Dennis Santana Stats

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Dennis Santana was traded to the Texas Rangers on Thursday for pitcher Kelvin Bautista, according to Rangers executive vice president of communications John Blake. Santana has not been particularly impressive early in his major league career, but he has struggled quite a bit this year as he owns a 6.00 ERA and 10.8 percent strikeout rate over 15 innings of work. Bautista has yet to pitch this year, but in 2019 he was 1-0 with a 2.48 ERA and 39 percent strikeout rate over 29 innings between the Arizona League and Dominican Summer League. As of now, Bautista looks to be the guy with the best potential value, but that's only in deep dynasty formats.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Dennis Santana was placed on the injured list on Saturday after not feeling well following one of his COVID-19 vaccine shots, according to manager Dave Roberts. Santana has an ugly 7.71 ERA in five appearances this season. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers called up infielder Matt Beaty. Santana is obviously well off the fantasy radar. Beaty hit just .220/.278/.360 in 21 games for the Blue last season, and he's slashing .167/.286/.167 with no home runs or RBI in 11 games (14 plate appearances) so far in 2021. But with Zach McKinstry, Chris Taylor and Gavin Lux all dealing with injuries, there's a chance Beaty could see some at-bats in the short term. He's starting in left field and batting sixth against right-hander Joe Musgrove and the San Diego Padres on Sunday.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect Dennis Santana (shoulder) will make a rehab start for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Friday, according to a source. Santana has thrown just 49 2/3 innings on the season over 10 starts between Double-A Tulsa and Triple-A Oklahoma City this year due to injury, but he's sporting a nice 2.54 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 65 strikeouts. If Santana joins the Dodgers to close out the year, it'll be in a relief role.
