Héctor Santiago News
Seattle Mariners pitcher Hector Santiago has been suspended for 80 games after testing positive for exogenous Testosterone, a performance-enhancing substance in violation of MLB's Drug and Treatment Program. What a year for Hector Santiago, who was suspended 10 games earlier in the year for a foreign substance and now 80 games for PEDs. The 33-year-old is out for the remainder of the season and will miss the beginning of the 2022 campaign. Santiago finishes 2021 with a (1-1) record and a 3.42 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and a 30:11 K: BB across 26 1/3 innings in 2021.
Seattle Mariners left-hander Hector Santiago has finished his 10-game suspension after being found with an illegal substance on his glove last month. The Mariners have been down to 25 players since July 3, the first day of Santiago's suspension. Santiago has pitched well out of the bullpen for the Mariners and has helped keep them in contention late in July. Across 24 1/3 innings, he has posted a 3.33 ERA, 27.4 K%, 9.4 BB% and has surrendered two home runs. There isn't much fantasy value in Santiago, who hasn't had any save chances and has zero holds on the year as more of a middle-relief arm.
Seattle Mariners pitcher Hector Santiago's appeal of his 10-game suspension for using a foreign substance was denied Thursday, according to Jeff Passan. Santiago will serve the full suspension, and the Seattle Mariners will not be able to fill the roster spot while he is sidelined. Santiago is the first player to be suspended under the new rules regarding foreign substances. He can be dropped from any fantasy rosters, and managers will want to stay tuned to see how his absence affects the Mariners roster and pitcher usage on the whole.
