Santillan's (back/knee/hamstring) recently scheduled live batting practice session was scratched due to left hamstring soreness, Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Santillan had finally been making some progress as he works his way back from back, knee and hamstring problems, but now he's had another setback. His future status is uncertain.

Santillan (back) was transferred to the 60-day injured list by the Reds on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Matt Reynolds. Santillan was on a rehab assignment from a back injury earlier this month when he suffered a knee injury. It's not clear how long he'll be out, but he's now not eligible for activation for another month.

Santillan (back) was pulled off his rehab assignment Friday due to right knee discomfort.

EDGE Analysis

Santillan had been pushing toward his season debut after battling a back injury last year and again this spring, but that plan will be put on hold due to this knee issue he picked up at Triple-A Louisville. The severity of the setback is not yet clear.

Santillan (back) will report to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Santillan was placed on the 15-day injured list with his back injury on Opening Day and didn't get a chance to pitch in the Cactus League. The right-hander is expected to work in a relief role once back with the Reds, and barring a setback that should take place sometime in the middle of April.

Santillan (back) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Santillan did manage to begin appearing in minor-league games toward the end of spring training, but he still has some build-up ahead as he recovers from a lingering back strain.

Santillan (back) is scheduled to pitch a minor-league game Wednesday for the Reds in Arizona, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will be Santillan's first game of the spring season -- albeit on the minor-league fields -- as he has been sidelined with a back strain that also saw him miss action during the 2022 campaign. The right-hander is hoping to return to MLB play in the middle of April, and barring something unforeseeable he'll open the 2023 campaign on the injured list.

Santillan (back) threw a live batting practice session Saturday, facing Will Benson and Jose Barrero, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. It was his first live session of the spring.

EDGE Analysis

Santillan is targeting a return to game action by mid-April, though what role he'll have upon his return remains uncertain.

Santillan (back) is throwing a side session Tuesday in Reds camp, Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Santillan is likely to spend a bit of time on the IL to begin the 2023 regular season as he continues to work through a back strain that popped up last summer, but the hope is that he could be a high-leverage bullpen option in Cincinnati around early-to-mid April.

Santillan (back) could be delayed at the start of the season, Reds manager David Bell told Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Santillan is making steady progress in his recovery from the lower-back strain that he suffered last summer, but he hasn't quite returned to full strength yet. The 25-year-old right-hander projects to fill a middle-relief role for Cincinnati whenever he is fit enough to do so.

Santillan (back) is unlikely to return this season, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager David Bell called it a "long shot" to expect Santillan to return from his lower-back strain this season. Alexis Diaz has emerged as the Reds' go-to option for saves in Santillan's absence.
