after Monday's suspended contest is completed. The 26-year-old missed the first three months of the 2023 season due to lingering back and hamstring injuries, but he logged two scoreless innings for Cincinnati earlier this month and worked a scoreless frame with two strikeouts this past weekend at Triple-A Louisville.

The Reds optioned Santillan to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

After throwing two scoreless innings since returning from the 60-day injured list Thursday, Santillan will be pushed off the active roster to make room for Michael Mariot, who was selected from Louisville on Saturday. The 26-year-old righty put up a 7.00 ERA and 2.22 WHIP through nine innings during his rehab assignment in Triple-A, and he'll likely have to show significant improvement before rejoining the Reds' bullpen.

Santillan (1-0) picked up the win in Thursday's game against Washington. He allowed one hit over a scoreless ninth inning in a 5-4 extra-inning win.

EDGE Analysis

Santillan was activated off the 60-day injured list earlier in the day and made his season debut. He was one of six relievers to throw Thursday. Santillan is expected to be a key reliever in the middle innings for the Reds, per MLB.com.

Santillan (back/hamstring) was activated from the 60-day injured list Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Finally recovered from lingering back and hamstring injuries, Santillan will be available out of the Reds' bullpen -- for the first time this season -- Thursday afternoon against the Nationals. The 26-year-old right-hander holds a career 3.71 ERA with 77 strikeouts in 63 major-league innings.

Santillan (hamstring) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

A setback in May delayed Santillan's rehab process, but after a few sessions in the bullpen and during live batting practice, the 26-year-old righty is now approaching a return to Cincinnati. There's no word on how long the Reds plan on keeping him on assignment, though multiple appearances are likely.

Santillan (knee/hamstring) resumed throwing bullpen sessions Saturday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Santillan suffered a setback in May that shut him down from throwing, but he is now back doing mound work. He's slated to throw live batting practice next week and could begin a rehab assignment shortly after that.
