Tony Santillan Stats

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Tony Santillan allowed two runs in an inning of work in a 7-0 loss to the New York Mets on Wednesday. Santillan struck out two and allowed two hits, including a two-run homer to Luis Guillorme in the loss. The rookie hurler lost his spot in the starting rotation when Sonny Gray returned from the injured list with the Reds shifting him to the bullpen. Santillan has been decent in his rookie campaign, posting a 1-2 record, 5.03 ERA, 1.68 WHIP, and 23 strikeouts over 19 2/3 innings of work. Santillan in a middle-relief role is of little interest for fantasy gamers, so unless his bullpen travels end up with him pitching in a high-leverage role, he can be ignored in fantasy.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sonny Gray (rib) was placed on the injured list on Thursday due to a rib cage strain. Gray previously spent time on the injured list due to a right groin strain. He was activated on July 2 and made two starts, but is now once again sidelined for the Reds. The veteran has been solid for both Cincinnati and fantasy managers this season with a 3.19 ERA, 80 strikeouts and 23 walks in 12 starts spanning 62 innings. He'll be replaced in the Reds rotation by Tony Santillan. Santillan, one of the organization's most promising pitching prospects, has made four starts for the club this year. In those four starts, he pitched to a 3.78 ERA in 16 2/3 innings while striking out 20 and walking 10. If you're in need of extra rotation options, Santillan might be worth a look. He has a history of missing bats, and there's potential for him to pick up some wins pitching for a team that has a lineup ranked in the top 10 in runs scored, wRC+, on-base percentage and ISO.

Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said that right-hander Tony Santillan will work in relief at Triple-A Louisville. It comes after the Reds optioned Santillan after he allowed two earned runs in three innings against the San Diego Padres on Monday to take his second loss of the season. The 24-year-old wasn't bad in his four starts for Cincinnati, posting a 3.78 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 20/10 K/BB in 16 2/3 innings, but he'll work on improving his fastball-curveball combination on the farm. We'll likely see Santillan back at some point in the second half of the season, and he'll have minimal streaming value in deeper leagues if he re-enters the starting rotation.
