Tony Santillan Stats

The Cincinnati Reds re-signed right-hander Tony Santillan to a minor-league deal on Thursday that includes an invitation to major-league camp in spring training next year. Because of injuries, Santillan has appeared in only 24 games for the Reds in the last two seasons. He tossed just 3 1/3 innings in 2023 and gave up an earned run while walking five and striking out one. The 26-year-old should be a much bigger contributor for Cincinnati's bullpen in 2024 if he can remain healthy for the first time since his rookie campaign. In his three seasons in the majors, Santillan has a 3.66 ERA (4.59 FIP), 1.49 WHIP, 38 walks and 78 strikeouts in 66 1/3 innings over 50 appearances (four starts). He will not be on the fantasy radar to open the 2024 season.

The Cincinnati Reds have designated right-hander Tony Santillan for assignment on Tuesday, as the club needed space on the 40-man roster for the newly promoted Alejo Lopez. The 26-year-old has only pitched 3 1/3 innings this season as he dealt with a back and hamstring issue that sidelined him until July. Santillan owns a career 3.66 ERA, 1.49 WHIP, and 25.7% strikeout rate across three seasons, all with the Reds. If he latches on with another club, he likely won't be a factor late in ball games, so fantasy managers can ignore him in all leagues.

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Tony Santillan had a rough outing in Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He entered in the ninth inning while the team was winning 4-1 and he wound up giving up two hits, two walks and four runs (two earned) while recording just one out. He has now blown two consecutive save opportunities and is 4-for-7 overall on the year on save chances. No other Reds relievers seem to be breathing down his neck for the ninth inning role at this point, so we could see Santillan remain the favorite for saves despite his recent struggles. He should remain rostered in most leagues where saves are particularly scarce.
